How to change the date on cartier santos chronograph watch

From what I can tell, the major differences between the watches:

W20011C4: Quartz Movement (battery)
W20058C4: Automatic Movement

W20011C4: Case Thickness - 6.7mm
W20058C4: Case Thickness - 8.3mm

W20011C4: Date at 3:00 position
W20058C4: Date at 6:00 position

W20011C4: Newer Model
W20058C4: Older Model

The W20058C4 is the older watch and will be reflected in the price, as compared to the W20011C4. However, it does have an automatic movement which is much more desirable. It really depends on your taste/budget/preference.

Be very careful about purchasing a secondhand timepiece. There are so many fakes out there. Purchase one from a recognized Cartier dealer or one that guarantees the authenticity of the watch. Do not be lured in by prices that seem too good to be true.

Hello James,

I couldn't find an online documentation of the manual you are looking. But I did find instructions with a video on how to set the date/time of your watch here:

I hope that will help you.

the normal position.the crown must be pushed to its normal position, to wind up your watch. just turn it clockwise

Hi
The watch should have two position on the crown , first position should be for the date second for the main hands.
be careful not to push the button with the crown pulled out as this may alter the hand settings on the chrono.

mcdevito75 here, Best Bet is to look for a small watch repair shop in your area, Most likely another crown and stem will have to be ordered from Cartier.

Only CARTIER itself will solve it. There is no way you can repair it outside CARTIER. Contact CARTIER and ask what the cost would be. Be prepaired to pay a lot.

to set the time and date of cartier watch , full the crown at half setting possition then wind it until the date move push the crown to the normal possition then full the crown twoo times to time setting possition then wind it again until you search the correct time,fush the crown to the normal possition after setting,

The links of this watch require special tools and expertise.it's not like a seiko. you should take it to a cartier jeweler I don't think they would even charge you for that.
