Cartier WSSA0022 Santos-Dumont SS Silver Dial

The Cartier WSSA0022 Santos-Dumont stands as a contemporary homage to one of horology’s most iconic silhouettes, originally created in honor of aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. This large model elegantly blends historic design with modern execution, presented in stainless steel and paired with a beautifully textured, satin-brushed silver dial. The Roman numerals and blue sword-shaped hands are a nod to Cartier’s classic aesthetic, while the beaded crown set with a blue synthetic cabochon adds a touch of refined distinction. Powering the watch is Cartier’s high-autonomy quartz movement, offering reliable precision and extended battery life of approximately six years—ideal for collectors seeking both ease of ownership and sophistication. At just 7.3 mm thick, the Santos-Dumont wears effortlessly and slips comfortably under any cuff, yet its substantial case size ensures pronounced wrist presence and visibility. The brancards and square bezel reference Cartier’s storied design codes, enhancing its collector appeal. While not a limited edition, this reference is widely respected for its blend of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary wearability. With 30-meter water resistance, it remains a dress piece, perfect for connoisseurs of classic elegance and modern practicality alike. Finished on a blue alligator strap, it delivers a distinguished look that stands out in the world of luxury timepieces. Like New with Cartier box and papers dated 2020.
