FORM AND ELEGANCE
First crafted in 1904, the Santos de Cartier collection honours Alberto Santos-Dumont, the visionary aviator behind the original inspiration.
With its focus on form, minimalist elegance, precise proportions, and refined detail, the collection is defined by its square case, softened by rounded corners and accented with exposed screws for a bold, functional aesthetic.
Although the collection has been updated over the years, it retains the key elements that make it instantly recognisable to aviation enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
BOLD AND UNCOMPROMISING
This timepiece is housed in a rounded square steel case with visible screws and a distinctive 7-sided crown featuring a striking faceted blue spinel.
Rich and inviting, the deep blue sunray dial exudes sophistication, complemented by steel Roman numerals, a date display at 6 o’clock, and sword-shaped steel hands.
Complete with two interchangeable straps fitted with the QuickSwitch system- one in blue alligator leather and the other in polished steel – this watch can be easily customised to reflect your personal sense of style.
Water resistant to 10 bar (100 metres) and powered by the calibre 1847 MC self-winding mechanical movement, this watch balances impressive functionality with timeless design.
