Cartier Santos Dumont Large WSSA0085
Overview
The Cartier Santos-Dumont Large WSSA0085 is a graceful continuation of one of Cartier’s most enduring designs — a timepiece that pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of early aviation while embodying the elegance of modern watchmaking. Housed in a stainless steel case with polished finish, this model reflects the slim, architectural lines that defined the original 1904 Santos-Dumont wristwatch. Its ultra-thin profile and refined proportions make it an ideal companion for those who appreciate both history and understated sophistication.
The watch’s silver sunburst dial is radiant yet restrained, catching the light with a subtle play of texture and sheen. Framed by the iconic square bezel with exposed screws, the dial features bold black Roman numerals, a rail-track minute scale, and blued steel sword-shaped hands — timeless Cartier design elements executed with precision. Together, they create a harmonious aesthetic that is both instantly recognisable and deeply refined.
Measuring 43.5mm x 31.4mm, the case wears larger in presence but remains incredibly slim and comfortable thanks to its quartz-powered movement. This high-precision calibre ensures effortless reliability while keeping the watch elegantly thin — a design priority in keeping with the Santos-Dumont’s spirit of innovation and practicality. The blue alligator leather strap complements the palette of the dial and hands, adding a luxurious finishing touch that elevates the overall look.
More than a watch, the Santos-Dumont WSSA0085 is a celebration of Cartier’s legacy in horological design — one that fuses form, function, and heritage into a singular expression of Parisian elegance. Whether worn with formal attire or relaxed tailoring, it delivers timeless appeal with modern ease, making it a compelling choice for the discerning individual who values grace, simplicity, and enduring style.
