The Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Skeleton is one of the most architecturally and technically ambitious expressions of the Santos ever produced. Taking the iconic silhouette that Louis Cartier created for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904 and removing everything that is not structurally essential to the movement, Cartier has revealed the mechanical soul of the Santos in a way that transforms the watch from a timepiece into a piece of wearable sculpture.
The skeletonised movement is the entire dial. The Roman numeral hour markers — one of the Santos's most recognisable design elements — are formed from the movement's own bridges, their structure both decorative and mechanical simultaneously. The architecture of the manually wound movement is fully exposed through the open case, with the gears, wheels, and ruby jewels visible in their working positions. The Cartier name is retained at the top of the dial — the only text on an otherwise purely mechanical composition. Blued-steel sword-shaped hands sweep across the movement in the signature Cartier colour, providing the only visual reference point against the silver mechanical architecture beneath. Heptagonal sapphire set in the crown. Sapphire crystal and caseback allow the movement to be appreciated from every angle.
The 39mm stainless steel case carries the Santos's signature exposed screws on the bezel — the detail that made the Santos revolutionary at its inception and iconic ever since. The manually wound movement measures 28mm x 28mm, comprising 138 components and 20 ruby jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 72-hour power reserve. The integrated stainless steel bracelet features Cartier's SmartLink size adjustment mechanism and the QuickSwitch interchangeability system, allowing the strap to be swapped without tools. Water resistant to 100 metres.

The Cartier Santos de Cartier in steel and ADLC with black dial is the Santos at its most modern and purposeful. Born from one of the most celebrated moments in watchmaking history — Louis Cartier's 1904 commission for Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed to read the time without releasing the controls of his aircraft — the Santos remains as relevant and as beautifully resolved today as it was at its inception. This is the watch that started it all.
The ADLC treatment — Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon — gives the steel case a deep, matte black finish of extraordinary hardness and scratch resistance. The combination of ADLC-coated steel and polished steel across the case and bezel creates a subtle two-tone effect within a single dark palette that photographs rarely convey accurately — the contrast between the matte black surfaces and the polished bevels becomes most apparent in person. The exposed screws on the bezel — the detail that made the Santos revolutionary in 1904 and iconic for every decade since — are finished in polished steel against the darker case surface. The black dial carries Cartier's signature black steel sword-shaped hands with luminescent material for legibility in any light. Sapphire crystal throughout.
The 39.8mm case at 9.38mm thickness wears with a slenderness that belies its presence — the Santos's distinctive square-cushion silhouette with its seamlessly curved horns sits flat against the wrist with extraordinary comfort. The steel crown is set with a black faceted synthetic spinel in keeping with the all-dark aesthetic. The watch ships with two straps — a black rubber strap and a black alligator leather strap — both equipped with Cartier's QuickSwitch interchangeability system, allowing the wearer to switch between them in seconds without tools. Steel interchangeable deployant buckle. Powered by Cartier's in-house Calibre 1847 MC manufacture automatic movement. Water resistant to 100 metres.

The Cartier Santos-Dumont Extra-Large W2SA0017 is a reinterpretation of one of the most historically significant watches ever made. The Santos was created by Louis Cartier in 1904 for the Brazilian aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont — the world's first wristwatch designed for a man, conceived so that he could read the time without releasing the controls of his aircraft. More than a century later, the Santos-Dumont remains as architecturally compelling and culturally significant as ever.
This extra-large model in the two-tone configuration pairs a polished stainless steel case with an 18ct rose gold bezel — the two-tone combination that Cartier has mastered across decades of production. The 46.6 x 33.9mm rectangular case carries the signature Santos square silhouette with exposed screws on the bezel, clean bevelled edges, and the architectural lines that have defined the reference since its inception. The silver sunray dial is executed with characteristic Cartier restraint — bold black Roman numerals at every hour position, railway minute track at the periphery, and the signature blued-steel sword hands that are among the most recognisable in all of fine watchmaking. The Cartier name sits at 12 o'clock in the classic typeface. The faceted rose gold crown set with a blue cabochon adds the final touch of colour and luxury to the case.
Worn on a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with rose gold ardillon buckle — a pairing that balances the formality of the case with a suppleness and elegance that metal bracelets cannot replicate. The Santos-Dumont is Cartier's dress watch without compromise — thin, elegant, and entirely purposeful.

The Cartier Santos Large WSSA0062 in stainless steel with green dial is one of the most refined expressions of an icon. The Santos is one of the oldest wristwatches in history — and the 2026 edition in this deep green dial proves the design has never been more relevant.
The 40mm stainless steel case carries the signature exposed square screws on the bezel that have defined the Santos since its inception. The green dial adds a richness and depth that the classic white and silver variants simply don't have — it sits differently on the wrist, more considered, more intentional.
Powered by Cartier's automatic movement with a smooth seconds hand and sword-shaped blued steel hands that cut cleanly against the green surface. The Santos' signature interchangeable strap system allows the watch to shift from steel bracelet to leather in seconds — a level of versatility few watches at this level can offer.

The Santos de Cartier is one of the most historically significant watches ever made. Created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a timepiece he could read while piloting his aircraft, the Santos became the first wristwatch designed for practical daily wear — a revolutionary idea at the time. Over a century later, the reference has evolved through numerous iterations while retaining its signature square case, exposed screws, and unmistakable elegance. This medium model in stainless steel represents the modern expression of that storied heritage, combining the watch's iconic design language with contemporary finishing and wearability.
The silver dial is clean and classically appointed, featuring bold Roman numeral markers that honour the watch's century-old design grammar. The movement is an automatic calibre, providing smooth self-winding convenience while delivering the precision expected of a Cartier timepiece. The sapphire crystal offers excellent scratch resistance and long-term clarity.
At 35mm with a case depth of 9mm, the Santos de Cartier Medium occupies a versatile size that works equally well on smaller and medium wrists. The square steel case with steel bezel gives the watch its structural, architectural character, and the integrated steel bracelet — adorned with the Santos's signature visible screws — ensures both security and refinement. It transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend wear.

The Santos Dumont is Cartier's most refined interpretation of the iconic Santos line — a direct tribute to the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, for whom Louis Cartier created the original wristwatch in 1904. Where the standard Santos favours sportiness, the Santos Dumont leans into pure elegance: a slimmer profile, more formal proportions, and an aesthetic that has graced the wrists of collectors who prize understated luxury above all else. This example in 18k rose gold with a skeleton dial represents the pinnacle of that tradition, blending horological craftsmanship with Cartier's unmatched flair for jewellery-grade finishing.
The skeleton dial is the centrepiece of this watch — the movement is fully skeletonised, allowing the intricate mechanics to be admired through the open dial and the exhibition sapphire crystal caseback. The bridges and plates are delicately finished, showcasing Cartier's hand-finishing tradition. The rose gold protected octagonal crown is set with a faceted spinel, a hallmark detail that ties the timepiece unmistakably to the Santos family.
Measuring 38.7mm x 47.4mm, the rectangular 18k rose gold case gives the Santos Dumont its distinctive, elongated silhouette — neither too bold nor too discreet. It sits beautifully on the wrist and transitions with ease from formal occasions to refined everyday wear. The warm rose gold tone pairs naturally with a wide range of straps, and the overall package exudes the kind of quiet confidence that defines a true Cartier collector's piece.

The Santos 100 is the bold, oversized evolution of Cartier's most iconic reference — a watch born from aviation history and refined over more than a century into one of the most recognisable designs in fine watchmaking. Launched in 2004 to mark the centenary of the original Santos, the Santos 100 amplified the classic proportions with a larger, more assertive case while preserving the signature square silhouette, exposed screws, and architectural spirit that have defined the Santos line from the very beginning. Reference W20073X8 in stainless steel represents that legacy at its most wearable and versatile.
The silver dial is clean and uncluttered, with Cartier's characteristic Roman numeral hour markers and a railway-track minute chapter ring, all framed by the Santos's distinctive bezel with its seven visible screws. The protected octagonal crown is set with a faceted spinel, a hallmark of the Santos family. The overall dial composition is a study in legible, confident design — immediately readable and unmistakably Cartier.
The 38mm x 38mm stainless steel case gives the Santos 100 Large its commanding presence — square and substantial without crossing into unwearable territory. It suits a wide range of wrists and works equally well on the integrated bracelet or a leather strap for different occasions. The quality of the steel finishing, alternating between polished and brushed surfaces, reflects Cartier's meticulous attention to case craft, and the overall weight and feel on the wrist communicates quality from the moment you put it on.

The Santos de Cartier Chronograph represents the intersection of Cartier's most iconic design with genuine sporting complication — a watch built not just to be worn, but to be used. Reference WSSA0017 brings the Santos into bold, contemporary territory with a blacked-out ADLC-coated bezel that contrasts sharply against the polished and brushed stainless steel case, giving the piece a purposeful, modern edge while remaining unmistakably Cartier. This is the Santos for collectors who want presence and performance in equal measure.
The dial houses a fully integrated chronograph function, operated via a pusher positioned at 9 o'clock — a signature Santos placement that maintains the clean, symmetrical look of the case rather than interrupting the lines with conventional pushers at 2 and 4. The black ADLC bezel is punctuated by 8 signature screws, a nod to the Santos heritage, while the protected octagonal crown is set with a faceted black synthetic spinel, tying the darker aesthetic together with characteristic Cartier attention to detail.
At 43.3mm x 43.3mm, the Santos Chronograph wears with authority on the wrist — substantial without being excessive, and distinctly square in a sea of round sports watches. The stainless steel case with black ADLC bezel makes it a versatile proposition: equally at home paired with a steel bracelet for a sharp, sporty look or on a leather strap for more dressed-up occasions. For those who want a statement piece from one of watchmaking's most storied houses, this reference delivers.
