The Noctambule …
Cartier's 'Santos' skeleton watches are instantly recognisable by the Roman numerals integrated into the bridge and mainplate in this bold Cartier design.
The case looks sleek with it’s diamond-like ADLC-coated stainless steel on the 'Noctambule', or night owl, version and the feature that really stands out is the vivid luminescent detailing. Cartier design team created a very different and modern take on the Santos design, whilst retaining the instantly recognisable Santos silhouette.
The Swiss-made calibre 9612 MC hand-wound movement consists of 138 parts, including 20 jewels, and a 72-hour power reserve. 39.8mm case.
If only Studio 54 was still open in New York, this would be the watch on my wrist tonight !

love this design...
even though this one is a little difficult to read at night as the hands and dial blend together... but that would not bother me the slightest...
Very versatile and …
Lots of different looks by playing with different strap colours and textures. Enjoy !
Yes have contemplated some varieties
But find the original matte croc hard to beat… they have managed to make it near perfect with the case… so have considered ordering croc from them in another color at some point it will happen I reckon
The original matte croc …
Is hard to beat. It also looks looks good on a black ballistic fabric strap or a vibrant colour croc strap for summer.
Your ADLC version of the Santos-Dumont Skeleton is just stunning
and I like it actually much better than the Santos Noctembule, that, to me, looks like a Luna Parc at night. GEO
Here is my white metal Santos-Dumont Skeleton
Pretty discrete for a skeleton model. GEO ...
That one is a killer
Would look amazing on a Cartier custom colored strap as well… but the original version is probably the best as it is… at least that is how I feel about mine
You are so right
If the hands were done in a different shade of Luminova, the problem would have sold.
Possibly
But I can appreciate the way it is… honestly lot of my favorite timepieces are not legibility concerned )

And every other night! I never thought about wearing a lumed watch in a black light environment before. Thanks for the inspiration.
Titanium Plus DLC....very unCartier
Celebrating my 9th anniversary with this watch.... Best, Horo ...
I think it is über cool
The ADLC coating on the non-bezel case makes the watch so 'less is more'. GEO
Yes!!
I finally joined you on one of these after contemplating for about half a decade
Congrats!!!
Still my fav Cartier even after so many new hits from the maison Best, Horo
