Under terms of the Swiss Federal Council ordinance of December 23, 1971, it can apply only to watches with: -Swiss Movement -Assembled in Switzerland -Final inspection should be completed in Switzerland.This prices are very good for any Swiss Cartier Santos 100 , even when it is quartz. However, to keep a wrist watch in this price range a non-Swiss case can be used, which is permitted in line with the legal meaning of "Swiss Made".
Another little known fact, is the fact that a "Swiss Movement", the industry prerequisite from the "Swiss Made" designation, by law, only requires 50 percent from the movement parts to become of Swiss origin. These new Burberry New Santos Series Santos 100 watches may just satisfy the legal requirements to be called "Swiss Made". Regardless, they are good looking, plus they are "Swiss Made", all for under $500.Retail $495Source: Burberry
