Cartier

Roadster

WSRD002038.7mmautomatic$10,200 list priceAnnounced April 2026

Cartier's revival of its automotive-themed tonneau Roadster after a 14-year absence (2002-2012 originally), with a slimmer, sharper case, the signature date magnifier, a new shorter-link bracelet and QuickSwitch straps. This Large steel reference has a white dial with blue Roman numerals; reviewers argued over whether the refinement kept the original's character.

Creator Consensus

Creator Consensus

Positive

5 reviews: 4 positive, 0 mixed, 1 negative. 1 of 5 recommend it.

Most reviewers see this as a thoughtful refinement that keeps the original's character. They highlight the crown now tucked neatly into the case, the stamped dial's genuine depth, a sculpted underside that sits low and comfortably, and cleaner bracelet links. Some also welcome the added lume and the improved water resistance, though a couple find the butterfly clasp dated and hard to fine-tune.

Where they differ. One reviewer finds the case bulky and feels the redesign strays too far from the Cartier family. The same reviewer finds the movement specifications underwhelming and older references better value, while a couple of others call the movement upgrade a meaningful step forward.

Cartier's New Roadster is a Failure

Video, 14 minHands-on reviewMay 2026

Very negativeDoes not recommend

The reviewer dislikes the new Roadster, mainly for its turtle-shell case shape and repurposed design cues. They admire the layered case-flank finishing, bracelet links, in-house movement and clasp, but see no reason to buy it over the cheaper older generation.
