Cartier Santos Carrée "Burgundy" ref.2960 from 1979
In 1978, Cartier redesigned and renamed the Santos de Cartier, giving the watch an integrated bracelet instead of the traditional leather strap. Cartier made the case and bracelet out of stainless steel, a true departure for the Maison which had only worked with precious metals before this time. This might be the most uncommon version of the Cartier Santos: the impressive Burgundy Red Santos Carrée, crafted entirely from steel and featuring the original "Swiss" dial.Brand: CartierModel: Santos CarréeYear of Manufacture: 1979Material: SteelDimensions: 29x40mmCrystal Material: Mineral GlassDial: Burgundy Spider Dial Reference Number: 2960Movement: AutomaticBracelet Size: 18mmBracelet: Cartier SantosBox/Papers: Watch OnlyMechanical Function Guarantee: 6 Months Comments: Watch in excellent mechanical condition, recently serviced.
