Cartier Pasha Diver

There’s nothing like a compelling origin story. That of the Pasha is one such tale!  While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.  The Pasha is a fine example. Launched in 1985, it was supposedly inspired by the lines of a one-off commission from 1932 for the Pasha of Marrakesh that featured a screw-down, waterproof housing over the crown. None other than famed watch designer Gérald Genta was the one who revived the design in the 1980s, launching yet another winning collection for the famed Parisian jeweler and watchmaker.  This particular Pasha, a diver variant, dates to circa the late 1990s and features a 38.5mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a sapphire cabochon crown protector, a unidirectional stainless steel timing bezel, and a textured grey Tritium dial with a matching kite handset. Powered by an automatic-winding movement, it comes paired to a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp. Everyone knows the Tank. This is your chance to own its equally compelling sibling — with an awesome sporting twist on it!
