Santos de Cartier Green Dial Edition
The Santos de Cartier Green Dial Edition, unveiled in early 2023, introduces a captivating departure from convention with its striking emerald green dial. This bold yet refined choice of color redefines the aesthetic language of the Santos collection, adding a contemporary twist to the iconic design.
Retaining the distinct square case shape, this timepiece pays homage to the original 1904 Santos model that laid the foundation for modern watchmaking. Crafted from stainless steel, the case boasts durability and a contemporary allure, seamlessly bridging the gap between tradition and innovation. It retains the sizing of the Santos de Cartier revived in 2018, measuring 39.8 x 47.5 mm for the large model and 41.9 x 35.1 mm for the medium model. Water resistance remains at 100 meters or 300 feet.
Delving beneath its captivating exterior, this model boasts a robust automatic movement, the Caliber 1847 MC, showcasing Cartier’s unwavering dedication to precision and performance. This intricate mechanism powers the watch’s essential functions, ensuring accurate timekeeping for its wearer, and providing 40 hours of power.
The moderate size of the watch strikes an ideal balance between bold presence and comfortable wear, echoing the design ethos of previous steel editions of the Santos de Cartier with a blend of polish and satin steel. This harmonious blend of form and function allows enthusiasts to revel in the updated aesthetics without compromising on the watch’s comfort and wearability.
