The mythical everyday watch means different things to different people. One of my everyday watches is the Santos Galbee in steel. In fact it is one of my favorites. This is a watch of the seventies and perhaps eighties. The Santos Galbee was launched in 1978 as a steel and gold watch, part of Les Must de Cartier (“I must have a Cartier”). And Gordon Gekko wore a solid gold moon phase model (quartz unfortunately) in Wall Street. But Cartier has kept it up to date with subtle design improvements. This Santos Galbee is the best in my opinion. The case is sleeker, with a flat case back, and a much high quality bracelet. Interestingly the bracelet for this watch was only added in 1978, decades after the original Santos of 1904, yet the bracelet is visually perfect with the case styling.Practical aspects aside, this watch is beautifully executed externally. The case is wonderfully finished with brushed surfaces and polished, bevelled edges. Though it is almost monochrome, the blued hands and sapphire cabochon in the crown give it a rich dash of colour. This watch is a perfect combination of practicality, design, quality, and branding. A perfect everyday watch.
