Santos-Dumont Skeleton Large Rose Gold Interchangeable Leather Strap Burgundy

A LEGEND OF AVIATION AND TIME

The Santos watch was conceived by Louis Cartier in 1904 to help aviators tell time mid-flight. Since then, this pioneering wristwatch has become an icon, defined by its geometric dial, harmoniously curved horns and signature exposed screws.

A square case with rounded corners, with functional screws deliberately left visible, the design of the Santos watch cultivates codes that form an aesthetic signature of Cartier watchmaking. The collection offers a variety of models, crafted in steel, gold, or two-tone combinations, with options for interchangeable bracelets that include metal, leather, or rubber, highlighting versatility and style.

The Santos de Cartier is powered by automatic mechanical movements, ensuring reliable performance. Many models in the collection are water-resistant up to 100 meters, making them suitable for everyday use and light aquatic activities. The watch’s aesthetic is completed with the signature exposed screws on the bezel, a hallmark of its industrial charm, and dials that often display Roman numerals with a clean and sophisticated layout.

Skeletonized models in the Santos collection reveal the intricate inner workings of the movement, adding a contemporary twist to this classic design. These pieces emphasize the brand’s commitment to merging artistry with innovation.
