The watch introduced the exposed screw on the bezel as a functional and subsequently iconic design element, a detail that has defined the Santos's visual identity across twelve decades of continuous evolution. The current Santos de Cartier, reintroduced in 2018 with a refined case architecture and the QuickSwitch interchangeable strap system, represents the most technically developed generation of the reference, and the medium two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold configuration is among the most historically faithful — closest in spirit to the original, which also combined two materials in its construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe medium stainless steel case carries a yellow gold bezel secured by eight polished yellow gold screws — the Santos's defining decorative and structural motif. The white silvered dial presents bold black Roman numerals, a fine inner railroad minute track, and blued-steel sword hands with a sapphire cabochon crown. The integrated bracelet alternates stainless steel and yellow gold links in matching two-tone construction, with a double-blade deployant clasp. Caliber 1847 MC, automatic, powers the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e*This timepiece comes with an additional leather strap, original white hang tag, buckle, and screwdriver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48036881268980,"sku":"P6540S","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7141\/5373\/files\/cartier-santos-medium-w2sa0016-stainless-steel-yellow-gold-white-dial-automatic-2025-cartier-1234272062.jpg?v=1777050430","url":"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/products\/cartier-santos-medium-w2sa0016-stainless-steel-yellow-gold-white-dial-automatic-2026","provider":"Wrist Aficionado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
