Cartier Santos de Cartier ADLC Large Model
This is a luxury stainless steel wristwatch featuring the iconic square case design of the Cartier Santos. Although the user prompt mentions 'Tag Heuer,' the visual evidence clearly identifies this as a Cartier Santos. The timepiece features a brushed stainless steel case and a matching integrated bracelet, both characterized by the signature exposed functional screws. The dial is a deep ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) black with contrasting white Roman numeral hour markers and a rail-track minute circle. It includes a date window at the 6 o'clock position and sword-shaped steel hands. The bezel is fixed by eight screws, maintaining the industrial yet refined aesthetic of the 1904 original. Based on the proportions relative to the bracelet width, this appears to be the 'Large Model' variant. The condition appears to be pre-owned with light surface scratches (swirlies) on the bezel and bracelet links, consistent with regular wear. No major gouges or diamond-set modifications are visible. The craftsmanship is high-end, featuring the 'SmartLink' adjustment system and 'QuickSwitch' interchangeability typical of modern Santos models produced in the late 2010s to present.
