Introduced in 1904, the Santos de Cartier family is the result of a promise Louis Cartier made to Alberto Santos-Dumont to create the first ever wristwatch suitable for flying. Today, it is one of Cartier’s most iconic collections.

Retaining the rounded angles, seamlessly curved horns and exposed screws of the original model, this handsome Large Santos de Cartier Men’s Watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, 18ct yellow gold bezel and a seven-sided crown set with a faceted spinel.

The silvered opaline dial is equipped with blued-steel, sword-shaped hands, a date window and a sapphire crystal lens. Versatile and confident, the watch comes with two straps – one a stainless steel bracelet with 18ct yellow gold screws, and the other a soft, brown calfskin strap with an adjustable steel buckle. The straps are easily interchangeable thanks to the addition of the QuickSwitch system.
