Cartier WHSA0026 Santos de Cartier SS Skeleton Dial

The Cartier Santos de Cartier Steel Skeleton Dial (Ref. WHSA0026) is a compelling modern expression of Cartier’s pioneering wristwatch heritage, released circa 2024. Offered in a large model with a 39.8 mm steel case and a slender 9.08 mm profile, it houses the in‑house manual‑winding Caliber 9611 MC, delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The open‑worked bridges form Roman numerals coated in blue lacquer, revealing the movement’s 138 components and 20 jewels, while the seven‑sided crown set with a sapphire adds a signature Cartier flourish. Water‑resistant to 100 meters, this skeletonized Santos balances technical robustness with refined aesthetics. Its dual‑strap system—steel bracelet with SmartLink adjustment and dark blue rubber strap via QuickSwitch—enhances versatility and modern wearability. As a contemporary reinterpretation of the original 1904 aviator’s watch, this piece stands out for its architectural skeleton design, Manufacture movement, and collector appeal in the Santos line.
