The automatic movement and white enamel dial in this Santos model are unique to this generation. The now-discontinued octagonal "Octagon" model continues to enjoy enduring popularity. The Santos' design, characterized by a bracelet and bezel adorned with screws, epitomizes Cartier's distinctiveness. The flat-cut bracelet sparkles in sunlight, resembling a high-quality bangle. Vintage Cartier enamel dials are known to develop minor cracks over time, even though this does not significantly affect their appeal. This particular piece is rare in that it has no cracks, a significant advantage considering most market examples have some. The hands retain their vibrant blue color. Although the case is unpolished, it only has minor scratches, making it suitable for pairing with a suit for work without any discomfort. The origins of this model trace back to a noble aviator. The all-silver case presents a refined design with a strong sports feel, inviting you to experience the world of Cartier's sporty elegance. BRAND The "Santos" originated in the 1900s when aviator Santos-Dumont requested a watch from Cartier that he could check while flying. Among the Santos models, the octagonal "Santos Octagon" stands out with its flat-cut bracelet that glitters with every movement of the wrist. This model combines simplicity with elegance, creating a sophisticated impression.
