🕰️ Santos de Cartier Medium Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold Bracelet/Strap Watch
Discover timeless refinement with the Santos de Cartier Medium Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold Watch, a harmonious blend of Cartier’s rich heritage and contemporary elegance. Originally conceived in 1904 for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, this legendary timepiece has become an enduring symbol of innovation and luxury in fine watchmaking.
This medium-sized model features a sleek 35.1 mm x 41.9 mm stainless steel case, accentuated by an elegant 18ct yellow gold bezel adorned with Cartier’s iconic exposed screws. Its silvered opaline dial, styled with bold black Roman numerals and a rail-track minute scale, evokes the Art Deco charm of early 20th-century Paris. Blued-steel sword-shaped hands glide smoothly across the dial, ensuring legibility and classic sophistication.
Powered by the Cartier 1847 MC self-winding mechanical movement, this timepiece delivers precision, reliability, and a 42-hour power reserve, ideal for daily wear. The seven-sided crown set with a blue synthetic spinel adds a touch of regal character.
Featuring Cartier’s innovative QuickSwitch™ system, you can easily switch between the steel & yellow gold bracelet with SmartLink™ self-adjustment, or the included brown calfskin leather strap with folding buckle, allowing seamless versatility from boardroom to weekend.
Water-resistant to 100 meters, and backed by an 8-year Cartier International Warranty, this Santos model is a refined companion for any occasion—whether you’re dressing for a formal event or embracing casual elegance.
