Measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.4mm thick, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier presents a round steel case distinguished by its signature fluted crown set with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects a silvered guilloché dial marked with Roman numerals and fitted with blued-steel sword-shaped hands, while a calendar aperture sits neatly at 3 o'clock.
Power comes from the automatic-winding Calibre 1847 MC, delivering hour, minute, second, and date functions with Swiss Made precision. The case offers water resistance to 3 bar (approximately 30 metres), making it a capable everyday companion.
The watch is worn on an interchangeable grained black alligator strap secured by a steel interchangeable folding buckle. It is presented complete with its original box and papers.
