The Santos de Cartier collection is one of the most iconic and innovative lines in watch history, Starting with the world's first men's wristwatch, Created by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. Born to solve the inconvenience of using pocket watches during flights, It was officially launched commercially in 1911, Pioneering the popularization of wristwatches. Since then, It has continued to innovate and design for over 100 years, Establishing itself as an iconic collection representing Cartier.
The Cartier Santos de Cartier WSSA0039 is a model featuring a black-coated steel case that adds a modern feel to the Santos design. With a square case measuring 39.8 mm, A slim thickness of 9.38 mm, And water resistance of 100 m, It satisfies both practicality and style.
The black dial is highlighted by white luminous Roman numerals and sword hands, While the screws on the case and strap are accented with polished steel. A black spinel cabochon is set on the crown, Completing Cartier’s signature sensual detail. The straps are available in two types: matte black rubber and black alligator, And can be easily interchanged with the Quick Switch system.
The movement is the in-house automatic Caliber 1847 MC, Boasting a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and excellent reliability. The sapphire crystal glass and black PVD folding buckle add a luxurious finish.
In keeping with the tradition of the Santos collection, This model combines the boldness of the Black ADLC with modern sophistication. The intense black dial and the solidity of steel convey a sense of restrained confidence and urban charm on the wrist.
