Roadster is a wristwatch (or watch range) by Cartier.

The watch series Roadster, put on the market in the year 2001, was inspired by the automotive world of the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the first sports car with racy curved bodies came on the market, the "roadster". The design of the Roadster watch takes on the silhouette of these vehicles. The magnifying lens of the date display is reminiscent of the air intake opening on the hood. The crown in grenades shape is reminiscent of the cooling fins of some vehicles. The screws located at the corners of the housing are a nod to the headlights of the vehicles.
