Cartier Santos

Cartier Santos in brief

The Santos story begins in 1904, when Louis Cartier designed a watch for his aviator friend Alberto Santos-Dumont that he could read while flying without taking it out of his pocket. It is counted among the first modern wristwatches for men.

The square case with softened corners, the visible screws on it and the bezel flowing into the case make the Santos recognizable. In the family renewed in 2018, the strap and bracelet are changed without tools using QuickSwitch, and the bracelet length is adjusted with SmartLink.

Frequently asked questions

Medium or large?

A square case looks larger than a round one. The medium model sits in balance on slim and medium wrists, the large model on broad wrists.

Can I adjust the bracelet myself?

Yes. The SmartLink system lets links be added and removed without tools.

What is the difference between the Santos and the Santos-Dumont?

The Santos-Dumont is a classic interpretation closer to the proportions of the first model, slimmer and mostly on a strap; the Santos de Cartier is sportier and bracelet-focused.

Which case sizes does the Cartier Santos come in?

The catalog currently has case sizes of 27, 35.1, 37.7, 39.7, 39.8 mm. Our wrist size guide makes it easy to see which one fits your wrist.
