Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is the Cartier Colisée watch, and how does it wear on the wrist? A: This watch has a 24 mm case, giving it a refined, petite vintage look on the wrist. It is well suited to those who prefer an elegant and understated watch rather than an oversized style. Please refer to the measurements and product information for the best indication of fit.
Q: What movement does this watch have? A: This Cartier Colisée is fitted with a quartz movement. Quartz watches are valued for their accuracy, ease of wear, and low-maintenance daily use compared with manual-wind watches.
Q: What materials and design details does this watch feature? A: According to the product information, this piece features a gold-plated vermeil case, a black dial with Roman numeral markers, a blue cabochon crown, and a black leather strap with a pin buckle closure. These details are characteristic of Cartier's timeless dress-watch aesthetic.
Q: What does vermeil mean on a vintage Cartier watch? A: Vermeil refers to a layer of gold plating over a sterling silver base. On vintage Cartier watches, this gives the warm look of gold while remaining lighter and more delicate than a solid gold case. As with all vermeil pieces, gentle wear and careful storage are recommended to help preserve the finish.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors choose vintage Cartier quartz watches for regular wear thanks to their elegant size and practical movement. That said, as this is a vintage piece with a leather strap and a plated case, it is best treated with care and protected from knocks, moisture, perfume, and prolonged direct sunlight.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant? A: With vintage watches, it is safest not to assume full water resistance unless the watch has been recently pressure tested. To help protect the movement, dial, leather strap, and case finish, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, and other direct exposure to water.
Q: What is the condition of this specific watch? A: This watch is listed in very good condition. The product information notes light scratches on the case, light traces of use internally, and shiny hardware with light scratches. This level of wear is consistent with a carefully used vintage watch.
Q: Does this watch come with its original box or papers? A: No. The product information states that this piece comes with no accessories. If any item is not listed in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced in the future? A: Yes, leather straps on watches of this style are generally replaceable. Many buyers choose to refresh a vintage watch over time with a new strap in a similar style, though keeping the original look and proportions is often preferred for the most classic Cartier presentation.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Cartier Colisée watch? A: Store it in a dry place away from humidity and heat, avoid water exposure, and wipe the case gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Because this is a quartz Cartier, periodic battery changes and routine servicing by a qualified professional are recommended to keep it performing well and to help preserve the case, seals, and movement over time.
