What Makes the Santos WSSA0046 Special

The Cartier Santos de Cartier is a true horological icon, often credited as the first modern men's wristwatch, designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. The WSSA0046, introduced in 2022, is a highly desirable modern iteration. It maintains the crucial design codes—the square case, visible screws, and integrated bezel—while offering essential contemporary enhancements.

The defining feature of this model is its vibrant, graduated blue dial, which adds a sophisticated depth and visual excitement not found in the standard white dial versions. Furthermore, Cartier includes two critical innovations: the QuickSwitch system allows the user to change between the metal bracelet and the rubber strap with a simple button press, and the SmartLink system allows for tool-free bracelet sizing. This 2023, unworn piece offers luxury, history, and unparalleled functionality in a complete, new package.
