Cartier created a round wristwatch in 1943 for its collection - it was the beginning of the Pasha series. The design of the new watch catches the eye of the beholder with its elegant round case, luminous sword hands and a screw-down cap for the crown that is held by a small chain. The case is water resistant. Clearly distinguishable as a Cartier watch, the Pasha model is striking and stands out from the rest of the collection.
