In 1904, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont approached his longtime friend Louis Cartier to complain of being unable to read the time on his pocket watch whilst flying. Together they embraced the challenge and designed the Cartier Santos, often thought of as the “worlds first ever wristwatch”. The Santos timepiece challenges mainstream design, thanks to its unorthodox square shape, exposed screws and practical feeling. Over the course of a century, countless reinterpretations of this timepiece have been spotted on the world’s most famous wrists, including the Santos-Dumont and Santos de Moiselle ladies model.
This Santos de Cartier medium watch features a beautiful silvered opaline roman dial, displaying blue sword shaped hands with sapphire crystal. With a 18ct rose gold bezel and rose gold 7-sided crown set with faceted sapphire. Powered by mechanical movement with automatic winding. The 18ct rose gold bracelet includes the "SmartLink" adjustment system, a second bracelet in alligator skin, with interchangeable 18ct rose gold buckle. Both bracelets are fitted with QuickSwitch interchangeability system. This timepiece is water resistant up to 10 bar (approx. 100meters/100 feet).
Power reserve: 40 hours.
Width: 35.1mm.
Thickness: 8.83mm.
