Cartier expanded the Santos line this year with a new chronograph and a new dial finish with the Santos Gradient Blue, but the coolest addition was undoubtedly the Luxury Replica Santos Skeleton ADLC “Noctambule”. It has luminous paint on the skeletonised movement that glows in the dark.
All-black classic
Santos “Noctambule” is the leader in this series, combining Cartier’s iconic skeleton movement, luminous bottom plate and sporty all-black Santos case.
The shell is stainless steel treated with amorphous diamond-like carbon. ADLC is a hard coating made of diamond, which can improve the scratch resistance of the shell, although it will not make the shell scratch resistant. As in the case of the Cartier Replica Watch ADLC coating, the surface is dark, dark gray instead of pure black, which matches well with the silver gray of the movement.
The skull watch is the symbol of Cartier, especially when the dial and bridge are hollowed out to form Roman numerals. Roman numerals are a typical element of Cartier watches, as well as sword-shaped hands.
When fully charged and lit in the dark, the Cheap Swiss Fake Cartier watch is stunning, but the similar shapes of the hands and Roman numerals may make them indistinguishable.
In terms of decoration, the movement is very meticulous, with vertical brushing on its top surface, echoing the surface of the case, and beveling on all bridges and bottom plates. The finishing is very well done, although it is undoubtedly done with mechanical tools, it is not very noticeable due to the darker color of the movement.
