Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Cartier 21 Must de Cartier watch? A: This watch has a 28 mm case, which is considered a small and elegant vintage size. It wears neatly on the wrist and suits those who prefer a refined, classic look rather than an oversized watch.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist up to 15 cm and comes with 5 extra links. This gives some flexibility for resizing, but we recommend comparing the measurement with a watch you already wear comfortably before purchasing.
Q: What movement does this watch use? A: The Cartier 21 Must de Cartier in this size and reference is typically a Swiss quartz watch. Quartz movements are battery powered, making them convenient for everyday wear and generally easy to maintain through professional battery changes and periodic servicing.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering? A: Vintage Cartier 21 Must de Cartier watches are generally best treated as splash-resistant rather than swim-ready. Even if this model was originally rated for light water resistance, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, and prolonged contact with water, especially with a vintage watch.
Q: What design details make this model distinctive? A: This piece features the signature Cartier 21 look: a stainless steel and gold-tone case and bracelet, engraved Roman numeral bezel, cream dial, blue hands, and a blue cabochon crown. It is a recognisable vintage Cartier design that balances sporty and elegant styling.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: According to the product information, the watch is in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, and the internal condition is also noted as very good.
Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other extras? A: This listing comes with no accessories. Please refer to the product information for exactly what is included with the watch.
Q: What does “Must de Cartier” mean? A: “Must de Cartier” refers to a vintage Cartier line created to offer the Maison’s signature design language in a more accessible form. Today, these watches are appreciated for their strong period style, collectable appeal, and unmistakable Cartier details.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized or serviced later? A: Yes, bracelet links can usually be adjusted by a professional watchmaker or Cartier service point. Quartz Cartier watches can also be serviced with battery replacement and seal checks, which is especially advisable for vintage pieces.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Cartier watch like this? A: At A Retro Tale, vintage designer items are carefully reviewed for authenticity using brand-specific details such as construction, materials, markings, design features, and overall consistency. If you would like more information before purchasing, you are welcome to contact us for additional guidance.
