The Santos collection dates to 1904, when Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont — a heritage that continues to define this reference more than a century later. The WSSA0063 presents that legacy in a 35mm square steel case, retaining the fixed bezel and signature 7-sided crown set with a synthetic faceted blue spinel that Cartier has long made its own.
The blue dial is marked with Roman numeral hour markers and read by luminescent silver-tone hands, keeping the display clean and immediately legible. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the face, while the steel bracelet fastens with a fold clasp for a secure fit on the wrist.
Powering the watch is an automatic movement offering hour, minute, and second functions — Swiss made and suited to daily wear. This example is accompanied by its original box and papers, adding to its completeness as a collectible and wearable piece.
