The Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium Ref. WSSA0029 is a modern interpretation of one of the world’s most iconic wristwatches. Originally created in 1904 for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos is regarded as one of the earliest purpose-built wristwatches and remains a symbol of timeless elegance and innovation.
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, the WSSA0029 features the collection’s signature square case, exposed bezel screws, silvered opaline dial, and blued-steel sword hands. Powered by Cartier’s in-house automatic movement, it is equally suited for formal occasions and everyday wear.

Why This Watch Stands Out
The Santos de Cartier is one of the most recognizable luxury watches ever created. Its square case with rounded corners, visible screws, and Roman numeral dial have remained defining design elements for over a century, making it instantly recognizable.
The Medium size offers excellent versatility, wearing comfortably on a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining the Santos’ iconic proportions. Inside, the Cartier Caliber 1847 MC provides dependable automatic performance and is protected by anti-magnetic components for improved everyday reliability.
Cartier also equips the WSSA0029 with its innovative QuickSwitch and SmartLink systems, allowing you to change between the stainless steel bracelet and the included leather strap without tools, while easily adjusting bracelet length for a perfect fit.
Elegant enough for formal attire yet sporty enough for daily wear, the Santos de Cartier WSSA0029 remains one of the finest luxury watches for those seeking timeless design, Swiss craftsmanship, and exceptional versatility.
