Santos de Cartier Large Skeleton/Green Dial Men’s Watch
Bold. Architectural. Iconic. The Santos de Cartier Large Skeleton/Green Dial Men’s Watch redefines the limits of haute horlogerie with a striking display of open-worked precision and refined luxury. This timepiece captures the essence of Cartier’s daring innovation while paying homage to the pioneering spirit of aviation legend Alberto Santos-Dumont, for whom the original Santos watch was created in 1904.
At the heart of this large 39.8 mm stainless steel case lies the manual-winding Cartier Calibre 9611 MC, a skeletonized movement that is both technically masterful and visually captivating. The design showcases green lacquered bridges, shaped into oversized Roman numerals — a signature of the Santos line — which appear to float within the case, suspended in an architectural interplay of light, shadow, and transparency.
The smoky green color scheme is both elegant and daring, lending the watch a bold personality while maintaining an air of sophistication. Its meticulously polished and brushed surfaces reflect Cartier’s dedication to fine watchmaking and aesthetic harmony. The use of sapphire crystal on both the front and back allows full appreciation of the movement’s intricacy from every angle.
Function meets flexibility with the inclusion of Cartier’s patented QuickSwitch system, enabling seamless interchange between the stainless steel bracelet and green alligator leather strap — both included. Whether worn for business, evening, or leisure, this watch transitions effortlessly between styles and occasions.
Crafted in Switzerland and water-resistant up to 100 meters, this timepiece is not just a showcase of artistry but also a robust companion for everyday wear. The 7-sided crown set with a faceted blue synthetic spinel adds the final Cartier touch of elegance.
