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 Galbee and Santos de Moiselle ladies model.
The Santos-Dumont de Cartier watch celebrates the traditional Santos de Cartier style with contemporary updates including alligator leather straps, lacquer dials and a quartet of metal options including stainless steel, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.
With over a century of expertise, the Cartier Santos model is no average watch. With plenty of style in the unique steel case and classic roman numeral markers, this timepiece injects chic into even the blandest of days. The silvered opaline roman numeral dial features a handy date window at the 6 o'clock position. Powered by an automatic movement, a Cartier Santos never fails to delight. It's modest appearance and steel bracelet makes for the ultimate timepiece. This model also comes with a calfskin bracelet with an interchangeable steel folding buckle, both bracelets are fitted with QuickSwitch interchangeability system. This watch has a power reserve of 40 hours.
Case thickness: 9.38mm.
Case width: 39.8mm.
