Cartier Santos-Dumont de Cartier W2SA0036 Watch

Cartier is synonymous with enduring design, and the Santos-Dumont is one of the Maison’s most historically significant timepieces. Created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it was among the first wristwatches designed specifically to be worn on the wrist, establishing the distinctive geometric form that would become a defining signature of Cartier watchmaking. This large Santos-Dumont features a stainless steel case measuring 43.5mm x 31.4mm, framed by an 18ct yellow gold bezel and finished with a beaded crown set with a blue synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. The grey satin-brushed dial with sunray effect is complemented by golden Roman numerals and polished golden-finish sword-shaped hands, beneath a sapphire crystal. Powered by a quartz movement and presented on a grey alligator-skin strap with a steel ardillon buckle, the watch has a slim 7.3mm profile and is water-resistant to 30 metres. All Cartier watches come with a two-year international guarantee, which can be extended to eight years through Cartier Care, unlocking exclusive benefits and services.
