Cartier watches are known for their characteristic dial designs. The most eye-catching feature must be those black lacquered Roman numerals on a stark white or silver background.This year, Cartier Replica gives the Santos and Santos-Dumont models a colorful treatment.

I love how the model combines the signature square dial with a sporty case while remaining so very elegant. A lot of the time, color can take away some of that elegance, and it can make a watch look less serious. But that’s certainly not the case with the AAA Cartier Replica Watches we’re looking at today. On the contrary, even, the touches of color on the new Santos and Santos-Dumont models take their elegance to a whole new level.

Santos de Cartier

It’s almost like Cartier is screaming at you, “This is a tool watch!” But of course, Cartier isn’t because, when you look at the watch on your wrist, it’s such a nice combination between sportiness and elegance.

This makes the colors look very classy rather than too loud. Both sizes are powered by the 1847 MC automatic movement, a 23-jewel caliber with 4Hz frequency and a 42-hour power reserve.

Santos-Dumont

The overall design of the Santos-Dumont is also one we already know very well. Last year, Cheap Cartier Replica launched the large Santos-Dumont in steel, rose gold, and platinum versions, each with a thin layer of black, cream, or red lacquer on top. This year, the colorful treatment is only applied to the Extra Large size (33.9mm wide) of the Santos-Dumont. But it’s not another layer of lacquer this time around. Instead, it’s the Roman numerals that get dressed in green, red, or blue on top of a guilloché dial.

The Santos-Dumont in rose gold is combined with green jade, while the platinum version is fitted with red jasper, and the yellow gold version has blue dumortierite Roman numerals. Of course, they all come on a matching alligator strap. The Cartier Replica Watches apple-style hands on this colorful series are powered by the hand-wound ultra-thin caliber 430 MC.But if you prefer the Large version (31.4mm wide) of the Santos-Dumont, there’s also good news.

Cartier is releasing two new versions in that size in both two-tone (steel and gold) and full yellow gold. The first one features a sunburst gray dial, and the other has a sunburst dial in a very deep blue. Both tell you the time with beautifully polished gold hands that move over the matching gold Roman numerals. The movement inside these two watches is one of Cheapest Cartier Replica Watches high-autonomy quartz calibers.

I really like the way they look, especially the ones with the colored Roman numerals and guilloché dials. It’s not as if Cartier Replica Watches Swiss Movement simply added some color to existing references. The designers have put a lot of thought into the combination between the case material and the color of the numerals and the cabochon. As for the Santos de Cartier, I think the black-on-silver dial will always be my favorite. That said, I’m very much looking forward to trying on that green version.
