Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C 35mm ca 2000 watch? A: It’s a Swiss‑made, stainless steel Cartier Pasha C from around 2000 with a 35mm case, black dial featuring luminous hands and Arabic numerals, an automatic movement and a date display. The Pasha line is known for its refined sporty elegance and signature screw‑down crown cap. This listing is delivered with its box as stated.
Q: Which movement does it use? A: Pasha C models from this era commonly house an automatic movement, often the Cartier calibre 049 (based on the ETA 2892‑A2). Exact calibre can vary by reference; we’re happy to verify the movement in this specific watch on request.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The Pasha range was designed with robust water resistance (often rated around 100 metres), but on vintage watches water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best unless the gaskets are replaced and the watch is professionally tested. Always ensure the crown/cap is fully secured before any exposure to moisture.
Q: How do I set the time and date safely? A: Unscrew the crown/cap. Position 1: wind the watch (about 20–40 turns if it has stopped). Position 2: quickset the date. Position 3: set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am. When finished, push in and screw down the crown/cap firmly to help maintain moisture resistance.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Most Cartier Pasha C models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: This watch fits a wrist of approximately 17.25 cm or smaller. The stainless steel bracelet can be sized by adding/removing links. Additional links may be sourced subject to availability; share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise sizing options.
Q: What power reserve and accuracy should I expect? A: Comparable Cartier/ETA 2892‑A2‑based movements typically offer around 40–42 hours of power reserve. Accuracy varies with age and service history; a routine service every 5–10 years is generally recommended, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow or any moisture ingress. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and wipe it clean after wear.
Q: What makes the Pasha C design distinctive? A: The Pasha C blends sporty utility with luxury detailing: a rounded case with prominent screw‑down crown cap, crisp Arabic numerals, luminous hands for readability, and a clean, balanced dial. The 35mm size provides versatile, unisex wear with a refined presence on the wrist.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: Very good overall with light traces of use. There are scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with careful wear. Please request close‑up photos if you’d like us to highlight any specific areas.
