Watch review: Cartier’s iconic watch Santos series originated in 1904. At that time, Louis Cartier made a watch for his friend, the famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, a pioneer in flight, that was easy to read during flight. This series of watches has always adhered to the design of simple style, well-proportioned proportions and exquisite details. The watch is made of fine steel case with a diameter of 39.8 mm. It is a large model in the series. A multi-faceted black synthetic spinel is inlaid on the top of the side watch. The bezel is made of ADLC carbon coating instead of crystalline diamond-like carbon coating. The outer edge of the gray dial has a sunray finish, and the orbital minute scale has a brushed finish. The luminous sword-shaped blue steel hands are equipped with large Roman numerals to indicate the time, and there is also a calendar display window at six o'clock. The watch is equipped with a Cartier 1847 MC workshop-refined self-winding mechanical movement, which can provide a 42-hour power reserve when fully wound. The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet equipped with a SmartLink metal bracelet adjustment system. Cartier also comes with a black rubber strap and an interchangeable stainless steel folding clasp. Both bracelets are equipped with a QuickSwitch strap quick replacement system, which can be quickly removed to meet different wearing needs.

Watch review: Omega updated the Seamaster 300-meter diving watch in 2018 and gave it many new plans. The watch in the picture is made of fine steel for its case, with a diameter upgraded to 42 mm. The watch is made of fine steel for its case, and the one-way rotating bezel is made of blue ceramic and decorated with a white enamel diving scale. The dial is also made of ceramic material, which is treated with PVD to form a metallic chrome gray. Omega then uses laser to engrave the ripple pattern and show the luster of solar rays. There is a calendar display window at 6 o'clock on the dial. The hollow hands and embossed hour scales are decorated with blue and rhodium-plated, and are coated with white luminous coating, so that the watch can still be clearly read even in dim underwater light environments. The conical helium escape valve in the upper left corner is very convenient for divers to operate. Omega has equipped the updated Seamaster 300 series with an 8800 self-winding Master Chronometer movement. This movement can provide a 55-hour power reserve, can also withstand a strong magnetic field of 15,000 Gauss, and is waterproof to 300 meters. The watch is equipped with a stainless steel bracelet, and Omega also provides a variety of straps to choose from, such as rubber, woven, polyester, nylon and other material straps to meet different wearing needs.

Watch comments: As early as 1895, TAG Heuer has been involved in the field of underwater sports and has achieved considerable success. The ultimate sports watch was inspired by water sports. The entire watch is made of fine steel. The thickness and strength of the metal make the watch more refined and high-quality. The dial is composed of white and gray, with fluorescent markers and hand-applied faceted hour markers that are the same color as the dial. There is a calendar display at three o'clock. The unique metal texture of the watch, its solid and durable nature, and its seamless materials and colors bring a healthy and unique atmosphere, which makes it "bringing its own aura" when worn in any occasion.
