History of the Cartier Santos WSSA0062

The Cartier Santos is one of the most historically significant wristwatches, originally created in 1904 by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, making it one of the world’s first men's wristwatches designed for practical use. Over a century later, the Santos remains an enduring icon of design, blending timeless elegance with modern innovation.

The WSSA0062, introduced in Cartier’s recent collections, presents a bold and contemporary interpretation of the Santos with its distinctive green sunburst dial—a striking departure from traditional monochrome palettes. This model combines Cartier’s classic design language with fresh, vibrant color that appeals to collectors seeking uniqueness and style.
