• Size Options: 28 mm / 33 mm / 36 mm

The PC23092700415 variant stands out with its 18K rose-gold tone bezel, meticulously hand-polished and set with VVS-grade 5A cubic zirconia stones, achieving a sparkle and depth remarkably close to authentic factory diamonds.

2. Case & Bezel Construction

AF Factory’s engineers replicate the genuine Cartier case curvature with 316L stainless steel, blending brushed and polished finishes with precision CNC machining. The bezel’s warm rose hue is achieved through ion plating (PVD) — a process that ensures durability, anti-fade longevity, and a genuine metallic tone.

• Material: 316L Stainless Steel + PVD Rose Gold Bezel

• Crystal: Domed Sapphire (Anti-reflective, Scratch-resistant)

• Crown: Blue Spinel Cabochon (Hand-polished)

• Water Resistance: 30m Tested

• Bezel: 36 Hand-set VVS Zirconia Stones

Every diamond is positioned under a microscope at a 0.02 mm tolerance, following Cartier’s symmetrical setting technique.

3. Dial Detailing & Authentic Proportion

The silver opaline dial uses AF Factory’s latest multi-layer electroplating process, giving it a crisp, satin sheen under both natural and artificial light. The Roman numerals and railway minute track are printed using UV-cured enamel, providing a raised texture identical to the Swiss original.

AF Factory achieves 99% font accuracy, ensuring the “CARTIER” lettering inside the “VII” numeral — a signature mark on authentic pieces — appears clean and sharp.

4. Movement Comparison

The Miyota 9015 movement, re-decorated by AF Factory, visually and functionally mirrors the Cartier Cal. 049 (ETA 2892-A2 base). It runs smoothly with a 28,800 vph frequency and a 42-hour power reserve.

• Beat Rate: 28,800 vph

• Power Reserve: 42 hours

• Accuracy: ±6 sec/day

• Rotor Engraving: “CARTIER” and Geneva striping

This ensures both visual precision and mechanical stability suitable for long-term daily use.

5. Bracelet & Comfort

The stainless-steel bracelet features alternating satin and mirror polish, maintaining Cartier’s signature contrast. The butterfly clasp closes with a satisfying click and has engraved “CARTIER” branding identical in font and spacing to the authentic model.

• Bracelet Type: Full Steel with Dual-Finish Links

• Clasp: Folding Butterfly Clasp

• Weight: 135–145 g (depends on case size)

Each link undergoes three-stage finishing and ultrasonic cleaning for an ultra-smooth wrist feel.
