Swiss made replica Cartier watches introduced the latest version of the time-only Tortue at Watches and Wonders this year. Three versions were available. The first was a yellow gold model limited to 200 pieces. The second was platinum with applied platinum numerals and limited to 200 pieces. The third, also platinum, featured a diamond-paved case. This final version was limited to 50 pieces.
Regardless of the execution, the case measures 32.9mm wide by 41.1mm long (lugs included). That sounds diminutive, but it has plenty of wrist presence thanks to the tortoise-inspired shape. Notably, the case is also only 7.2mm thick. Handling the Tortue reminded me that we see too few thin UK luxury fake watches nowadays. The slimness adds so much elegance and comfort.

Inside ticks the hand-wound caliber 430 MC based on the Piaget caliber 430P. This movement is barely 2mm thick and beats at a 21,600vph frequency. It offers a power reserve of 38 hours. Accuracy is not specified, but who cares if the watch doesn’t even have a seconds hand? I applaud that high quality fake Cartier prioritized thinness over specs like power reserve and accuracy. The result stands out in a sea of amazingly specced but mediocre-looking watches.
Dial options
Most earlier UK best replica Cartier Tortue models had guilloché dials. You may remember the signature vintage flower rosette in the center. These new versions are a bit more minimalist. The dials are opaline, which is an ultra-finely grained media-blasted texture.
This looks particularly great on the 18K yellow gold version, which would be my pick. The dial is pale gold, and the numerals are painted stark, glossy black. This high-contrast combination is more classical than the applied numerals on the platinum models.
Another attractive element is the Breguet-style handset. Unlike most earlier shop replica Cartier Tortue models, it isn’t blued but executed using the same material as the case. Combined with the opaline dial, this creates a more subdued and subtle aesthetic than earlier versions. Other changes, such as the minute track moving to the dial’s perimeter, clean up the design.

Wearing the 1:1 Wholesale Replica Cartier Tortue Hours/Minutes
It took my mind a second to adjust to the cheap super clone Cartier Tortue when I strapped it on. The Monopoussoir, due to its meatier proportions, is an easier transition from the sportier watches I typically wear. The Hours/Minutes is an “old-world watch” if that makes sense. It does not play by the rules of modern watches. Rather, it is small, flat, and elegant. It takes confidence to wear it, which only makes it cooler in my eyes.
Overall, I found it to be a lovely object to handle. Something is jarring about UK online copy watches that is so distinctly vintage in proportions yet feels like a solid block of precious metal. It looks dainty, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way. This disconnect between senses is very appealing.
