The Pasha de Cartier 35mm is a round-case icon built from details you rarely see together: a screw-down crown cap on a chain, a dial laid out on a square grid, and a profile that sits between a dress watch and a sport watch. This replica version in the 35mm size is for buyers who want that unmistakable silhouette in a mid-size format instead of the larger 41mm model. It tucks under a cuff, reads clearly at a glance, and carries far more presence than its price suggests.

Materials and Specifications
The case and screw-down cap are machined from 316L stainless steel, then hand-polished so the bezel catches light while the case flanks stay satin. The dial is a layered print on a matte base, with applied numeral markers that sit slightly above the surface and a graduated railway track running the full circumference. Inside, the automatic movement is regulated for steady daily timekeeping and holds a power reserve of around 40 hours when worn regularly. The crystal is a flat sapphire with a subtle interior coating, and the case back is engraved and screwed down rather than pressed, which helps keep dust and moisture out.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed in a protective travel pouch and shipped with tracking, typically within a few business days of confirmation. If the watch arrives with a fault, a sizing issue, or a defect that is not described on this page, return it in unworn condition within the stated window for a replacement or a refund. Contact support before sending anything back so the return is logged correctly.
What wrist size does a 35mm Pasha suit?
A 35mm case wears well on wrists from roughly 15cm to 18cm, and its short lugs mean it sits flat rather than overhanging. Larger wrists can still wear it, but it reads as a classic, understated size rather than a statement piece.
Is the crown cap functional or decorative?
It is functional. The cap unscrews to expose the winding crown underneath, so you can set the time and date normally, then screw the cap back down and let the chain hang as intended.
How close is it to the original design?
The proportions, dial grid, chained crown cap, and strap hardware follow the original closely, though minute finishing details and movement decoration will differ from the genuine piece. Judge it as a well-built homage, not a one-to-one copy.
