Dual time watches are not a new concept for Swiss Cartier Replica Watches. In the past, we have seen convenient complications on Tank, Tonneau, and even Ballon Bleu. However, this year marks the first time Cartier has added it to the improved Santos de Cartier collection. Adding additional time zones on the dial is a very natural move for Santos. But what I am most curious about is how watch collectors will accept the new niche market in a collection mainly composed of three watches. The Cartier Santos de Cartier Dual Time adds functionality to the long-standing aviation inspired model series and brings some versatility to the wider Santos collection.
It’s refreshing to see Cheap Santos de Cartier Replica with new complex features, but has Cartier’s latest effort disappeared from the minimalism that has become a modern collection? This is entirely subjective, as many people will welcome more innovation and functionality, while others will adopt a ‘less is more’ attitude towards Cartier’s latest novelty products in 2024. Setting aside criticism, I believe the brand has seamlessly integrated its new sub dial, neatly folded between 5 and 7 o’clock and presented in light gray to match the rest of the dial.
The circular design evokes the Ballon Bleu Dual Time and complements the other “shapes” of the dial. Although the rest of the dial is gray, I appreciate how Cartier 1:1 Replica Watches uses different tones and textures to maintain readability. The silver plated Roman numerals have a well polished surface that matches the polished bezel, and Cartier’s iconic railway “Chemin de Fer” minute track is light gray with gray lumens at every hour mark. I think the all silver appearance of this watch will be popular among most collectors.
Cartier seems to be planning to decorate the sub dial with luminous hour hands to make it as clear and easy to read as possible. Now I have the opportunity to further inspect the watch, the small register – with a thin font of “dual time” brand and a concentric pattern – is not as easy to read at a glance as I hoped. All Replica Watches could have omitted most of the design elements, in my opinion, the sub dial would be clearer. Nevertheless, I can still showcase the brand’s intention by using a texture different from the sun brush dial. It is interesting that the calendar window that usually occupies the space where the new sub dial is now located has moved to the 3 o’clock position.
The core of Dual Time is the large model of Santos de Cartier, featuring a similar case shape, blue synthetic spinel, and exposed screws. The main difference is that this watch acts as a true dual time zone by displaying two time zones simultaneously on the dial. This complex function is different from GMT, which usually requires setting a 24-hour scale at a certain position on the bezel or dial, and setting dedicated pointers for additional time zones. The new Cartier Dual Time Men’s Replica Watches is slightly larger than the standard large Santos, with a case width of 40.2 millimeters and a thickness of 10.1 millimeters.
For comparison, the width of the large model is 39.8mm and the thickness is 9.38mm. Nevertheless, it still features similar short and curved lugs to help the watch stick tightly to the wrist, and is equipped with a convenient QuickSwitch system for changing bracelets on the go. It is worth mentioning that the interchangeable strap system is proprietary, which limits the wearer to only wear Cartier straps and bracelets.
The existing Top Swiss Replica Watches movement is only 1847 MC, which is an internally developed and manufactured automatic movement. Cartier has modified an outsourced movement to accommodate the complexity of dual time, rather than creating a completely new movement. Collectors undoubtedly have reservations about this, but outsourced movements have advantages, such as a longer 48 hour power reserve compared to the 42 hour 1847 MC movement.
Love it or hate it, Santos de Cartier Dual Time Replica Watches US may always exist. We cannot confirm, but there are rumors on Watches and Wonders that Cartier may expand this model in a smaller size. Regardless of the approach, I believe this watch will achieve great success among those who appreciate the dual time watch function and Santos’ enduring style.
