Time will not speed up if you are wearing Cartier’s Roadster W62041V3 men’s watch, but you may look a little faster. Inspired by race cars of the 1950’s and 60’s, the Roadster W62041V3 is at once original, sleek and bubbly. It maintains the precision and style that has been a mainstay of Cartier products for more than 150 years, while adding the flair reminiscent of those old iconic autos.

The Cartier Roadster W62041V3 large model men’s watch comes in a stainless steel case. The dial face has a glossy black background with white Roman numerals that are slightly off-kilter, as is Cartier’s style. The placement of the hour markers leave an oval in the center that evokes the dashboard gauges of the classic cars, as does the magnified calendar window at 3 o’clock. All this is covered by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal window. The watch has the automatic winding Cartier caliber 3110 mechanical movement mechanism and it is water resistant up to 330 feet. It comes with two interchangeable straps that can be switched to make the timepiece fit different occasions, from casual to formal.

The Cartier Roadster W62041V3 men’s watch retails for $6,050 at the Cartier website, Cartier boutique stores and authorized Cartier sellers.
