Cartier Santos-Dumont WSSA0046 - 2026

A modern interpretation of one of Cartier’s most historically important designs, the Santos-Dumont traces its origins to the wristwatch created by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904.

This large-model WSSA0046 combines a slim stainless steel case with black lacquer detailing, a black square-pattern dial and a hand-wound mechanical movement, giving it a more traditional and elegant character than the automatic Santos de Cartier.
