Pasha Seatimer

The Cartier Pasha Seatimer brings a distinctive twist to the Pasha lineage, blending the model’s 1980s sport-luxury roots with the practical features of a modern diver. Originally designed to meet the needs of a client seeking a water-resistant watch, the Pasha’s iconic screw-down crown cap and bold dial remain, but the Seatimer variant adds a unidirectional bezel and increased water resistance, making it a compelling choice for those wanting both elegance and utility in a single package.

Key references like the 2790 (automatic, date at 4:30, black rubber bezel) and 2791 (chronograph version) are the most sought-after, with subtle differences in bezel material, bracelet configuration, and dial details driving price variation. Collectors often favor the automatic Cartier 049 movement for its reliability and ease of service. The 40.5mm case size offers substantial wrist presence without being overbearing, and the integrated rubber and steel bracelet is unique to the Seatimer line.

When comparing listings, check for original bracelet links and the distinctive screw-down crown cover with its attached chain, as replacements affect value. Early models with the full luminous Arabic numerals tend to command a premium over later, more subdued dial updates. The Seatimer is less frequently seen than other Pasha models, so examples in excellent condition, with box and papers, are especially desirable for buyers looking to add a versatile, water-ready Cartier to their collection.
