Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Santos de Cartier dual time function work?

The Santos de Cartier Dual Time features a second time zone display with an additional hour hand in a sub-dial. This allows you to track your home time while travelling, or monitor a second time zone for business or personal connections. The integrated day/night indicator helps you determine whether it’s appropriate to make calls or schedule meetings in the secondary time zone.

What makes the anthracite grey sunray-brushed dial on this Santos special?

The anthracite grey sunray finish creates a sophisticated metallic effect that changes appearance under different lighting conditions. Light radiates from the center of the dial in a sunburst pattern, adding depth and dimension while providing a contemporary contrast to the traditional Santos design elements.

What is the “SmartLink” adjustment system?

Cartier’s innovative SmartLink technology allows you to add or remove links from the bracelet without tools. By simply pressing a button on the underside of each link, you can resize the bracelet yourself in moments, eliminating the need for jeweler adjustments and ensuring perfect fit in changing conditions.

How does the “QuickSwitch” system work?

The QuickSwitch mechanism enables you to exchange between the steel bracelet and grey alligator strap without tools. A small button on the underside of the watch releases the current bracelet or strap, allowing you to slide a new one into place. This system makes the Santos incredibly versatile, transitioning from formal to casual occasions in seconds.

What is the water resistance rating on the Santos de Cartier Dual Time?

With 100 meters (10 bar) of water resistance, this Santos is protected against rain, splashes, and even swimming. However, it’s not designed for diving activities. The grey alligator strap should be kept dry, though the SmartLink steel bracelet is perfectly suitable for water exposure.

How does this model differ from the standard Santos?

The Santos de Cartier Dual Time model features a slightly larger case at 40.2mm (vs 39.8mm for the standard large model) and increased thickness at 10.1mm (vs 9.38mm) to accommodate the additional time zone functionality. The distinctive anthracite grey sunray dial and day/night indicator also distinguish this model from the standard Santos with its silvered opaline dial.
