Cart!er Santos Dumont | Black

The Santos de Cartier is a true icon of watchmaking, originally created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. This bold reinterpretation of the classic design fuses heritage with modernity, offering a sleek, urban aesthetic for today’s trailblazers.

Crafted from stainless steel and enhanced with a matte black ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) coating on the bezel, this large model exudes understated power and sophistication. The signature square case—measuring 47.5 mm x 39.8 mm—is defined by exposed screws and seamless lines, preserving the spirit of the original while embracing a contemporary edge.

Its deep black dial features Roman numerals with luminous sword-shaped hands and a subtle date window at 6 o’clock, all protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The refined layout balances bold contrast with timeless elegance.

Driven by the automatic calibre 1847 MC, the watch delivers precise performance and magnetic resistance, along with a 42-hour power reserve. The steel bracelet features Cartier’s SmartLink sizing system, allowing for quick, tool-free adjustments, and is complemented by an additional black rubber strap—both easily interchangeable thanks to the QuickSwitch system.

Combining Cartier’s legendary design with modern-day functionality, this version of the Santos de Cartier makes a confident statement, day or night.
