Created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the design solved a real-world problem for pilots who couldn't check a pocket watch in flight. That functional heritage defined the Santos for decades. When integrated bracelet sports watches took over in the 1970s, Cartier responded with this design, the Santos Carree. It adapted the original square case and exposed bezel screws into a format that became an icon of the 1980s.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Pure And Balanced Expression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe reference 2960 is the all-steel, automatic version of the Santos Carree. This example, with its clean white dial and classic black Roman numerals, is the most versatile and pure expression of the design. The case wears larger than its dimensions suggest thanks to the square shape and integrated bracelet, offering a confident presence that works in any setting. It represents the perfect intersection of Cartier's historical significance and the casual sportiness that defined a generation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Honest, Unpolished Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is in very good, unpolished overall condition.
