Santos-Dumont or Santos de Cartier
The two share a name and a silhouette but serve different purposes. The Santos-Dumont is the thin dress watch, closest to the 1904 original, offered in quartz, hand-wound, and skeleton micro-rotor forms on a leather strap. The Santos de Cartier is the sportier automatic with an integrated steel bracelet and higher water resistance. Santos-Dumont sizes run small, large, and extra large.
