The Cartier Santos Octagon, which arrived today, is a very popular vintage model in our store.
This is a Cartier masterpiece that we have been recommending since we first opened.
This is Cartier's first stainless steel watch, featuring a distinctive octagonal bezel.
In Japan, the number "8" is considered an auspicious number, so I feel like it has some good luck to it.
Combined with the design that uses the screws unique to Santos, you can feel the quality of the design that is unique to vintage models.
The case size is small, so even the LM size feels like a women's watch.
I think a large case would look clumsy with this design,
When you wear it, you realize that this size is perfect for this design.
This season, we recommend pairing it with high-quality knitwear or shirts.
How easy it is to use a watch that fits on your sleeve,
And how comfortable it feels to have a watch that fits perfectly on your wrist.
I realize the importance of that size.
As it gets colder, you'll need more jackets,
With the Santos Octagon, you can wear a jacket over your watch.
It may seem like a small thing, but it helps to avoid the stress of wearing a larger watch.
I learned something from the Santos Octagon that is more important than I thought.
The dial of this particular watch appears to have been replaced by Cartier in later years.
The inscription on the 6 o'clock side reads "SWISS MADE."
The dial is in excellent condition with no damage whatsoever.
Since the price revision in September, manufacturer repairs have increased not only for complete services but also for parts.
The price of the dial now costs about 50,000 yen,
Another attractive feature is that the Santos dial, which is prone to damage, has been replaced.
The movement is Cal. 2971, one of the most excellent automatic general-purpose movements.
It is a complete machine that is flawless in all aspects, including durability, precision, and ease of maintenance.
Not only the design of the watch but also the excellence of the movement is added,
Not only vintage watches but also current products are included.
It's rare to find a watch this good.
Once you get a watch, it's an item that you can keep for the rest of your life.
Regular maintenance will ensure that your equipment can be used for a long time.
There aren't many other watches available.
The Santos Octagon is a watch that you will want to wear no matter how old you are.
They are like a true companion that transcends life.
