It's hard to imagine the Cartier watch world without it and one of the most popular and sought-after models is the Santos de Cartier. Once the first pilot's watch, with a leather strap and metal clasp, it was developed by Luis de Cartier for his pilot friend, Alberto Santos-Dumont, with its unique and previously unseen square shape. Today, thanks to its versatility, it is a constant companion in all everyday situations.
Inside the steel case ticks the self-winding manufacture movement Caliber 1847 MC with a power reserve of around 40 hours and a water resistance of up to 10 bar. The square steel case has a width of 39.8 mm. The Santos de Cartier WSSA0047 is protected against magnetic fields of up to 1200 Gauss. The steel bracelet can be shortened very easily using the Smart Link system. It is delivered with the steel bracelet and has an additional blue rubber strap with folding clasp. Both straps are equipped with the new QuickSwitch strap changing system, which allows the straps and optics to be changed quickly and easily.
The Santos de Cartier reference WSSA0047 large model has a gray striped dial, blue Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands, both with a luminous coating. The bezel has a blue PVD coating. The faceted blue synthetic spinel on the crown should not be missing. Both the stainless steel bracelet and the blue rubber bracelet have the typical Santos de Cartier screws on the elements. The scope of delivery also includes the folding clasp for the rubber strap and the appropriate tool for changing the strap and for the SmartLink system. The date window is at 6 o'clock.
