Cartier has always been known for its design. Cartier’s major series of watches, such as the Blue Balloon, Tank, Santos, Key, DRIVE, and Calibre, are all classics. If you want to choose the first place among so many “classics”, Santos is the most qualified Cartier watch to be elected first. Because Santos is considered to be “the world’s first modern watch” (it has been widely recognized and there is basically no controversy), it was born in 1904 and mass-produced for the public in 1911. It is Cartier’s oldest series. And Cartier’s design is very advanced. We can see that the Cartier Santos in the 1920s and the new Santos today have no big difference in appearance. After 100 years, it is still very fashionable. In terms of design, in the world of famous watches, Cartier is definitely the top level and has long been a leader in the watch industry. It has the reputation of “the jeweler of the emperor, the emperor of jewelers”.
Today, the editor of GF Factory’s official website mainly reviews the Santos series WSSA0009 (large) watch, because GF Factory has more Santos series, currently a total of 7 products, relatively speaking, white is the most classic. Previously, there were manufacturers such as KOR, BV, and V6 competing, and now basically only GF continues to work on this Santos, and after the second generation upgrade, all aspects of the details have surpassed other manufacturers. In 22 years, a new way of playing with tape models has been launched. Basically, other manufacturers have no competitiveness. Today we will evaluate the case, strap, and dial to let everyone clearly understand the workmanship of this watch.
The case and shell are genuine 1:1 molds, the case is 39.8mm*9.08mm, and the men’s large size. This watch has two sizes, large and medium, and couples. This watch is made of 316L stainless steel, with smooth and natural lines and full of beauty. The transition of each corner on the side is smooth, the brushing is delicate, and the touch feels smooth. The middle case is mainly processed with lines and satin brushing technology, the bezel is polished, the front and sides of the case are brushed, and the sides of the case have a similar chamfered polishing. The case is complex and has a variety of light and dark. The 8 iconic screws on the bezel are also polished, and the blue spinel on the crown has a faint blue luster when viewed from the side. The bottom cover is brushed, and the square corners are also slightly curved to make it comfortable to wear without hurting the hand, and the trademark model and other letters and numbers are engraved. The entire case is exquisitely crafted and full of metal art.
The strap and strap removal use the QuickSwitch system, and the wearer can replace the strap for the watch at will, which is suitable for various occasions. The hidden device is cleverly integrated with the case structure. Just press the device under the strap head to start the replacement system. In addition to this cutting-edge technology, the watch is also equipped with a SmartLink system that can adjust the size of the metal bracelet through the chain link. Through this device, the wearer can adjust the strap length by hand without tools. Simply press the link to release the fixing clip to add or remove the watch link. The reason why the strap is taken out separately this time is that this strap is quite special. There are steel straps, leather straps, and adhesive tapes. The factory gives away leather straps when you buy steel straps. The adhesive tape is a new way to play, a new style, and the disassembly system is quite special.

The dial and mirror surface use the same sapphire mirror glass as the original. The white film gift-transparent process is used for the first time in the replica industry. The anti-glare and anti-fingerprint technology is enhanced. The mirror refractive index reaches the genuine grade 1.77, and the hardness is as high as Mohs 9. The silver-plated pearlescent dial, the new and revised dial color is closer, the heptagonal crown is inlaid with a multi-faceted synthetic spinel, and the adjustment feels good. The font printing is full and thornless, the lines are smooth and clear, and the layout is consistent with the original, which highly restores the layering of the original text! The blue needle firing process, pointer length, pointer color, and processing neatness are almost invisible to the naked eye. The pointer is deep blue when viewed from the side, and the small scale displayed on the middle track makes the dial more delicate. The calendar is rectangular and stepped, with a gray matte background. The calendar font is full and clear, which is easy to read.
