Watch Info
Manufacturer: Cartier
Model: Santos de Cartier Large
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: WSSA0089
Year: 2026
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Cartier presentation box, April 2026 warranty card, all original documentation, titanium bracelet, and nubuck alligator leather strap with interchangeable steel deployant buckle. Note: The leather strap is unworn.
Notes: The WSSA0089 is the Santos de Cartier Large in grade 23 titanium — a reference that brings one of the most historically significant watch designs in the history of horology into a material more commonly associated with aerospace and high-performance engineering. The Santos is not merely an icon; it is the world's first purpose-built wristwatch, created by Louis Cartier in 1904 for his friend the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed to read the time without releasing the controls of his aircraft. The titanium configuration takes the Santos's aviation heritage and renders it in its most materially appropriate form — the bead-blasted grade 23 titanium case and bracelet are featherlight on the wrist, the matte surface absorbs light with a tactile quality that polished or brushed steel cannot replicate, and the result is a watch of exceptional presence without exceptional weight. The silvered opaline dial with Roman numeral chapter ring and blued steel sword-shaped hands is quintessential Cartier — clean, immediately legible, and entirely timeless. The QuickSwitch interchangeable strap system allows effortless transition between the titanium bracelet and the included nubuck alligator leather strap without tools.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This April 2026 example has been carefully worn and presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. The titanium case and bracelet retain strong original bead-blasted finishing consistent with careful use.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The silvered opaline dial is pristine with no marks, scratches, or discoloration. The Roman numeral chapter ring and blued steel sword-shaped hands are in perfect condition. The sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 39.8mm grade 23 titanium case retains its factory bead-blasted matte finish throughout. The exposed screw heads on the bezel — the Santos's most recognizable design element — are in perfect condition, crisp and well-defined. The case flanks show only light, honest marks consistent with careful use.
Bracelet, Strap & Clasp: The integrated titanium bracelet is in excellent condition with minimal surface marks consistent with careful use. The integrated steel clasp functions perfectly. The nubuck alligator leather strap is in unworn condition with no signs of wear or creasing. The interchangeable steel deployant buckle is pristine.

Why the Santos Titanium is Cartier's Most Compelling Sport Watch
The Santos de Cartier is not a watch that needs to borrow credibility from its complications or its material — it carries 120 years of uninterrupted heritage as the founding reference of the modern wristwatch. What the titanium configuration adds to that foundation is a material coherence that the steel version, for all its appeal, cannot fully claim. Aviation gave us titanium as a structural material; the Santos was born in aviation; the combination is not a marketing exercise but a genuinely logical expression of the reference's DNA.
The April 2026 complete set example — including an unworn leather strap — represents one of the most complete and freshest WSSA0089 examples currently available on the secondary market. The QuickSwitch system means the next owner inherits two distinct wearing experiences from day one. For the collector who wants a piece of genuine horological history in its most materially purposeful modern expression, the Santos titanium is the answer.
