The Watch: The Cartier Santos 100 in white rubber and stainless steel isn’t just an uncommon variation, it’s one of the most unconventional and playful takes on the Santos line. Measuring 33mm across and styled with a full white rubber bezel and integrated strap, this reference W20122U2 makes a bold aesthetic statement while keeping the core Santos DNA fully intact.
The stainless steel case features Cartier’s signature exposed screws, here echoed in the matching rubber bezel for an unusual and surprisingly cohesive look. The white rubber strap integrates directly into the case and matches the bezel in tone and texture, giving the watch a seamless silhouette and sporty character. The strap fastens via a steel Cartier buckle.
The dial is unmistakably Cartier: silvered and sunburst-brushed with classic Roman numerals, a railroad minutes track, and sword-style hands. The crystal is sapphire, and the watch is water-resistant to 100m, more than enough for everyday wear.
Inside beats a Swiss automatic movement, providing smooth and reliable timekeeping with all the charm of Cartier’s mechanical offerings from the early 2000s.
Condition: Excellent condition with light wear and some small marks on the rubber.
