GOLD SANTOS DE CARTIER There are few watches more iconic than the yellow gold Santos de Cartier. It is about as classic as a dress watch can get, with the model’s signature Roman numerals, railway chapter ring, blued steel hands, and seven-sided crown. The case is a hefty 39.8 mm wide and 9.38 mm thick, and it is water resistant to 100 meters. It contains the automatic caliber 1847 MC.
SANTOS DE CARTIER STEEL Green dials started to appear on watches a few years ago when Pantone named it the color of the year and made it representative of all things ecological. It also just happens to look great on the wrist. On the steel Santos, it adds a pop of color to an otherwise classic aesthetic, which stands out even more when the steel bracelet is swapped out for the green alligator strap that comes with it.
SANTOS DE CARTIER CHRONOGRAPH When it comes to sports watches, even Cartier, with its classic Roman-numeral dial design, subscribes to the motto, “go big or go home.” This powerful chronograph, with the automatic 1904 CH MC caliber, is 43.3 mm wide and 12.4 mm thick. The blackened steel bracelet matches the bezel, but it can be swapped out for a black rubber or black “Gomma” alligator strap, thanks to Cartier’s QuickSwitch strap-change system.
