1980s–90s Santos Automatic Steel

An early example of the well-known Santos de Cartier from the late 1980s–90s, this small stainless-steel model is distinguished by its automatic movement and a noticeably more robust build than later iterations. The case back retains its distinctive red-filled engraving reading “Santos de Cartier, Automatique, Swiss Made,” a particular detail of this earlier example.

The classic white dial features black Roman numerals, an inner minute track, blued-steel hands and sweep seconds. It is paired with the signature screwed stainless-steel Santos bracelet and secured by a single deployant clasp embossed with Cartier’s double-C logo.

A clean and timeless Santos with compact proportions, well suited for everyday wear.
