Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C Big Date 35mm Ref 2475? A: It’s a Swiss‑made stainless steel wristwatch from Cartier’s Pasha C line featuring a 35mm case, a white dial, and an oversized two‑disc date display (“Big Date”). This example is automatic and comes as a full set with original accessories.
Q: What movement does it use? A: The Pasha C Big Date is powered by a Swiss automatic (self‑winding) movement. Automatic movements wind from wrist motion; if the watch stops, a short manual wind will restart it. We can share detailed movement information for this specific piece on request.
Q: How do I set the time and big date safely? A: Unscrew the crown cap anti‑clockwise to access the crown. Position 1: wind (about 20–30 turns if stopped). Position 2: quickset the date (if applicable). Position 3: set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown in and screw the cap down firmly.
Q: What is the “Big Date” and how is it read? A: A Big Date uses two separate date discs to display larger, more legible digits. Read it as a standard date (e.g., “25”). The change typically occurs around midnight; if you set the date near the changeover period, move the hands away from midnight first.
Q: Is it water‑resistant, and can I swim with it? A: While the Pasha line was designed with water resistance in mind, vintage watches cannot be guaranteed water‑tight without recent servicing and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or submersion. Always ensure the crown cap is fully screwed down before any exposure to moisture.
Q: What is the crown cap and how do I use it? A: The Pasha’s signature screw‑down crown cap protects the crown and helps water resistance. To set or wind the watch, unscrew the cap anti‑clockwise, pull the crown to the needed position, then push it back and screw the cap down snugly—do not overtighten.
Q: Will the 35mm size suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: 35mm offers a refined, mid‑size presence that suits many small to medium wrists and wears well unisex depending on style preference. This bracelet is currently sized to approximately a 17cm wrist; we can adjust sizing and advise on fit.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized or replaced with a strap? A: Yes—bracelets can be adjusted, and additional links can often be sourced (subject to availability and possible cost). Many owners also enjoy the Pasha C on leather straps; we can advise on compatible options.
Q: Does this model have a sapphire crystal? A: Most Pasha C watches feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact piece, please contact us.
Q: What service interval and care should I expect? A: Automatic watches typically benefit from servicing every 5–10 years, depending on use and water‑resistance needs. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and chemicals, and wipe it with a soft microfibre cloth. If you notice running fast/slow or any condensation, have it inspected promptly.
Q: What is included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This example is a full set: box, booklet and certificate are included (see Accessories). A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally authenticates every item. Our watches come with a 12‑month mechanical guarantee and secure, insured delivery.
