Cartier Santos-Dumont XL Steel & Silver Dial Leather Strap WSSA0032

The Cartier Santos Dumont XL Steel & Silver Dial Leather Strap Watch (WSSA0032) is a striking tribute to timeless elegance and aviation history. Measuring 46.6mm x 33.9mm, the case is crafted from robust stainless steel, finished in the iconic square design pioneered by Louis Cartier in 1904 for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont. The silvered sunray dial provides a refined stage for bold black Roman numerals and Cartier’s signature blued steel hands, while decorative screws on the bezel highlight the watch’s unmistakable identity. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating safeguards the dial, complemented by a beaded crown set with a scintillating round brilliant-cut diamond for a touch of luxury.

Inside, the manual-winding calibre 430 MC powers the timepiece, delivering a 36-hour power reserve with meticulous precision. The watch is completed by a deep blue alligator leather strap secured with a steel ardillon buckle, offering both durability and sophistication. Water resistant to 30 meters, the Santos Dumont XL combines enduring craftsmanship with refined style. With Cartier’s 2-year international guarantee, extendable to 8 years upon registration, this model exemplifies the maison’s dedication to excellence and its legacy of pioneering design in men’s luxury watches.
