After comparing outputs from multiple manufacturers, the F1 Factory stands out with its new quartz‑movement Santos model. For this reference, both K11 Factory and F1 Factory featured below represent top‑tier options available on the market.

It adopts a CNC three‑stage silver‑plated dial, with railroad‑track‑style markings paired with elongated Roman numeral hour indices. The sun‑ray finish delivers striking visual effect. Just like the genuine piece, it comes with blued steel hands that exhibit a gradient effect as they rotate, delivering a highly appealing look.

The factory purchased genuine men’s and women’s pair‑set watches as references. 3D‑scanning is used for mould development to ensure case dimensions match the originals exactly. The men’s model measures 43 mm (vertical), while the ladies’ version is 38 mm (vertical). It features deeply‑customized 1:1 exterior replication, followed by precision machining on German‑made CNC equipment.

Few manufacturers pay attention to the watch inner housing. This factory uses a solid inner housing, with CNC‑machined cutouts to secure the movement, pursuing superior craftsmanship. Mass‑market generic replicas normally use cheap plastic inner shields, resulting in unsatisfactory overall weight when worn on the wrist.

Fine engravings and precise positioning notches on the inner housing are carefully executed. Based on the original Cartier quartz movement, F1 fits an imported oval‑shaped movement.

The buckle is a signature Cartier pin buckle, 1:1 moulded after the original.
