About the Cartier Santos – Ref. W2SA0016 (Steel & Yellow Gold / Silvered Opaline Dial / Medium Model):
Originally conceived in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos is one of the earliest purpose-built wristwatches in horological history. This modern Santos de Cartier Medium reference W2SA0016 preserves the model’s defining design elements, including the square case with rounded corners, exposed screws, and integrated bracelet architecture. The steel case is paired with an 18K yellow gold bezel, creating a classic two-tone aesthetic. Power comes from Cartier’s in-house Caliber 1847 MC automatic movement, featuring a small seconds sub-dial for added functionality. With interchangeable bracelet options and 100 meters of water resistance, this Santos balances historical design with contemporary versatility.
