Timeless and iconic Cartier Santos Octagon, Reference 2966. A distinguished variant of the legendary Santos design, this timepiece captures the essence of 1980s/1990s luxury sports watch design. The 29mm stainless steel case is defined by its namesake 18k yellow gold octagonal bezel, secured by the eight exposed screws that have become a Cartier hallmark. This two-tone "Or et Acier" (steel and gold) motif continues onto the original integrated bracelet, offering a look that is both robust and elegant. The watch features the quintessential Cartier dial: a crisp white background, black Roman numerals, and a "chemin de fer" minute track. Time is indicated by elegant blued-steel sword hands, and a practical date window is positioned at 3 o'clock. This automatic, self-winding reference is presented in good vintage condition. It exhibits time marks and signs of wear, as would be expected from a cherished timepiece of this era, adding to its authentic character.
