One important thing to note with the Cartier Drive watch replica is that it’s one of the rare recent watches of the brand to be entirely dedicated to men.

As being a watch entirely dedicated to men, the Old Maison had the opportunity to play on different concepts than the usual jewelry and Art-Deco themes. No worries to have however, as the Drive is perfectly in line with Cartier’s basics: Roman numerals, blued hands, guilloché dial, sapphire on the crown… But the inspiration here is based on vintage cars, with a dial design based on radiator grills and a crown looking like a bolt. It’s no easy to define it, but the watch overall has this sort of gentleman driver feels, being both casual, just a bit sporty and, overall, extremely elegant and refined. The second good point in this new Cartier Drive comes from the inspirations.
And that’s not a detail. For long, Cartier has designed Cartier Drive copy watches that could be worn by both men and ladies, like for instance the different editions of the Tank, the Ballon Bleu (which exists in versions of 26mm, 33mm, 36mm and 42mm), the Santos 100 or the recent Clé (which has been introduced straight away in 31mm, 35mm and 40mm). To the exception of the Calibre, the sports watch of the brand, most Cartier timepieces are unisex in the design (not in the sizes). And in terms of elegant, classical watches, this Cartier Drive is certainly the only one to be for men only.
The face of the Cartier Drive is, on its side, extremely classical to the production of the Old Maison. That’s where Cartier has been right with this watch: bringing some fresh air in the shapes, inspirations and dimensions, without shockingly change the DNA. So we find back the dial with several distinct areas: a central guilloché part with concentric waves, a small second with circular pattern, a minute track surrounding these guilloché areas and finally, on the periphery, the hours indicated by strong Roman numerals – with of course, the name Cartier printed in the 7 numeral. Another usual feature are the classical sword hands, in blued steel, for the hours, minutes and small second. Finally, the date is indicated at 3.
At the moment of its launch, the Cartier Drive was already an entire collection, with several metals (steel or gold), several dial colors (white, black and grey), different possible display and complications (including a dual time and a tourbillon). However, the most coveted will be this 3-hand edition, with small second, in steel (for obvious price reasons, as starting at 6,000 Euros – not bad, right), even if too us, the Drive deserves to be seen in 18k pink gold, as it gains a lot in elegance and refinement.

On the other hand, it’s good to see Cartier back on the man’s market, with a watch that is elegant, restrained and not posh. The shape of the Drive is interesting and extremely classical at the same time. Cartier knew how to shape timepieces and, with this Drive, they demonstrate it again. We tend to prefer the 18k pink gold version for its warmer look, a bit more vintage Of course, we could easily argue that the Drive is not spectacular or especially new. Indeed, it features many of the attributes that we’re used to at luxury fake Cartier watch(the dial is a perfect example of the brand’s DNA).
