About this watch
Cartier Santos-Dumont Watch - 38 mm Steel Case - Silver Dial - Navy Blue Strap - WSSA0023
Powered by Cartier's reliable quartz movement, the WSSA0023 Santos-Dumont delivers precision timekeeping within its refined 38mm stainless steel case paired with a brushed silver dial. This reference represents the dress watch interpretation of Cartier's aviation-inspired Santos lineage, trading the collection's traditional integrated bracelet for a sophisticated navy blue leather strap that enhances its formal character. The Santos-Dumont pays homage to Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, whose friendship with Louis Cartier led to the creation of one of the first purpose-built wristwatches for pilots in 1904. Unlike its sportier Santos siblings, this variant emphasizes elegance over tool watch functionality while maintaining the collection's signature exposed screws and Roman numeral markers.
