Measuring 39.8 mm in stainless steel, the Santos de Cartier large model carries the distinctive square case that has defined the line for decades. The graduated blue dial shifts from a deeper hue at the periphery toward a lighter tone at the center, with Roman numerals, a minute track, and polished steel sword-shaped hands incorporating luminescent material for clear readability. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the seven-sided crown set with a blue synthetic spinel adds a characteristic Cartier flourish.
Inside, the self-winding Caliber 1847 MC automatic movement powers the watch with a 42-hour power reserve. The steel bracelet is fitted with Cartier's SmartLink system, allowing easy size adjustment without tools, while an additional blue alligator leather strap with the QuickSwitch system offers effortless interchangeability — both secured by the interchangeable folding steel buckle.
Water resistance reaches 100 meters, making this Santos equally suited to daily wear and light water exposure. The watch is offered complete with its original Cartier box and papers, providing full documentation for this versatile and enduring stainless steel timepiece.
