Just like every Galbee, this sizable dress watch is fashioned based on the brand’s classic original 1904 Santos’s design, refined with a bit of modern touch. Of course, compared to its "ancestor", this one is way more durable and reliable, thanks to the toughness of its high quality materials as well as current technology advance.
This fashionable timepiece comes with a fine brushed and polished premium grade stainless steel rectangle case, with a shiny stationary square (23.5mm) bezel that is made of solid 18K Yellow gold which secured by eight silver-tone screws. This case measures 26mm × 34mm and around 6 mm thick, which upfront, is covered with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal to makes it even more durable. It has a solid case back, and at the right hand side, there is an octagonal crown that is set with a faceted spinel cabochon.
Furthermore, its sturdy yet comfortable fine brushed steel link bracelet that is decorated with an 18K yellow gold screws accent is around 14 mm wide, and it comes equipped with a hidden deployment folding clasp. This bracelet has 5 of removable link, which makes it adjustable for about one and a quarter inches.
Just like its "three-hands date" variant, this Cartier W20012C4 Santos Galbee is a battery operated watch, in which, its Cartier Calibre 157 fitted inside is much simple with only two-hands. Despite of its simplicity, Caliber 157 is a finely tuned Swiss Quartz movement that is both accurate and reliable, and specifically, this battery powered 4 jewels calibre is rated, capable to provides up to 3 years of battery life.
Its functionality are nicely displayed by the timepiece’s minimalist Silvered opaline White dial that features sword-shaped blued steel hands, Black italicized roman numeral markers, and printed markers around the inner rim. In addition to be highly scratch resistant, the sapphire atop this dial is also glare proofed. Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this women’s polished steel gold on steel luxury wrist watch is reasonably priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $6,500.00.
