Cartier Santos Octagon Automatic GM Gold/Steel

Cartier Santos Octagon Ref. 2966 – 30mm – Two-Tone – Leather Strap

A beautiful Cartier Santos Octagon ref. 2966, presented in the classic combination of stainless steel and yellow gold. With its distinctive octagonal bezel, exposed screws and compact proportions, this reference offers a slightly more unusual interpretation of the Santos design while remaining unmistakably Cartier.

This example measures 30mm and is fitted on a brown leather strap, giving the watch a more elegant and understated appearance compared with the traditional integrated bracelet configuration. The white Roman numeral dial is paired with blued steel hands, a chemin de fer minute track and Cartier’s signature blue cabochon crown.

The combination of the brushed steel case, polished yellow-gold bezel and leather strap gives this Santos Octagon a refined vintage character and makes it particularly versatile on the wrist.
