Why choose this model?
A pioneer re-envisioned.
Originally created in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos was among the first wristwatches built for purpose and form. The WSSA0029 honours this origin with its square steel case, visible screws, and architectural elegance — a design both iconic and accessible.
Versatile execution.
With a case size of 35.1 mm and 8.83 mm thickness, the watch balances presence and subtlety. It comes equipped with two interchangeable options: a brushed steel bracelet with SmartLink adjustment and a calfskin leather strap, both fitted via Cartier’s QuickSwitch system for effortless transformation from casual to formal.
Precision in detail.
Powered by the automatic calibre 1847 MC, the model offers reliable accuracy and durability. A sapphire crystal, 100 m water resistance, and the blue cabochon crown reflect Cartier’s commitment to refined watchmaking beyond mere aesthetics.
Collector’s appeal and investment value.
The WSSA0029 stands out for its modern reinterpretation of a historic model, making it highly relevant for both style-conscious buyers and collectors. With consistent market demand for steel Santos de Cartier models and the versatility of its dual-strap system, this reference represents a smart entry into design-driven heritage timepieces.
