Cartier Santos takes flight: titanium lightness and luminous innovation

Cartier reimagines its iconic Santos de Cartier with two bold new editions that embody the spirit of aviation and adventure. A titanium model brings unprecedented lightness and resilience, while a steel version debuts a striking black dial illuminated by SuperLuminova® green accents. Every detail - from the spinel-set crown to the dynamic dial textures - reinforces Cartier’s mastery of design, performance, and timeless style in motion.

ith the new Cartier Santos watches, every detail counts – just like in mid-flight.

Always open to adventure, the Santos de Cartier watch explores two new creative avenues. Innovative by nature, it seamlessly adopts the ultra- lightness of titanium and also inaugurates a dial illuminated by Superluminova®.

These two watches of character introduce aesthetic and technical choices that reinforce the emblematic Santos de Cartier design.

GUY LAROCHE

Faithful to the design of the Santos watch, this titanium version is 43% lighter and 1.5 times harder than steel. The black spinel of the winding crown and the anthracite of the fully bead-blasted matte-finish material bring out the depth of its colour.

The spirit of adventure is in the air for the large all-steel model with a black dial. This sporty touch is immediately seen on the dial, featuring a railway track and hands coated in a fluorescent SuperLuminova® green. This aesthetic choice is enhanced by the dial’s finishes, half satin and half sunburst motif, as well as by the heptagonal crown set with a faceted blue synthetic spinel and a satin-finish case.
