Cartier Santos-Dumont Watch
Based on a design from 1904 and named for the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, this latest Cartier timepiece is a decidedly upscale entry model. What makes it upscale is the dressy squarish case, measuring either 38.5mm or 43.5mm lug-to-lug and accented with Roman numerals, visible screws holding down a polished bezel, and beaded winding crown. What makes it entry-level is the quartz movement inside, a reliable option with six-year battery life. Available in steel, two-tone, and 18k rose gold, all fitted with leather straps.
