Overview

Introduced in 1912, the Tortue collection showcases Cartier's innovative approach to watchmaking, departing from traditional round cases to embrace the tortoise-inspired tonneau shape. The WA5048W8 model epitomizes this design philosophy, featuring a 28.5mm 18k yellow gold case adorned with a diamond-set bezel. The silvered dial, embellished with Roman numerals and blued steel hands, exudes timeless sophistication.

Design and Craftsmanship

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the watch's 18k yellow gold case is complemented by a matching bracelet, creating a harmonious blend of durability and elegance. The diamond-set bezel adds a touch of opulence, while the silvered dial features Roman numeral hour markers and blued steel sword-shaped hands, ensuring visibility even in low-light environments.

Movement and Performance

At the heart of this timepiece lies an automatic movement, ensuring precise timekeeping and reliability. The self-winding mechanism harnesses the wearer's natural motion to maintain optimal performance, eliminating the need for manual winding.

Features and Complications

Designed for both functionality and style, the watch includes hour and minute hands, providing essential timekeeping features. The sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches, maintaining clarity over time. With a water resistance of up to 30 meters (100 feet), the watch offers resilience against everyday splashes and brief immersions.
