Originally introduced in 1904, the Cartier Santos is one of the earliest wristwatches ever created and has remained an enduring icon in the history of horology. Designed for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, the model has become synonymous with refined elegance and functional sophistication.
The Santos de Cartier Reference W2SA0009 is a contemporary reinterpretation of this legendary timepiece, offering a harmonious blend of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. The 39.8 mm case features the hallmark square design with softly rounded edges, secured by a bezel adorned with visible screws—a signature aesthetic of the Santos collection.
Powered by Cartier’s in-house caliber 1847 MC automatic movement, the watch features a central time display and a discreet date aperture at 6 o’clock. The silvered opaline dial is enhanced with classic Roman numerals, blued steel sword-shaped hands, and a subtle railway minute track—evoking Cartier’s timeless design language.
This reference comes equipped with Cartier’s "QuickSwitch" interchangeable bracelet system and “SmartLink” adjustment system, allowing for effortless transition between the integrated steel-and-gold bracelet and the included additional leather strap for versatile wear.
The Santos W2SA0009 offers a perfect balance of luxury and everyday wearability, making it a refined addition to any collection of modern or classic watches. It is accompanied by its full suite of accessories, including additional straps, inner and outer presentation boxes, and a guarantee card.
