When famous Brazilian pilot requested a legible timekeeping instrument that would assist with his flights, Louis Cartier responded with the innovative Santos Dumont design in 1904. This large-sized men’s Cartier Santos Dumont watch remains faithful in many ways to the original design. Its instantly recognisable screws bolting an 18ct rose gold bezel onto a stainless steel case balances function with luxurious elements perfectly. The watch is also 30-meter water resistant and provides a safe and secure environment for a mechanical movement to operate within. The manual winding, calibre 430 MC performs at 21,600 oscillations per hour and provides the wearer with a 36-hour power reserve for those occasions spent off the wrist.
