Insider: Santos de Cartier Dual Time. One of the Best Looking Santos Out There.
The Santos de Cartier collection received a major facelift in 2018, and since then the brand has continued to include new models and new complications within this collection. The Santos de Cartier holds a significant place in the brand's history as one of the earliest wristwatches designed for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. This timepiece features a distinctive square case with rounded corners, visible screws on the bezel, and a clean, minimalistic dial.
Over the years, the collection has expanded to include various sizes, materials, and complications while staying true to its iconic design. The Santos de Cartier represents a timeless blend of elegance and utility, making it a versatile choice for both formal occasions and everyday wear. The new Santos de Cartier Dual Time ref. WSSA0076 features a stainless steel square case with curved edges and exposed screws that are unmistakable. The case measures almost 40.2 mm x 47.5 mm.
Things to Know About the Watch
The stainless steel case measures 40.2mm in diameter, 47.5mm in length, and 10.1mm thick. The Santos de Cartier Dual Time sports a beautiful sunray brushed grey dial that is paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet which can be easily interchanged for a gray alligator strap —also included with the watch— thanks to Cartier’s QuickSwitch interchangeable system.
This stunning new Santos Dual Time features an exquisite sunray brushed gray dial with applied Roman numerals, Chemin de fer —railway— minute track in white, a date aperture at 3 o’clock, and a dual time subdial with circular day and night indicator.
The watch is delivered on a stainless steel bracelet with the 'SmartLink' resizing system and the 'QuickSwitch' interchangeability system. Additionally, a gray alligator strap with a folding clasp is included.
The Movement
Unfortunately, the Santos de Cartier Dual Time is not powered by an in-house automatic movement but by an adapted movement from theSellita SW330. This automatic movement provides a power reserve of 48 hours. The movement is protected by a solid case back and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters. Without a doubt, one of the best-looking Santos out there at the moment.
On the Wrist & Price
The Santos de Cartier Dual Time is a timepiece that wears elegantly on the wrist and true to its size. With its distinctive square case and exposed screws on the bezel, the watch exudes a blend of sophistication and sportiness. The integrated bracelet design ensures a seamless and comfortable fit on the wrist, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion, especially when swapping into the included alligator strap.
The refined dial layout, featuring Roman numerals, a convenient dual time indication, and sword-shaped hands with superluminova, further enhances the watch's overall aesthetic appeal. Whether dressed up or down, the Santos de Cartier effortlessly combines style and functionality in a way that is both timeless and contemporary.
