Of course, the blue cabochon is present not only on the cap and chronograph pushers but also on the crown itself. To this can be added the rotating steel bezel with inclined design and engraved diver style markings. The 41mm steel case stands out with its “Vendome” strap/bracelet mounting system and the screwed crown cap. The characteristic feature of this watch is the round case. In an ultra short description, the Pasha de Cartier 41mm Chronograph is a 41mm steel case watch with a fluted crown cap, crown and push-pieces set with synthetic spinels, silvered flinqué dial, blued-steel diamond-shaped hands, steel bracelet with “SmartLink” adjustment system, second strap in dark grey alligator leather strap, interchangeable steel deployant buckle powered by the chronograph manufacture mechanical movement with automatic winding, Calibre 1904-CH MC. The model we see today bears all the known features, some with a bit o modern retouch. In the last 35 years, Pasha knew several complications (including perpetual calendar) and small design variations but all lead to what is now a set of iconic characteristics. In 1985, the Pasha was reborn in the design that is now familiar, under the assistance of the one and only Gerald Genta. Arrived in Cartier‘s “public” permanent collection in 1943. Pasha de Cartier is one of those pieces that made history, being loved equally by the occasional wearers and hard-core collectors equally. The Cartier Pasha de Cartier 41mm Chronograph was launched during Watches and Wonders 2021 and is here to stand out, while at the same time, respects the Cartier watchmaking tradition.

Adored by many, ranked at the icon status, the royal blood Pasha is presented today as a chronograph.
