Cartier Santos-Dumont Watch
This is a Cartier Santos-Dumont wrist watch, a contemporary iteration of the world's first pilot's watch originally designed in 1904. The watch features a classic square-shaped case crafted from stainless steel with a high-polish bezel and a satin-brushed finish on the lugs. The bezel is iconic for its eight visible functional screws, a signature design element of the Santos line. The dial is silvered with a sunray finish, featuring black Roman numeral hour markers and a rail-track minute circle. The hands are blued-steel sword-shaped hands transitionally pointing to the hours and minutes. The crown is set with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon. This specific model appears to be the 'Large' size (approx 43.5 mm x 31.4 mm) powered by a high-autonomy quartz movement. It is fitted on a dark navy blue or black alligator leather strap with a steel ardillon buckle. The condition appears well-maintained with light micro-scratching on the polished bezel consistent with gentle use. The crystal appears clear without visible chips. No major dents or deep gouges are observed on the case profile. The craftsmanship reflects Cartier's luxury standards with crisp printing on the dial and precise finishing on the metal surfaces.
