Cartier EWC Wristwatch – Steel Case with Patina Dial

This exceptional Cartier EWC wristwatch is a highly evocative example of early mid-century watchmaking, produced through Cartier’s collaboration with European Watch & Co. and distinguished by a remarkable, naturally aged dial. Crafted in a steel case, this watch reflects a more utilitarian yet deeply elegant expression of Cartier’s design language during the late 1930s–1940s period.

The watch features a spectacular Cartier-signed patina dial, where decades of aging have created rich tonal variation and depth that cannot be replicated. The applied numerals, subsidiary seconds register, and classic layout remain highly legible, while the patina adds unique character and historical presence, making each glance at the dial feel distinctive.

Measuring approximately 31 mm, the case offers balanced vintage proportions that sit comfortably on the wrist. Steel-cased Cartier EWC watches from this era are especially appealing to collectors, as they combine understated robustness with refined dial execution and historical importance.

Produced during a formative period of Cartier’s wristwatch production, this timepiece represents a chapter when the maison relied on elite Swiss partners to deliver high-quality movements housed within timeless designs. The watch has been carefully inspected and authenticated, preserving its originality and period integrity. It is offered as a genuine vintage Cartier timepiece, curated by Gallery Suez, a trusted vintage watch boutique based in Antwerp, Belgium.
