Santos Automatic 35.6mm Interchangeable Stainless Steel and Leather Watch, Ref. No. WSSA0010

EXCLUSIVE AT MR PORTER. Cartier's legendary 'Santos' reference has at least two claims to fame - it's the first timepiece the jeweller ever made and one of the world's debut pilot styles. It was originally designed for Brazilian aviator Mr Alberto Santos-Dumont who needed something more practical than a pocket watch to wear while flying. Engineered with an automatic 1847 MC movement and housed in an Art Deco-inspired stainless steel case, it's set with an opaline dial and classic Roman numerals. We think it's best paired with suiting - switch the stainless steel bracelet for the leather strap before formal events.
