Santos Bi-color

Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium – Ref. W2SA0016

The Cartier Santos de Cartier ref. W2SA0016 is a contemporary interpretation of one of the most historically important wristwatch designs. Presented in the versatile medium size, this model combines stainless steel with an 18kt yellow gold bezel, creating the classic bicolor Santos aesthetic while retaining the practical QuickSwitch and SmartLink systems of the modern generation. Cartier’s official specifications confirm the configuration.

Case

The case combines stainless steel with an 18kt yellow gold bezel and measures 41.9 × 35.1 mm, with a slim 8.83 mm thickness. The characteristic exposed screws, rounded-square profile and seven-sided crown set with a faceted synthetic blue spinel are unmistakable Santos design elements.

The watch is protected by a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 metres / 10 bar.
