The Cartier Ceinture reference 78099 is a highly collectible, vintage time-piece first popularized during the 1970s. Inspired by the design of a traditional belt buckle ("ceinture" is French for belt), this geometric classic offers a distinct look separate from the ubiquitous Tank or Santos lines.

• Case Dimensions: 27mm x 27mm (referred to as the Large Model / GM size for this specific manual-winding reissue).

• Case Material: Solid 18k yellow gold with a double-stepped octagonal border and cut corners. 

• Winding Crown: Unique, flat octagonal crown slotted directly into the bezel. Unlike most Cartier models, it purposefully lacks a blue sapphire cabochon for a streamlined, minimalist profile. 

• Dial Details: Crisp white enamel dial decorated with black Roman numerals, a inner railroad minute track, and traditional blued-steel sword hands.

• The "Paris" Inscription: Highly prized by collectors, most well-preserved original dials feature the "PARIS" signature at the 6 o'clock mark rather than "Swiss Made," signifying it was originally retailed through the historic Paris flagship boutique.

• Movement: Powered by the thin, reliable Cartier Calibre 78-1 manual-winding mechanical movement.
