£3,900.00
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.
This timepiece is made in a 38mm x 27.5mm sizing, crafted from stainless steel and features an exquisite silvered satin-brushed sunray dial with roman numerals, blued-steel hands and sapphire crystal glass. Powered by a high autonomy quartz movement this model is presented on a sophisticated blue alligator leather strap with a steel ardillon buckle. Water resistant up to 30m/100feet.
Case thickness 7.3mm.
Model: WSSA0023.
