The Watch: The original mass-produced wristwatch (and pilot's watch), created for Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, the Santos is a treasure of industrial design. In 1987, the Santos was completely revised, renamed, and relaunched as the Santos Galbée. The case lost its boxy looks and became more curved around the lugs, fitting better on the wrist than both the original Santos and the 1970's Santos Carée.
This is a 2000's era XL (32x45, wears like a Datejust 36) Santos Galbée. With its blued sword hands and slab sides, it cuts a powerful image, but remains elegant on the wrist. Perfect as a daily wear.
Condition: This watch is in used, unpolished condition. It is keeping good time across a day.
