A spooky sharp 1990s Cartier Santos "Octagon" ref. 2965 in steel with a rare slate grey dial that has gone ghost, in some lights now you see the Cartier signature and in others you don't, powered by an automatic movement, unpolished and in marvelous condition.

It's Halloween. So it's only natural that this watch makes an appearance to haunt the feed. Introduced in the 1990s as a playful new take on a near century classic, and a response to the Royal Oak, the Cartier octagon references have been great ways to get into a Santos with a twist.

This example sports a rarer slate grey dial fitted in a steel 29mm by 38mm lug to lug case and bracelet that have never been polished and remain razor sharp.
Currently sized to fit a 7.2 inch wrist. It's automatic movement is well and keeping accurate time.
