Like the design quite a lot
I'm not sure I would go for it - for me the MC Tank is somewhat more appealing but I am sure Cartier have a winner on their hands with this one.
Wonderfully versatile, usable and with sufficient stylishness for most situations.
Thanks for your extensive review!
Hands on review of the Cartier Ronde Croisière (stainless steel - slate dial)
For a general brand like Cartier, each market segment plays a significant role. And the new Ronde Croisière collection, which is coming in this end of year brings us a new evidence of this established fact. The aim of this collection is to be inserted int...

Thanks for your words!
The Tank MC is a bit more expensive. This one plays in a lower range. And the Tank is an icon while this one has to win its own stars. But I have to tell you (don't repeat it, it is a secret LOL!): I much prefer Ronde Croisière to Clé. Of course, not the ...
Agree with you
But then I would be willing to pay the bit extra for the Tank Still, good job with this watch.
I'm not sure, I found its size OK
Why? Because, at least with the slate dial version, it looks smaller than it is. Thanks! Fx
I'm surprised but I find it appealing...
First time I see it and wasn't aware of such a style in Cartier's collection (even if I know your Diver already, but I think it is very different). I appreciate the clean and straight to the point case and lugs but with a nice design though. I really like...
I don't think it is a big problem...
Because frankly speaking, it is not very nice! From a commercial point of view, maybe you are right because an entry-level watch is may times the first step in the world of mechanical watches. Fx
Ok I understand where it stands
We can see it rue de la Paix? I should go and pay them a visit, also for other high-end models (I guess they'll be at belles Montres though). Cheers, Mark
For the moment: no.
They will arrive at the boutiques in November I think. And Cartier will not be present at Belles Montres. Fx
I'm trying to imagine the annoying folding clasp without success
FrX, Thanks for the review. I cannot visualise the new folding clasp. The current Mrs MTF and I share our Cartier watches so the excellent, infinitely-adjustable-length Cartier deployant clasp system invented by Mr Jaeger suits us perfectly for watch swap...
Folding clasp
There were two earlier version of the famous folding buckle. The non adjustable invented by Jaeger, the by Cartier improved version, that is adjustable on ONE side only, actually the one you mean and this new version that is adjustable on both sides. The ...
Thanks Melvyn for your comments. Geo answered you about the clasp...
But it is also a very personal feeling. Fx
Very nice looking!
As you said, not a diver... But a lot of the graphic elements makes me think of a vintage divers watch! As for the solid case back - I think it is good, but after viewing the very nice design and attention to details on the front I was expecting something...
Frankly, it looks like a cheap knockoff! (IMHO)
I can't believe Cartier rolled this watch out. The design reminds of the fakes that are crushed to death in London every so often.(IMHO). I'm very disappointed with this new "design". Seems like aimlessly applying tried and true recent design elements. I ...
I think you are a bit too harsh but I can understand your feelings.
Obviously, it doesn't meet the standards of the watches you mention and it doesn't have this ambition. Thanks for your comments! Fx
I am afraid I have to agree
I was surprised either and thought it was not real., when I saw the first pics
