AF Factory Cartier WGSA0018 Top-tier Replica Watches

The Cartier Santos series was born in 1904 and has been regarded as the world’s first truly modern wristwatch. It was specially designed for the aviator Albert Santos-Dumont. It features a very distinctive square case, exposed screws, and an integrated metal bracelet. Today, we are going to talk about the AF factory’s Cartier Santos WGSA0018 replica watch.

The design of a square case and exposed screws

This replica watch features a very distinct and unique geometric feel in its appearance. It abandons the conventional circular shape and adopts a classic square-shaped case with a side length of approximately 40 millimeters. This square array is not at all stiff; its edges have very smooth arcs, perfectly blending a sense of power and comfort. AF Factory, through the rose gold electroplating process, presents a warm and textured metallic luster. The sides and front of the case have undergone alternating treatments of brushing and polishing, presenting a very rich gradation of light and shadow. There are eight exposed screws on the bezel, which is very distinctive and highly recognizable. This design is derived from the rivet structure of early aircraft and has a very industrial functional aesthetic flavor. AF Factory has made the arrangement of these screws and the treatment of the grooves particularly regular. The thickness is 9.3 millimeters, which is well controlled and has a very good fit, making it highly noticeable.

A white enamel imitation dial

AF Factory has adopted a white enamel-like technique to create the dial of this watch. The base can present a very warm and delicate milky white color, avoiding the flat feel of cheap paint. On the dial, the deep black three-dimensional Roman numeral hour markers are very classic. The sword-shaped hands in the center have been treated with a bluing process, which can refract a very deep royal blue glow under the light, forming an elegant visual triangle with the white dial and the golden case. At the 6 o ‘clock position, there is a calendar window, adding a touch of pragmatism to this classic design. The layout of the entire dial is very clear and symmetrical, and it is also easy to read at a glance.

Is the performance of automatic mechanical movements reliable

This replica watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement modified from a Citizen movement. It can provide us with very stable and reliable timekeeping, the date switching function is also realized, and it has a power reserve of 40 hours. For a design-driven watch like Santos, a movement that operates quietly and is easy to maintain is the most suitable choice, allowing us to enjoy its design features without any burden. Another major feature of the Depth series is the metal chain that is integrated with the case. AF factory has restored a very classic link design, and the connection between the links is very smooth, providing a very comfortable wearing experience. The folding clasp opens and closes very crisp, and the engravings are very clear. Compared with the leather strap version, the metal chain strap is more sporty and integrated, perfectly restoring that tool-like attribute and modernity. This watch is also equipped with a sapphire crystal with a double-sided anti-glare coating, which is highly transparent and extremely wear-resistant. It ensures that the dial remains clear and legible under any light conditions. Even after long-term wearing, it still looks as good as new. It also has a 30-meter water resistance rating for daily use.

This Cartier Santos replica watch from AF factory has successfully integrated the core features of the Santos series, such as the iconic square case, industrial exposed screws, classic white dial Roman numerals, and one-piece bracelet, into a solidly crafted piece. If this design language that combines geometric beauty with modern casual style is exactly what you like, then this watch offers an extremely attractive way to own it.
