By adding some new models to the Santos-Dumont range, they are following in the “magical and unprecedented footsteps of Albert Santos-Dumont,” for whom everything was possible. When it came to designing a watch that could satisfy this “sky is the limit”, the wizards at Cartier conceived the new Cartier Replica, launching three versions of the standard Santos-Dumont watch with a lacquered case new version.
The Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind responds to a request that I think absolutely no one has asked: Please make a watch that turns back time. This is what Cheap Cartier Replica does. The platinum Santos-Dumont Rewind has the same wearing dimensions as the regular “large” model, with a diameter of 31.5 mm, a lug-to-lug distance of 43.5 mm, and a thickness of 7.3 mm.
It has a sapphire crystal, a ruby cabochon crown, and comes on an alligator leather strap with a platinum pin buckle. The Cartier Replica Watches dial is made of onyx and features rhodium-plated Roman numerals and hands. You’ll notice that the numbers are reversed and the hands rotate in the opposite direction. That’s the whole trick. A bit like the Timex 25-hour dial from a few years ago, and certainly not as eye-catching as last year’s Santos-Dumont flat rotor.
The three new AAA Cartier Santos-Dumont Replica models are decidedly more traditional, and possibly more attractive, depending on how you feel about carnelian. The case size is the same as the Rewind, and the watch also comes with the same color-coordinated strap. The watches expand on the existing lacquered models and are available in platinum, rose gold and yellow gold, with case and bezel lacquer colors in olive green, taupe and peacock blue respectively. The paint finish is less than 1/1000mm and is polished by hand.
The dials are all in the same color as the enamel, with a sunray finish and Arabic numerals that match the case metal. The hands of these models restore the typical Cartier sword style. All four watches are powered by Cartier replica watches for men hand-wound movements. In the case of the Santos-Dumont Rewind, the brand reversed the gearing on a 230 MC, while the other three used Cartier 430 MC. Both movements run at 21,600 vph and offer a 38-hour power reserve.
Aesthetically, these are lovely looking replica watches for sale cheap, but the Rewind seems to fail to strike the balance between quirkiness and functionality like the Cartier Coussin models. The lacquer box is right up my alley, though, and is a very attractive addition to the Santos-Dumont range.
