Santos de Cartier

The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model reference WHSA0026 is a contemporary and bold interpretation of one of the most iconic wristwatches in horological history. Originally created in 1904, the Santos remains a cornerstone of Cartier watchmaking, blending aviation heritage with modern design and technical refinement.

This Large Model features a 39.8 mm stainless steel case, enhanced by a black ADLC-coated bezel that gives the watch a distinctive and sporty character. The contrast between polished steel and the matte black bezel highlights the geometric lines of the Santos case, while the exposed screws on the bezel remain a signature design element of the collection. The crown is set with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon, consistent with Cartier’s iconic aesthetic codes.

The dial showcases a refined green sunray finish, adorned with white Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands treated with luminescent material for enhanced legibility. The date display at 6 o’clock integrates harmoniously into the dial, preserving balance and clarity.

This timepiece is powered by the Cartier in-house automatic calibre 1847 MC, known for its reliability and robustness. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours, making it well suited for daily wear. The watch is fitted with Cartier’s QuickSwitch system, allowing easy strap changes, and is typically delivered with both a steel bracelet and an additional strap.

This certified pre-owned luxury watch is offered in very good condition, showing only light signs of wear consistent with careful use. It is accompanied by its original Cartier box and original papers, making it a desirable full set.

A bold yet elegant pre-owned luxury watch, the Cartier Santos de Cartier WHSA0026 is an excellent choice for collectors seeking a modern Santos with strong character and unmistakable Cartier identity.
