Cartier Santos De Cartier Medium Blue Dial WSSA0063
The Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium Blue Dial (Ref. WSSA0063), a stunning and vibrant execution of the world’s very first purpose-built men’s wrist instrument. While it honors the legendary 1904 square geometry created for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, this modern reference breaks from traditional Cartier design conventions to deliver a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Crafted in a beautifully proportioned medium steel case, it offers an exceptionally elegant, low-profile fit that effortlessly slides under any cuff.
The defining feature of this timepiece is its spectacular smoky blue dial, featuring a graduated sunray finish that shifts from a brilliant royal blue in the center to a deep, near-black indigo around the perimeter. Unlike traditional white-dial Santos models that rely on printed markers, the WSSA0063 utilizes raised, mirror-polished applied metallic Roman numerals that give the dial stunning three-dimensional depth. Furthermore, the rhodium-finished sword hands are filled with factory Super-LumiNova, offering a highly practical touch of low-light legibility that is rare for classic Cartier styling.
Engineered for the modern collector, the watch is equipped with Cartier’s brilliant, proprietary QuickSwitch system, allowing you to instantly swap between the brushed steel bracelet and an included navy blue alligator leather strap with the simple press of a button. The steel bracelet also features the tool-free SmartLink sizing system, making adjustment an effortless, self-sufficient process. Powering the watch is the ultra-reliable, in-house Calibre 1847 MC automatic movement, boasting robust anti-magnetic shielding and housed in a case rated to 100 meters of water resistance.
Presented in polished condition, this captivating chameleon of a watch delivers the ultimate blend of historic industrial design and modern luxury.This complete collector's set is meticulously preserved and comes ready for its next owner with the inner and outer boxes, booklets, and original Cartier warranty card included.
