The Cartier Santos is one of those rare watches that feels equally at home with a suit, a T-shirt, or anything in between. Originally designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in watchmaking, and the modern Large model does an excellent job of preserving that heritage while making it genuinely practical for everyday wear.
This 2023 Cartier Santos de Cartier Large, reference WSSA0030, features the signature stainless-steel case and exposed screw bezel paired with Cartier’s silvered opaline dial, Roman numerals, blued-steel sword-shaped hands, and distinctive seven-sided crown set with a synthetic faceted blue spinel. Inside is Cartier’s automatic Calibre 1847 MC, offering a combination of everyday reliability and the convenience of automatic winding.
One of my favorite aspects of the modern Santos is its versatility. Cartier’s QuickSwitch system makes changing between the stainless-steel bracelet and included leather strap incredibly easy, while the SmartLink system allows the bracelet to be sized without traditional tools. This 2023 example is offered as a full set and represents an excellent opportunity to own one of Cartier’s most iconic and wearable modern designs.
