The Cartier Santos Carrée 2961 is a symbol of Cartier’s continued innovation in luxury sports watches. Its automatic movement and balanced design made it a sought-after model, blending the classic aesthetics of the Santos design with modern technical updates. It remains a favorite among collectors who appreciate its retro appeal and significance within the broader Santos family.
The model has become a timeless icon, as Cartier watches often are, balancing history with contemporary design elements.
 
The Santos collection saw various iterations over the decades, but the Santos Carrée emerged in 1978 as part of a significant redesign. The word "Carrée" means "square" in French, and the Santos Carrée marked a shift to a larger, more angular and modern case design. The key features of this version were: A Larger and more rounded square case than previous models. Signature exposed screws on the bezel, which became one of the defining features of the Santos line. An integrated metal bracelet with screw motifs, echoing the screws on the bezel. Available in a combination of metals, including stainless steel and gold.
