A Timeless Classic with a Modern Edge

The Cartier Santos Large WSSA0018 blends heritage and innovation with effortless style. As one of the first wristwatches ever created, the Santos holds a revered place in horological history. However, this modern reference updates the icon with clean lines and contemporary proportions, making it suitable for today’s discerning collector.

Bold Design Meets Enduring Craftsmanship

Crafted in polished stainless steel, this timepiece features a 39.8mm square case with signature exposed screws. While the design pays tribute to the original 1904 model, its modern dimensions create a stronger wrist presence. As a result, the Santos feels both vintage-inspired and forward-looking.

Powered by Precision

Inside the case, Cartier’s in-house Calibre 1847 MC automatic movement ensures accurate timekeeping and a 42-hour power reserve. Because daily wear can take a toll, Cartier protects the dial with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that resists scuffs and maintains clarity.

Engineered for Everyday Comfort

Unlike many traditional watches, this model prioritizes convenience. Cartier’s Smart Link system allows tool-free bracelet adjustment, letting you size it perfectly on the go. Additionally, the Quick Switch feature enables seamless swaps between the metal bracelet and the included leather strap—ideal for changing your look effortlessly.

Functional and Elegant

The square shape makes a striking impression, yet the slim case slides easily under a cuff. Luminous sword-shaped hands enhance visibility in low light, while the date window at 6 o’clock adds practical function. Therefore, the Santos transitions smoothly from day to night.

Classic Cartier Dial Details

Its silvered opaline dial features bold black Roman numerals, giving the watch a timeless, easily readable layout. Moreover, the use of a rail-track chapter ring and polished blued-steel hands adds even more visual interest, reinforcing Cartier’s dedication to refined detail.

A Design Legacy Worth Owning

Because the Santos originated from aviation heritage, it holds a unique place in watchmaking history. Its integrated bracelet hugs the wrist comfortably, combining dress-watch sophistication with sport-watch durability. Consequently, it appeals to a wide range of collectors.
