Cartier Santos Watch - Pre-Owned

Product Description

First designed in 1904 the Cartier Santos became one of the world’s first pilot wrist watches. For a pilot the difficulty of checking a pocket watch became apparent when controlling an aircraft, so Louis Cartier created the Santos for his aviator friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont. 1978 saw the introduction of the more affordable steel/gold models with the captivating, miniature screw detailing, fast becoming the must have watch of the time. This stainless-steel model has the classic square, cream dial, with prominent blue roman Numeral hour markers & matching blue sword hands. The date is displayed at the 6 o’clock position, as not to interfere with the well-thought-out design of this practical, timeless classic. The smooth bezel, with the iconic exposed screw heads surrounds & seamlessly connects you to the robust, single linked bracelet. Image shown is actual timepiece.
