Cartier WSSA0018 Santos de Cartier Large SS Silvered Opaline Dial 2025

The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0018 is an iconic piece that continues the legacy of one of the first pilot's wristwatches in history, originally designed by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. This modern reference features a robust stainless steel case with a width of 39.8mm and a remarkably slim 9.38mm profile, housing the automatic caliber 1847 MC renowned for its reliability and anti-magnetic properties. The signature square bezel and distinctive exposed screws remain true to Santos tradition, while a sophisticated silvered opaline dial, steel sword-shaped hands, and blue spinel-set crown elevate the aesthetic to quintessential Cartier style. Collectors value the patented "SmartLink" bracelet adjustment and QuickSwitch strap system, offering versatility without compromising the refined design. A depth rating of 100 meters and sapphire crystal guarantee day-to-day durability, making this reference far more than a dress piece. Among seasoned aficionados, the WSSA0018 is celebrated for its seamless blend of historical importance, technical advancement, and everyday practicality. Modern and classic at once, this Santos stands as a cornerstone among contemporary luxury sports watches. Whether as an entry into Cartier or as a stalwart of an established collection, it is a perpetual highlight for any serious collector.
