Cartier Santos – Black Dial – WSSA0039

The Cartier Santos WSSA0039 is a modern reinterpretation of one of the most iconic watch designs ever created. Originally introduced in 1904 as the world’s first purpose-built pilot’s watch, the Santos has remained a symbol of refined engineering and Parisian elegance for over a century.

This reference — featuring a striking black dial, stainless-steel construction, and Cartier’s signature exposed-screw bezel — brings a bold, contemporary edge to the timeless Santos DNA. Its sleek aesthetic, ergonomic case shape, and effortless versatility make it a true everyday luxury piece.

Powered by Cartier’s in-house automatic 1847 MC movement, the WSSA0039 offers reliable performance, smooth winding, and anti-magnetic protection thanks to its nickel-phosphorus components. The brushed and polished steel bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case, while Cartier’s QuickSwitch system allows instant strap changes without tools.

Whether worn for business, weekends, or evening events, the Cartier Santos Black Dial stands out with quiet confidence — a modern classic with unmistakable prestige.
