Cartier pays tribute to the legacy of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont with its new Santos collections.  

Three new Santos de Cartier watches join the collection, featuring bold new dial colors. These include two “Large” three-hand models with date and a “Medium” three-hand watch. The “Large” models - 39.8 x 47.5 mm - come in a bicolor edition (yellow gold and stainless steel) and a new stainless-steel edition. The two-tone model features a brushed anthracite grey dial, framed by a yellow gold bezel.

The Santos “Large” in stainless steel and the “Medium” three-hand watch, also in stainless steel, mark the introduction of a brushed chocolate brown dial. Indicating the time with sword-shaped hands, these stainless-steel versions are a little sportier due to the addition of luminescent material. Thanks to an interchangeable “Quickswitch” system, the wearer can switch between the classic stainless-steel bracelet or a brown leather strap.

All the new models are powered by the automatic caliber 1847 MC, with 40 hours of power reserve.
