Cartier - Santos - White Dial - SS Strap

A meticulous 1:1 recreation of the Cartier Santos, featuring a bright white opaline dial paired with a brushed stainless steel case and fitted with a clean stainless steel strap. The dial showcases Cartier’s trademark black Roman numerals with sharp printing, consistent stroke weight, and precise proportional spacing. A traditional chemin-de-fer minute track frames the layout, reinforcing the Santos’ classical yet aviation-inspired character. Blued sword-shaped hands faithfully reproduce the authentic coloration and geometry, delivering crisp contrast against the white dial surface for strong legibility. The stainless steel square case combines brushed flat planes with polished bevel transitions, preserving the Santos’ architectural identity and signature exposed screws around the bezel. The faceted crown is set with a synthetic blue cabochon, completing the recognizable Cartier silhouette. The stainless steel strap introduces a refined contemporary aesthetic, complementing the interplay of brushed and polished steel while adding visual lightness on the wrist. It tapers smoothly and secures with a stainless steel folding deployant clasp, ensuring both comfort and a clean wrist profile. Powered by a custom 1:1 automatic movement, the watch drives the hours, minutes, and date functions with accurate winding behavior and precise hand alignment. The date aperture is rendered with sharp typography and correct window proportions, maintaining fidelity to the original caliber’s operational characteristics.
