Santos de Cartier Large Steel Skeleton Dial Bracelet/Strap Watch
The Santos de Cartier Large Steel Skeleton Dial Bracelet/Strap Watch is a striking fusion of mechanical mastery and timeless design, embodying Cartier’s heritage of bold innovation and architectural elegance. This luxury timepiece pays homage to the original 1904 creation by Louis Cartier for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont—reimagined here with a captivating skeleton dial that blends watchmaking artistry with visual intrigue.
Crafted from polished and satin-brushed stainless steel, the 39.8 mm square case features Cartier’s signature exposed screws, beveled edges, and seamless proportions that sit comfortably on the wrist. At the heart of the watch lies a skeletonized manual-winding movement—Calibre 9611 MC—which not only powers the watch with an impressive 72-hour power reserve, but also forms the dial itself through open-worked bridges shaped as bold Roman numerals.
The distinctive Skeleton Dial gives the wearer a rare, unobstructed view of the inner workings—each gear, jewel, and plate on full display under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The sleek, polished seven-sided crown, set with a faceted blue synthetic spinel, adds an extra layer of Cartier refinement.
Designed for versatility, the Santos de Cartier Skeleton is equipped with Cartier’s revolutionary QuickSwitch™ system, allowing easy swapping between the stainless steel bracelet and the included black alligator leather strap, both featuring the SmartLink™ adjustment system for a perfect fit without tools.
Whether worn for formal occasions or elevated everyday wear, the Santos de Cartier Large Steel Skeleton Dial Bracelet/Strap Watch is more than just a timepiece—it is an open declaration of sophistication, innovation, and Cartier’s enduring design language.
