The Calibre de Cartier, a masculine model with a strong, bold appeal launched by Cartier in 2010, has been revamped. It is now equipped with a new movement, the brand's first manufacture automatic chronograph, based on the 1904 calibre. It features column-wheel chronograph functions, vertical coupling and a double barrel. The characteristic dial with two-part hour markers (Roman above, bar below) leaves room for additional counters at 3 and 9 o'clock.
