Dressed in a green that glows at its heart and sinks to black at the edges, this Santos wears the shape of one of the very first pilot watches ever made, born in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos Dumont. Made for the collector who says more with a nod than a shout.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against the light, the sunray green dial melts from a bright middle to shadowy corners, like a fairway at dusk. Framed by mirror bright chamfers over soft brushed flanks, the steel case shifts between gloss and matte with every turn of the wrist. Wrapped around the wrist, the screw lined bracelet ties the look together and adjusts without a single tool.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Powered by the automatic caliber 1847 MC, it keeps about forty two hours of reserve and shrugs off water to one hundred meters. On the right sits a seven sided crown capped with a blue spinel, the one spark of color against all that green. Pull it to the first click to quick set the date, stopping on yesterday in the window at six. Pull to the second click, then walk the hands past midnight to today and on to the right time so nothing runs backward.

Comes as a complete set, double boxed with warranty card, alligator strap, and white hang tag.

Storied, hard to find, and unmistakably green, few watches whisper luxury like this one. Wear it once, and the rest of the collection fades into the background.
