About the Cartier 049

The 2892 is the thin automatic the 2892 piece describes, and Cartier's version is finished and regulated by Cartier at 25.6 mm across and 3.6 mm high, with 21 jewels, a 42-hour reserve and a beat of 28,800 vph. It was the movement of most of Cartier's round and rectangular automatics before the in-house calibers of 2010 onward.

In the library it powers 13 Ballon Bleu references at 42.1 mm and 8 Tank references, the Anglaise at 29.8 mm and 31 mm and the Must XL, in steel, yellow gold and two-tone.

The 049 No Date is the same movement without its calendar in the 36 mm Ballon Bleu, and the 1904-PS MC the in-house movement that succeeded it.
