Today, the Santos is a versatile watch that works well in both formal and casual situations. It’s attractive on a bracelet or a strap, and its water resistance makes it a worry-free everyday wear timepiece for most people. Cartier also offers the Santos in alternative finishes, such as ADLC steel, with a diamond-like black coating that shines as deeply as any precious metal. There are multiple dial colors, including a unique sunburst blue that stands out, but classic white is still a solid choice.
