Cartier Santos Quartz Men

Key Distinguishers & Counterfeit Indicators

• Quartz Movement Label: Genuine Santos models featuring this modern, integrated steel bracelet design and green sunray dial (e.g., Ref. WSSA0061 / WSSA0062) are exclusively powered by Cartier's in-house automatic movements (1847 MC). Authentic versions do not feature the word "QUARTZ" printed on the dial.

• Layout Mismatch: On authentic green-dial models:

  • The Medium model (no date) has no date window at 6 o'clock.

  • The Large model features a date window at 6 o'clock, but the dial is powered by an automatic movement (not quartz) and does not display the word "QUARTZ".

• Execution & Finishing: The bezel, screw details, fonts, and Roman numeral print lack the crisp metal-finishing and high-grade printing standards seen in authentic Cartier manufacture pieces.
