The replica Pasha Cartier 2020 is a copy of the watch Cartier relaunched in 2020, built in 41mm and 35mm cases with a screw-down crown cap, a small chain, and a textured dial. Replica versions run from about $120 quartz models to $450 super clones with decorated clone 1847 MC automatic movements. The best copies match the case proportions and the crown assembly, which is where cheap versions fail.
What changed when Cartier relaunched the Pasha in 2020?
Cartier brought the Pasha name back in 2020 after retiring most of the line years earlier. The new Pasha de Cartier kept the round case and the crown cap while adding a QuickSwitch strap release and a SmartLink bracelet sizing system. Cartier also fitted its in-house 1847 MC automatic movement, rated for roughly 42 hours of power reserve.
The 41mm model measures about 9.55mm thick and the 35mm sits near 9.4mm, so both sit flat on the wrist. That slim profile is hard for replica makers to copy, and it is a fast way to judge quality.
Which replica Pasha Cartier 2020 versions are worth considering?
- Mid-tier automatic: 41mm steel case, Asian 2824 or Miyota 9015 inside, sapphire crystal, $180 to $260.
- High-end clone: decorated clone 1847 MC or Swiss ETA 2824, correct dial texture, working date, $280 to $420.
- 35mm quartz: closest to the smaller genuine sizing, thin case, but the second hand ticks, $120 to $180.
- Chronograph and skeleton: fewer accurate options, subdial spacing is hard to fake, $250 to $450.
How do you check the crown cap and chain on a replica?
On the genuine Pasha, the crown cap is a hinged cover that protects the crown, and a small chain ties that cover to a lug fitting. On replicas, the cover often swings loose, the chain is too stiff or too long, and the cabochon is glass instead of synthetic spinel. Ask for a side photo of the chain attachment before you buy.
What dial details separate a good copy from a bad one?
The 2020 Pasha dial carries a flinqué finish with fine concentric texture that catches light in rings. Cheap replicas print a flat pattern or use a plain sunray finish that looks nothing like it. On good copies the printed CARTIER text is crisp, evenly spaced, and centered above the 6 o'clock position.
Date windows sit at 3 o'clock on the 41mm and 35mm three-hand models. Look for a centered date, even font weight, and no white gap around the aperture.
Is the QuickSwitch strap system functional on replicas?
Usually not. Most replica Pasha 2020 watches ship with a standard spring bar and a fixed look-alike button, so you cannot swap straps without tools. A few high-end sellers fit a working quick-release system, and they normally state that in the listing.
What should you expect for water resistance?
Genuine Pasha de Cartier watches are rated to 100m. Replicas are rarely pressure tested and most survive hand washing at best. Treat any replica as splash resistant, and do not swim or shower with one.
What is a fair price for a replica Pasha Cartier 2020?
Expect to pay $120 to $200 for a basic quartz or entry automatic, $200 to $300 for a solid mid-tier automatic with a sapphire crystal, and $300 to $450 for the best clones with decorated movements. Spending above $500 rarely buys better accuracy, only better packaging.
