The "Cartier Santos Galbee" that arrived today is the first quartz model in a long time.
It was released around 1987 as the successor to the automatic Santos Carree.
Following the design of the Santos Carree,
The case and bracelet have been redesigned to have a more rounded design.
The date function is still included,
The date window has been moved from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock.
The dial color is also ivory, which differentiates it from the rest.
In contrast to the Santos Carree, which has a strong masculine impression,
The Santos Galbee, which has a feminine feel, is also very popular.
Later, automatic and quartz models were integrated into the design.
It becomes a rounded Santos Galbee.
The bracelet has a single buckle type.
It hasn't been changed since then.
Around 2000, the buckle became a double-opening type.
The width of the bracelet itself ranges from strongly tapered to
The design has been changed to be more straight, making it more robust.
Although it's a matter of personal preference, the practical later model bracelet is also good.
The early model bracelet, which retains a classic feel, also has a certain charm.
Personally, I prefer the buckle that uses the old logo from the early model.
This time, we performed a complete service at Cartier,
All replaceable parts such as the dial, hands, and crown have been replaced with new ones.
Furthermore, the back case has also been replaced with a new one, so nothing has been overlooked.
The exterior finish has not been polished to preserve the vintage look.
If you wish, we can provide a new finish for an additional fee.
In recent times, more and more people are choosing to wear both mechanical and quartz watches without making a difference.
Perhaps because quartz watches were once thought of as disposable,
There were many people who were put off by quartz watches.
However, there are now a certain number of people who prefer practical quartz watches.
This trend was created by
The designs available for Cartier products are determined by the movement,
Some dials are not available in the mechanical lineup,
There are a variety of reasons for this, including the fact that some watches have designs that are only available as quartz models.
However, I personally believe that both mechanical and quartz watches have their own merits.
The essence of a watch is to be the ultimate tool for telling time,
Just like fashion, it is also an item that allows you to express yourself.
I believe there is no right or wrong answer there, and it's a world that is unique to you.
This Santos Galbee is also very attractive,
It will make you appreciate the benefits of a quartz watch.
Once you know how convenient this is...
I may never go back to mechanical watches.
