Review of the Cartier Pasha de Cartier 41mm Self-winding Watch Replica

Review of the Cartier Pasha de Cartier 41mm Self-winding Watch Replica

Part of Cartier's strategy was to suspend the production of watches while they were still popular, until they were reintroduced in a new form a few years later. The Pasha is Cartier's latest design that brings a freshness to the watch. Today, I take a look at the Cartier "Pasha de Cartier" 41mm self-winding watch replica WSPA0009, a new version for 2020.

Admittedly, the Pasha replica is not for everyone. It's always been one of the "soft" luxury sports watches in terms of masculinity. It may be a little more masculine than the Ballon Bleu, but the Pasha represents a more graceful side of men's sports watch design, but it's not boring either. I think the Pasha brings many of the flavors favored by contemporary men, the "bar-style" lugs that are often found on women's watches today. That said, when I wear the Cartier Pasha 41mm watch replica, I don't really consider it a men's watch.

The Case

At 41mm-wide, the Pasha copy watch wears nicely, but the lugs and relatively wide bezel makes the watch wear a bit on the small side. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters, which is worth mentioning because the entire design point of the watch is to evoke the look of early watch case water-resistance systems. Prior to the development of screw-down crowns, some watches used screw-down caps that created a seal around a crown. This was, no doubt, a concept borrowed from canteens, and when looked at on its side, the Cartier Pasha copy does look like a hip little flask.

In addition to the new 41mm-wide version of the Cartier Pasha replica, the brand also has a new 35mm-wide version for women. Most of the 41mm-wide models are in steel with a matching bracelet (and accompanying strap), but 18k yellow and rose gold models are also available (only on straps).

Cartier has taken this historic engineering element and made it into a design cue. It isn’t the only brand to do have done so, but Cartier has done it in the most luxurious sense. Note that the watch I am shooting here is a retail sample and thus it still has plastic protection on parts of the case and bracelet. The outer crown cap and the inner, smaller crown each have blue spinel cabochons. It just wouldn’t be a Cartier Pasha replica without that. For a sporty watch, the Pasha is actually quite thin. The 41mm-wide case is only 9.5mm-thick. It might not be a traditional diver’s watch in terms of performance, but it is thin enough to wear comfortably and out of the way, which is highly valued by a lot of wearers these days.

The Dial

While it isn’t to everyone’s taste, the Cartier Pasha replica dial is distinctive and effective. Clearly, Cartier had a template it needed to work with, so no one was expecting any novelty in the dial department. For that Cartier would point you in the direction of the above-mentioned skeletonized dial version of the Pasha since it does so in a way that is faithful to Pasha’s dial design DNA. The silvered dial has some light texturing on it in a guilloché machine-engraved style (though I am pretty sure the dials are stamped).

My favorite part of the Pasha dial is the aesthetic use of a square inside of a round case. The dial is circular but dominated by a strong square shape in the middle. This affects the design of the Pasha replica appreciably. I also like the design of the hour markers and the blued-colored hands, though it is hard to feel as though Cartier couldn’t have made the hands a bit longer/broader for good measure. Applied to the dial in order to make it feel less flat are hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. I like this effect but I’m not sure it was enough for the three-dimensional dial theme Cartier seems to have been going for.

The Movement

This more basic movement execution in the standard Pasha 41mm Automatic replica is the Cartier in-house-made caliber 1847 MC automatic, which is visible through the caseback and operates at 4Hz with about two days of power reserve. The Cartier Pasha replica case follows the lead Cartier set with the current generation Santos and includes its “QuickSwitch” bracelet attachment system. This allows the wearer to easily remove the bracelet ends and replace them with a strap — no tools required. The bracelet also has a “SmartLink” system that makes the bracelet very easy to adjust in size — again, something introduced with the new Santos.

Conclusion

The Cartier Pasha replica is an expressive men's timepiece with versatility and unique Cartier DNA, and anyone who doesn't like the Pasha can enjoy the many other men's options that Cartier offers. The WSPA0009 Cartier Pasha 41mm Automatic model will retail for $6,700.
