Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C Big Date Ref. 2475?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made, automatic stainless‑steel wristwatch with a 35mm case, a striking blue dial featuring an oversized big date display, and a matching stainless‑steel bracelet. The Pasha C line is known for its distinctive screw‑down crown cap, blending everyday practicality with refined, timeless design.

Q: Is the movement automatic and how does it wind?
A: Yes—this Pasha C is self‑winding. Normal wear will keep it powered. If it has stopped, give it a manual wind (about 20–40 turns of the crown) to start it, then wear regularly to maintain power. Avoid over‑winding; you’ll feel increased resistance as it nears fully wound.

Q: How do I set the time and the big date safely?
A: Unscrew the crown cap anti‑clockwise to expose the crown. Position 0: wind (if the watch has stopped). Position 1: quickset the date (if applicable). Position 2: set the time. Do not change the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown fully in and screw the cap down snugly.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Pasha’s crown‑cap design was intended to enhance water resistance, but on vintage/pre‑owned watches water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering or submersion unless the seals have been replaced and the watch professionally tested. Always keep the crown cap securely screwed down.

Q: What wrist size does 35mm suit, and is it unisex?
A: 35mm offers a compact, elegant presence ideal for small to medium wrists and those who prefer a classic, understated look. It wears comfortably unisex depending on personal style and wrist shape. The listed bracelet length is approximately 18cm; share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise on fit.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized or swapped for a strap?
A: Yes—bracelets can be sized to your wrist, and additional links can often be sourced subject to availability. Many owners also enjoy the Pasha C on leather straps; we’re happy to advise on compatible strap options and fitting for this reference.

Q: What type of crystal does the Pasha C use?
A: Most Pasha C models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this specific piece, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.

Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect?
A: A well‑maintained automatic watch should keep good time for its era, though performance varies with age and service history. A routine service every 5–10 years is generally recommended, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow, moisture, or reduced power reserve. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and have gaskets checked periodically.
