 |
|
I bought this Santos around 1979. At the time I'd just sold a Moto Guzzi Le Mans motorbike and had some spare cash. It's got a nice automatic movement and goes well under a dress shirt. I wore it last night when we got dressed up for the 18th birthday party of sandhappy's deldest daughter Callie (pronunced Kally). I'd promised to post pictures a few weeks ago and never got round to it so here's a quick wrist shot.

Nice classic watch... 
What movement is inside if I might ask?

When I bought the watch I was told it was a Jaeger movement but I'm a bit dubious about that. I think I'll have to do some research and get back to you.  |

So far all I can get is sites selling watches and anything close to it is classed as "Cartier Automatic Movement". Someone somewhere will know the answer so I'll keep looking.   |

Wondering if there is a modified ETA inside...

Some of the later models were certainly modified ETA, mine was one of the originals so who knows. |

Beautiful Cartier, Adrian.
My wife and I have matching Cartier Tanks, purchased in 1981. I wear mine every once in awhile and always get nice comments on it!

| The tank is a classic Allan, every collection should have one. |
