Overview
The Santos de Cartier Large in graduated green dial is a contemporary expression of one of horology's most storied designs. Introduced in 2023, the 39.8 mm stainless steel case houses Cartier's in-house Calibre 1847 MC and presents the signature Santos architecture — exposed screws, integrated bracelet option, and Roman numeral chapter ring — in a richly toned graduated green dial. The result is a dress watch that balances historical gravitas with a distinctly modern sensibility.
History
The Santos de Cartier traces its lineage to the early twentieth century, when Louis Cartier designed a wristwatch for Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont — widely regarded as one of the first purpose-built wristwatches for a gentleman. The large case format has long been the collector-preferred proportion within the Santos family, and the introduction of the graduated green dial in 2023 reflects the broader industry embrace of expressive colour while remaining faithful to the model's architectural DNA. The reference WSSA0062 joins a lineage that has been continuously refined since the Santos was relaunched in its modern guise in the late 2010s.
