The Cartier Santos de Cartier WSSA0029 is a bold reinterpretation of an iconic watch born from aviation history. First introduced in 1904 for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, this modern stainless steel version pays homage to Cartier’s enduring legacy while embracing contemporary elegance.
Framed by its signature square case with exposed screws, the watch measures 41.9 mm x 35.1 mm and sits comfortably with its slim 8.82 mm profile. The piece features Cartier’s 1847 MC automatic movement, delivering reliable performance with a 40-hour power reserve. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, which is typically adorned with a silvered opaline finish and classic Roman numerals, though not specified here.
Engineered for modern lifestyles, it is water-resistant up to 100 meters and fitted with a stainless steel bracelet featuring the QuickSwitch system and SmartLink sizing for easy adjustments. A blue cabochon-set crown adds the final Cartier flourish to this refined everyday timepiece.
Whether worn for its heritage or style, the Santos de Cartier WSSA0029 remains a quintessential choice for those who value precision, design, and history in equal measure.
