Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium White Watch WSSA0029

The Cartier Santos Medium White 35.1mm (Ref. WSSA0029) honours the revolutionary 1904 collaboration between Louis Cartier and aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont that created one of the first wristwatches specifically for aviation timing needs. The iconic silvered opaline dial with steel sword-shaped hands maintains authentic pioneer heritage whilst the exposed screws and 7-sided crown create instantly recognisable Santos design elements.

At 35.1mm with 8.83mm thickness, this provides refined proportions appropriate for sophisticated daily wear whilst the rounded angles and seamless horn curves honour the original 1904 design. The steel construction with SmartLink bracelet system enables tool-free adjustment whilst the QuickSwitch system allows rapid interchanging between steel bracelet and included calfskin leather strap.

The Calibre 1847 MC delivers Swiss automatic precision with proven reliability for luxury daily wear applications. The self-winding operation provides convenience whilst maintaining the mechanical character essential for authentic luxury timepieces, with sapphire crystal ensuring optimal dial clarity.

The 100m water resistance covers practical daily requirements whilst the authentic aviation heritage provides genuine horological significance beyond superficial pilot watch styling. The included additional leather strap creates versatility for different occasions.

This Santos de Cartier Medium suits collectors seeking authentic wristwatch pioneer heritage with contemporary luxury refinement. The 1904 aviation connection provides genuine horological significance whilst the SmartLink convenience and refined 35.1mm proportions create sophisticated daily wear capability that honours Cartier’s revolutionary contribution to wristwatch development.
