Created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who wanted to read the time while flying his aircraft, the Santos is widely regarded as one of the first wristwatches ever produced. This reference was designed and released specifically for the Gulf market, with the distinctive green dial featuring Hindu-Arabic numerals that give the watch its unmistakable regional character.
