About this particular model of Cartier Santos...
- Because the Santos 100 collection was designed to have a bold, robust presence on the wrist to celebrate its centenary, it is physically thicker than standard dress watches
- The Screws: It features 8 exposed structural accent screws. These secure the bezel down to the watch head and are a direct nod to classic early 20th-century aviation aesthetic
- The Finish: The square bezel has a high-polished mirror finish. This beautifully contrasts with the satin-brushed matte look on the rest of the steel case sides
