AF Factory Edition — SmartLink Steel Bracelet
The AF Factory execution of the Cartier Santos Medium WSSA0065 represents a strict adherence to genuine dial metrics and case geometry. Notably, this batch resolves the typographical inconsistencies—frequently cited by collectors as the “floating R” flaw—found in competing releases, establishing a highly accurate baseline for the gradient brown reference.
To achieve the precise 9.3mm case profile of the genuine article, AF utilizes the Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic caliber. This robust, ultra-thin architecture operates at a high-beat 28,800vph, ensuring a smooth sweep of the seconds hand. Power reserve is approximately 36 hours, making it a stable mechanical foundation for daily wear.
Machined from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 35.1mm in diameter and weighs exactly 110.1g, aligning with OEM specifications. The dial features an accurate sunray gradient, transitioning from a warm bronze center to deep tobacco edges, complemented by correct roman numeral proportions and luminescent sword hands.
