Powered by Cartier's manufacture Caliber 1847 MC — a mechanical movement with automatic winding — the Santos Dumont WSSA0013 houses its movement within a 39.8mm steel case measuring 9.08mm thick. The crown is 7-sided and set with a faceted synthetic spinel, while a sapphire crystal protects the graduated blue dial beneath. Sword-shaped steel hands complete the face of the watch.
Two wearing options come included via Cartier's QuickSwitch interchangeability system: a steel bracelet featuring the SmartLink adjustment system for easy sizing, and a navy blue calfskin strap fitted with a steel double adjustable folding buckle. Switching between the two requires no tools and takes only moments.
The watch is water resistant to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), making it a capable companion in a range of everyday situations. Reference WSSA0013 represents the large model in the Santos Dumont family, combining classic Santos design cues with modern convenience features.
