ZILÈNNE Santos

The gold variants feature a premium PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating over 316L stainless steel. PVD is used by luxury watch houses because it bonds at a molecular level to the steel, making it significantly more durable than traditional gold plating. It will not chip, peel, or rub off with daily wear. The silver variants are the natural brushed finish of the stainless steel itself.

No. 316L stainless steel is specifically engineered to resist tarnishing, rust, and corrosion. This is the same grade of steel used in surgical instruments and marine equipment. Combined with the PVD coating on gold variants, your Santos will maintain its original appearance for years with basic care. Simply wipe with a soft cloth after wear to keep it looking new.

The Santos is splash-proof and perfectly fine for handwashing or getting caught in the rain. However, we recommend removing it before showering, swimming, or submerging in water. Prolonged exposure to soap, chlorine, or saltwater can affect any watch over time, regardless of price point. Treat it with care and it will last.

The Santos arrives at full length (22 cm) and is designed to be easily resized at home. The seven-link bracelet uses standard removable links that can be adjusted with basic link-removal tools in under two minutes. No jeweler visit needed. Most wrists require removing 2 to 4 links for a comfortable fit.

316L is the specific grade of stainless steel used by Swiss watchmakers including the largest names in the industry. It contains molybdenum, which gives it superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel. "Swiss-Grade" refers to this material specification, not the country of assembly. We use the same alloy because there is simply no better steel for a watch that is meant to be worn every day.

Traditional watch brands spend heavily on retail showrooms, celebrity endorsements, and multi-layer distribution. We sell directly to you with no middlemen, no department store markups, and no advertising budgets that get passed on to the customer. The materials and craftsmanship are premium. What you are not paying for is the overhead.

The Santos is one of our most gifted pieces. If the color or fit is not right, our 30-day return policy means she can exchange it for a different variant at no extra cost. We also offer free EU return labels, so there is zero risk for you or the person receiving it.

Our guarantee covers all manufacturing defects in the movement, case, dial, and bracelet under normal conditions of use for eight full years from the date of purchase. If your Santos stops working or develops a defect, we will repair or replace it at no cost. Simply contact our team with your order number and we handle everything from there. Cosmetic wear from daily use is not covered, as that is the natural character a watch develops over time.

The Japanese quartz movement is powered by a standard watch battery that lasts over two years under normal use. When the time comes, any local watch shop or jeweler can replace it in minutes for a few euros. This is the same type of battery replacement process used across the entire quartz watch industry.

The Santos is available in six variants across two bracelet finishes. The gold collection (White, Black, Green, and Pink dials) features a warm PVD gold-tone bracelet and case. The silver collection (White and Black dials) has the natural polished steel finish. All variants share the same case dimensions, movement, and bracelet construction. The only difference is the color combination, so choose whichever speaks to you.
