Cartier Santos Dumont WGSA0083

Introducing the Cartier Santos-Dumont Ref. WGSA0083, an extra-large limited-edition masterpiece restricted to just 200 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Powered by the Manufacture hand-wound 430 MC mechanical movement, it delivers exceptional precision and refinement.

The Cartier Santos-Dumont Ref. WGSA0083 is a remarkable limited-edition timepiece that exemplifies Cartier’s mastery of craftsmanship and design. Produced in just 200 individually numbered pieces, this watch seamlessly blends luxurious materials, historical significance, and contemporary elegance.

Originally introduced in 1904 for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Santos-Dumont collection is one of the earliest wristwatches ever created. Reference WGSA0083 honors this storied legacy while reinterpreting it with refined modern details.

The extra-large 43.5mm case is crafted from polished 18k rose gold, radiating warmth and sophistication. Signature exposed screws on the bezel preserve the collection’s iconic aesthetic, while emphasizing its architectural design.

A defining highlight of this edition is its striking stone dial, whose natural texture and tonal variations ensure that each example is truly unique. Jade indexes add a distinctive and luxurious contrast, underscoring Cartier’s expertise in integrating precious materials. Rose gold apple-shaped hands sweep elegantly across the dial, while the minimalist layout—free of numerals—draws full attention to the dial’s artistry and craftsmanship.

The watch is fitted with a deep green alligator leather strap that harmonizes beautifully with the jade accents, secured by an 18k rose gold ardillon buckle for comfort and security. Powered by a finely crafted mechanical movement and offering practical water resistance, the Santos-Dumont WGSA0083 is as functional as it is refined—an exceptional expression of Cartier’s timeless elegance and innovation.
