Cartier Santos-Dumont — Steel, Brown Gradient Dial, Roman Numerals & Black Alligator Strap, Quartz
The Cartier Santos-Dumont in stainless steel with brown gradient dial is among the most distinctive and collectible Santos-Dumont expressions — the ultra-thin rectangular case presents the beloved Santos-Dumont silhouette in its purest dress-watch form, here elevated by a richly atmospheric brown gradient lacquer dial that transitions from a deep, saturated tobacco-brown at the outer edges through warm cognac mid-tones to a luminous honey-gold centre, creating a dial surface of exceptional warmth and collector appeal. The characteristic Santos octagonal bezel with eight polished screw-heads frames the gradient with architectural precision. Roman numerals in Cartier’s signature elongated typeface radiate outward from a guilloché inner frame with refined legibility. Blue steel sword hands. Blue sapphire cabochon crown. Supple black alligator-leather strap. Swiss Made ultra-thin quartz movement.
