Quick TakeThe Santos de Cartier Skeleton in stainless steel and blue is an absolute stunner. It's not just a watch; it's a miniature work of art that you can wear on your wrist. The skeletonized dial is a mesmerizing spectacle, revealing the intricate inner workings of the watch in all their glory. The blue accents add a touch of vibrancy to the otherwise cool steel, creating a watch that's both sophisticated and fun. It's a watch that's sure to turn heads and spark conversations, and it's the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and bold design. This Santos is an icon reimagined for the modern age, a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation.

DescriptionCrafted in stainless steel, the Santos de Cartier Skeleton watch WHSA0026 showcases a 39.8mm case that measures 9.08mm in thickness, making it a substantial yet comfortable timepiece. The seven-sided crown, a distinctive Santos design element, is set with a sapphire cabochon, adding a touch of luxury. This crown operates the watch's manual winding system, powering the in-house caliber 9611 MC. The skeletonized dial reveals this movement's intricate workings, with bridges forming Roman numerals filled with blue lacquer. These numerals, along with the gray steel sword-shaped hands, provide a stark contrast against the movement's backdrop, enhancing legibility. The case back, also made of sapphire crystal, allows for further admiration of the movement, which consists of 138 parts including 20 rubies.

The movement itself, measuring 28mm x 28mm and 3.97mm thick, beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and boasts a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It's a testament to Cartier's watchmaking prowess, showcasing both technical skill and artistic flair. The Santos de Cartier Skeleton is not just a timepiece; it's a mechanical sculpture. The watch is water-resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters or 330 feet), ensuring its ability to withstand everyday wear and tear. It comes equipped with a stainless steel bracelet featuring Cartier's SmartLink adjustment system for a perfect fit. Additionally, a second strap in dark blue rubber is included, offering a sportier alternative. Both straps are easily interchangeable thanks to Cartier's QuickSwitch system, further enhancing the watch's versatility. The watch's overall weight and dimensions create a balanced feel on the wrist, while the sapphire crystal provides scratch resistance.
