Cartier Santos Watch

The Cartier Santos 100 Carbon Chronograph Watch.
Cartier jumps on the DLC (diamond-like carbon coating) bandwagon, but with something a bit different. They use something called ADLC for this new Santos 100 Carbon Chronograph watch model. ADLC is apparently a superior form of DLC which is known as “amorphous diamond-like carbon” coating. According to Cartier, ADLC is thicker, less prone to finger prints, and overall more “Cartier.” No, I just made that last one up, but it is something I can almost hear them saying. At this point I don’t know enough about ADLC to comment so I would consider the improvement over normal DLC to be less than substantial, otherwise everyone would be using it. Aside from the use of ADLC coated steel, the fabric strap takes this formal watch to a new sporty level – and the 18k rose gold bezel and other accents looks great against the black on the classic looking Santos design.
The Cartier Santos 100 Carbon Chronograph uses the Cartier automatic 8630 movement that is laid out with unique widely placed subdials – something you don’t see very often. I like how the hands are relatively bold for a Cartier timepiece, as it is almost strange not seeing them in blued steel. It appears that Cartier retained the crown cabochon crystal – with maybe an onyx as opposed to a sapphire on this watch. Overall the style is a real hybrid between functional sport watches and the formal good looks that Cartier is so well known for. An interesting watch with 100 meters of water resistance that will appeal to enough people I am sure.
We see why name brand watches like these are so expensive. It has everything you want in a watch. The price is retailed at 27,000 euros
