What is a watch that will last a lifetime?

The Cartier Santos Octagon, which arrived today, is a vintage model in the very popular LM size.

This is a highly recommended item at our store.

 

 

This was Cartier's first stainless steel watch.

The Santos Octagon was introduced around 1979.

 

Santos Carree was also added to the lineup at the same time.

The Santos Octagon features a distinctive octagonal bezel.

A masterpiece with a vintage feel and size.

 

The LM size is smaller than the Santos Carree and can be worn by both men and women.

This item is popular not only with men but also with women.

 

 

Although it is a vintage model, the Santos Octagon combination model has a relatively stable distribution volume.

Of course, the condition of the watch itself varies depending on the individual watch.

The dial of this particular watch appears to have been replaced by Cartier.

The inscription at 6 o'clock reads "SWISS MADE" and has been replaced with a more recent standard.

 

Watches in the 1980s are not limited to Cartier,

Many brands use paint that causes the dial to crack.

Therefore, most Santos watches have some kind of damage to the dial.

If you have replaced the parts with new ones, there is no need to worry about cracks or other issues.

 

Currently, if you change the dial at Cartier, it will cost you nearly 50,000 yen just for the parts.

It would be great if there was one that had been replaced from the start.

 

 

And the biggest attraction of the Santos Octagon is

It's a very compact LM size.

Compared to modern watches, the case size is almost the same as that of women's watches.

This was the LM size at the time.

 

For most vintage watches, it is essential that they fit on the sleeve.

With the exception of a few sports models, most appear to be small.

 

At that time, wristwatches were very expensive and only worn by the upper class.

So that it doesn't get in the way when wearing a suit or tuxedo,

I hear that they have made many watches that fit on a sleeve.

 

Although things have calmed down a bit in recent times, larger size watches are still the norm.

There are no other men's watches as big as the Santos Octagon.

 

However, as we get older, we start to feel uncomfortable carrying large or heavy objects.

Flashy and flashy things no longer fit your style or lifestyle.

However, the number of situations where a wristwatch is needed will not decrease significantly.

What is "just right" for you will come in handy in many situations.

 

Not only can it be used for a wide range of occasions, from formal to casual,

With a classy watch like the Santos Octagon, you don't need any extraneous accessories.

You can wear it at any time.

 

Except for those who love watches, most people only own a few in their lifetime.

When it comes to high-end items, I think most people would only buy one bottle.

 

If you choose a watch that will last a lifetime, but you choose one that suits your current lifestyle,

There are times when you have no choice but to choose something large and flashy, such as a current product.

 

Just like clothes and shoes, you can choose a watch that fits your size.

You won't feel any stress from it being difficult to use.

 

I believe that a lifetime item is not something that is expensive or trendy at the time, but something that suits you and that you can use for a long time.

The Santos Octagon is a watch with a size that is just right for many people.

The reason why most watches look small is because we are used to seeing larger watches.

 

And because it is a vintage watch, it can be well maintained,

This is truly a watch that can last a lifetime.

 

Although the prices of vintage Cartier watches are rising, this is a highly recommended item, given its condition.

This is one of my favorite watches, so don't miss this opportunity!
