England’s Kate Middleton has been seen wearing her Cartier Ballon Bleu timepiece during her 2014 trip to Australia. Kate isn’t the only person in the British royal family to wear Cartier.

Women in the royal family have been seen wearing Cartier Tank watches in the past–which have either square or rectangular cases and are considered a bit more classic. The Ballon Bleu is a relatively recent creation from Cartier coming in a round case with a loop over the crown to create a more rounded, curvy shape. Middleton here is wearing a traditional brand considered suitable for her station, but the specific model represents her personality and more youthful position in life.

It appears that Middleton is wearing the Ballon Bleu de Cartier Medium sized watches with the Swiss quartz movement. Cartier produces the Ballon Bleu in a range of sizes and with different movements (including both quartz and mechanical versions). The Ballon Bleu Medium (ref. W69011Z4) is in this instance seen in steel and is sized at 36.6mm wide. That is just a touch larger than the size of the iconic Rolex Datejust. A generation ago, 36mm wide was the size of a men’s watch, but today 36mm wide watches are typically worn by women, as men tend to wear larger watches, sized at 40mm and above.

The particular Ballon Bleu de Cartier model she is wearing is a modest model in in the collection. It comes without any diamonds and the quartz movement is priced less than the automatic mechanical models. This is probably the correct decision as Kate tends not to be flashy in how she dresses, and yet the elegant timelessness of the watch and brand does suit her style overall.
