Introduced as a variation on the classic square case, the eight-sided bezel adds a distinct feel without losing the core identity of the watch. It is a product of its time, capturing a specific moment in the late 20th century when angular, geometric design was at the forefront.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Larger Size In Two-Tone Steel And Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis reference 2966 represents the larger version of the Santos Octagonal, giving it a more substantial presence on the wrist than the smaller ladies' models of the era. The two-tone execution in stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold is definitive for this period, offering the perfect balance between a sport watch and a piece of jewelry. The automatic movement inside adds a layer of practicality, making it a truly functional piece of design.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Unpolished And Very Good Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good condition, defined by a sharp, unpolished case and bracelet that retain their original factory lines. The crystal is perfect. The white Roman numeral dial is near-perfect, with a slight chip in the paint around the date window. The integrated two-tone bracelet is in very good shape, showing minimal wear. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Case For Eight Sides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe octagonal Santos is the version most people walk past, and that is exactly its argument. Anyone can find the square one. Pulling the eight-sided bezel out of the back catalog takes a little more reading, and it rewards the effort with a watch that nobody else at the table is wearing. The larger 30mm case makes it genuinely wearable rather than a period curiosity, and the two-tone bracelet slides between a suit and a t-shirt without comment.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2966\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santos Octagonal\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-Tone Integrated\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Roman\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold \u0026amp; Stainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1455\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55472221782307,"sku":"11455","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF2822_ee7cefb0-cfc9-439e-a72f-a3833d4fded0.jpg?v=1786725609","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/cartier-santos-octagonal-2966-automatic-two-tone-white-roman-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
