Searching for the perfect luxury watch can almost seem like an impossible mission at times.  The men’s Cartier Roadster Chronograph extra large steel watch is a classic time piece sure to make any man arrive on time in style.

This classic design was inspired by the dashboard of racing cars from the 1950’s and 1960’s.  This extra large model is worn best on men with large wrists.  It tends to hang loose on men with smaller wrists.  The steel case encompasses the sapphire crystal.  The face is rhodium plated with a silver sun-ray dial.  This is a pretty large watch with dimensions of 47.6 x 42.8 mm.  The watch contains special luminescent sword-shaped black oxidised steel hands that point to roman numerals.  This classic styled roadster contains mechanical movement with automatic winding and a lock-down crown.  The watch also contains a special feature for those who maybe can’t read smaller numbers too well, a small section of the sapphire crystal is magnified to read the date displayed on the watch a littler easier.  The chronograph feature of this watch allows its owner to measure seconds, minutes, and hours separately.  The watch comes with a leather band and a stainless steel bracelet, giving its owner two options for appearance and style.  At first, the steel double adjustable deployant buckle-like clasp can seem a little tricky at first.  Once you figure out how to open it though, you’ll never forget how to.  This watch is perfect for water sports and cruises because it can go as deep as 330 feet or 100 meters of water.  It’s best to purchase this watch from an authorized Cartier dealer since there are so many counterfeit Roadsters distributed on the internet.  This watch retails at $10,300.  The Roadster will provide you with many years of enjoyment, so it’s well worth the price.  If you’re looking for more of a luxurious Roadster, there’s the two-toned 18 carat gold and stainless steel Roadster or an all 18 carat bracelet and case Roadster.
