Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this watch, and how does it wear on the wrist? A: This watch has a 35 mm case, which gives it a versatile vintage size with a little more presence than the smaller Must 21 models. It is fitted on a bracelet that currently suits a wrist of up to 17 cm.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: This Cartier 21 Must de Cartier is a quartz watch, so it is battery-powered rather than automatic. Quartz movements are appreciated for their convenience, accuracy, and ease of everyday wear.
Q: Does this watch have a date function? A: Yes. This model features a date window positioned at 6 o'clock, adding a practical everyday function while keeping the dial balanced and elegant.
Q: What are the key design details of this model? A: This piece combines a stainless steel and gold-plated case and bracelet with a white dial, blued steel hands, Roman numerals on the bezel, and a blue cabochon crown. It also closes with a hidden butterfly clasp for a clean, streamlined look.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The watch is described as being in very good condition overall. There are light scratches to the case and bracelet, which are consistent with careful pre-owned wear and vintage character.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted? A: The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of 17 cm or smaller. Metal bracelets can often be shortened by a watchmaker, but any enlargement depends on the availability of extra links, which are not included unless specifically stated on the product page.
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear? A: Yes, the quartz movement and versatile steel-and-gold design make it well suited to regular wear. As with any vintage watch, we recommend treating it with a little extra care and avoiding knocks, harsh chemicals, and unnecessary moisture exposure.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: Vintage watches should not be treated like modern sports watches unless they have been recently pressure-tested. For day-to-day peace of mind, it is best to keep this watch away from water and have the seals checked if you plan to wear it often.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: No additional product information is included with this piece. If items such as a box, papers, service records, or extra links were included, they would be specifically noted on the product page.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected for authenticity by specialists before it is offered for sale. If you would like more detail about the watch’s features or condition, you are welcome to contact the team before purchase.
