1904, Louis Cartier granted the wish of the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont: to be able to tell time while flying.
This model of the Santos de Cartier watch features a combination of steel and ADLC for its case and bezel, offering durability and a distinctive look. The watch’s automatic winding movement, powered by the 1847 MC caliber, ensures accurate timekeeping. The black dial and luminescent sword-shaped hands provide readability in various lighting conditions. The use of sapphire crystal adds scratch resistance to the watch face. The two interchangeable straps, one in rubber and the other in black alligator skin, offer versatility in styling. The “QuickSwitch” system makes it easy to switch between the two straps, and the steel folding buckle ensures secure fastening. With a water resistance of up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), the watch is suitable for water-related activities.
