It is I suppose a model that blithely flies along just under the radar in the “must have” stakes and yet, for me personally, I think out of all Cartier models, is the one you would be a fool to pass up, given the opportunity to own it.
Quick looks
Just a quick look at any watch models that catch my eye.
Heavenly De Bethune
The movement is automatic (self winding), twin barrel with a 6 day reserve, with a special triple shock absorbing system
Interesting finds (1)
It has a German traditional style, this one more dress than military, luminous hands and applied markers and overall, for my taste, has a good look
Feice Bauhaus – Budget or Bargain?
But for Fiece, the clever idea of using the Bauhaus concept and promoting to the global market promoted with – Form, Function and a certain marketing seriousness, hasn’t hindered them in their mass market approach and by increasing the quality is a real bonus.

The square segment markers don’t seem to run in any identifiable order, though I suspect they should count 10 seconds in sequence, but they don’t – maybe a glitch just on this particular watch.
Day Date survivors?
A great feature of the Automatic is that a) it doesn’t have a battery, b) it doesn’t require a light source and c) setting Time Zones or Summer Times is a simple case of crown out, move hands, crown in – job done. No instruction booklets
