Description
The Santos de Cartier watch, model WSSA0037, is a remarkable timepiece that embodies the spirit of innovation and friendship rooted in its history. Created in 1904 at the behest of Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont, this watch represents one of the earliest wristwatches designed to meet the needs of pilots, allowing them to tell time while flying. The distinctive design features rounded angles on the dial and a seamless curve of the lugs that contribute to its timeless appeal, complemented by exposed screws that add to its iconic aesthetic.
This particular model boasts a 39.8mm stainless steel case, which is both sturdy and elegant, encapsulating the watch’s sophisticated yet functional design. The stainless steel bracelet is equipped with Cartier’s innovative “SmartLink” adjustment system, which allows for easy resizing without the need for additional tools, secured with a deployment buckle for a secure fit. The fixed bezel is crafted from ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) steel, enhancing the watch’s durability and giving it a contemporary edge.
The grey dial of the Santos de Cartier features luminescent steel sword-shaped hands that provide excellent legibility in various lighting conditions, alongside classic steel Roman numerals that mark the hours. A date window at the 6 o’clock position adds practicality to the watch’s design. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, known for its scratch resistance and clarity, ensuring that the face of the watch remains pristine.
Powering this elegant timepiece is the self-winding mechanical movement, Cartier Caliber 1847 Mc, which boasts a power reserve of 40 hours, allowing the watch to maintain its precision without the need for frequent winding. Additionally, the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for a variety of activities, both casual and formal. The pull/push steel crown, adorned with a faceted black synthetic spinel, adds a touch of sophistication and serves as a functional element for adjusting the time.
Overall, the Santos de Cartier WSSA0037 is not just a watch but a symbol of the pioneering spirit of its creators, seamlessly blending heritage with modern craftsmanship.
