Born from one of the most storied chapters in early aviation, this reference carries forward the pioneering spirit that first placed a square watch on a pilot’s wrist. Featuring a crisp white dial framed by the unmistakable steel architecture of the Santos case, it embodies the perfect fusion of history and modern refinement.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Featuring a radiant white dial with elongated Roman numerals and blued sword hands, the watch presents a clean and architectural beauty that immediately draws the eye. Showcasing the square stainless-steel case with its gently curved edges, the profile reflects light with a refined interplay of brushed and polished surfaces. Highlighting the satin-brushed steel bracelet, its exposed screws and seamless articulation complete the design with a confident, unmistakably Santos character.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display. The crown on the right side of the watch quick set the minute hand and the date wheel. The bracelet utilizes Cartier’s QuickSwitch system, allowing effortless strap changes without tools.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with a watch pillow, warranty card, user manual, and extra leather strap.
Its aviation-born heritage lends a quiet confidence that feels both purposeful and refined. A timeless square-case silhouette and modern versatility come together to create a piece collectors reach for when they want history wrapped in everyday elegance.
