Its link to Alberto Santos-Dumont, iconic square screw-set case, and mix of stainless steel, yellow gold, and leather give it a look and history that very few watches can match. A strong fit for someone who values iconic design and heritage, it adds a distinctive two-tone Santos look with the added warmth and versatility of a brown leather strap.
Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. White dial is especially beautiful because the crisp Roman numerals and blued hands create a clean and elegant contrast. Yellow gold bezel stands out with its polished shine, giving the square case a rich and refined look. Brown leather strap adds warmth and softness, bringing a classic touch that pairs beautifully with the two-tone case.
Functions include hours, minutes, and seconds. Turning the crown while it is pushed in winds the watch. Pull out crown on the right side of the watch quick sets the minute, and second hands.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with warranty card, Cartier manual, care booklet, Cartier pusher tool, and Cartier bracelet.
A square case, exposed bezel screws, Roman numerals, and blued hands create a design language that is instantly recognizable and unlike most round dress watches. Its aviation heritage makes it worth considering for a collection that needs a piece with both strong identity and lasting importance.
