Our take on the Cartier Ballon Bleu De 18ct Brilliant-Cut Watch

The Ballon Bleu is Cartier's rounded dress watch, and this version pairs an 18ct rose gold case with a brilliant-cut diamond bezel, a silver Roman-numeral dial and a black leather strap. The sapphire crystal, automatic movement and 37-hour power reserve put it in proper fine-watch territory, while the 30m water resistance is splash-only. It suits a woman who wants a recognisable luxury watch for dressing up rather than a daily beater. Against the plain steel Ballon Bleu it is heavier and far more formal; against diamond-set rivals from other houses it is the softer, more rounded design, and owners tend to praise the comfort and the dial legibility more than the movement's finishing.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Ballon Bleu line consistently praise the rounded case, the legibility of the Roman-numeral dial and how comfortable it sits on the wrist. Diamond-set and gold versions draw compliments on looks, but some note the leather strap and modest water resistance limit everyday use.

What people mention
  • Case designPraisedOwners like the rounded Ballon Bleu case and say it looks unlike other dress watches.
  • ComfortPraisedWearers report it sits comfortably on the wrist, including on smaller wrists.
  • LegibilityPraisedThe silver dial with Roman numerals is described as easy to read.
  • Strap wearCriticisedThe leather strap is said to wear and need replacing sooner than a metal bracelet.
  • Water resistanceCriticisedThe 30m rating is seen as too low for swimming or regular water contact.

Questions and answers

Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
It can be worn daily, but the leather strap and 30m water resistance make it better suited to office and evening wear. Take it off before swimming, showering or washing up.
Does it need winding if I don't wear it every day?
Yes. The automatic movement has a 37-hour power reserve, so it stops after about a day and a half off the wrist. A watch winder or a quick hand-wind keeps it running.
How does it compare with the steel Ballon Bleu?
The steel version is lighter, cheaper to service and more casual. This rose gold diamond model is heavier, more formal and far more of a statement piece.
Is the strap easy to change?
It uses a standard buckle and spring bars, so a jeweller can swap it, but Cartier's curved lugs mean fitting a third-party strap takes care.
Can it be worn in the shower or pool?
No. The 30m rating covers splashes and rain only, not swimming or immersion.
What is in the box?
Expect the watch on its leather strap, the presentation box and Cartier's paperwork. Confirm the exact contents with the seller, since pre-owned examples may lack the full set.
Where is the Cartier Ballon Bleu De 18ct Brilliant-Cut Watch cheapest?
