The Cartier Santos Large WSSA0039 reimagines the classic 39.8 mm square silhouette with a stealth-inspired black ADLC-coated stainless steel case and bezel. The black dial features bold white Roman numeral hour markers and luminous steel sword hands, paired with a date display at 6 o’clock for symmetry and legibility. The screw-secured bezel and crown capped with a black synthetic spinel combine rugged visual weight with luxurious detailing.

Equipped with an interchangeable alligator leather strap via Cartier’s QuickSwitch system, this reference offers versatility for both sporty and refined wear. Water-resistant to 100 m and powered by Cartier’s in-house automatic movement, it delivers day‑to‑day reliability with understated style. Though part of the modern Santos collection, the black ADLC variant remains less common in official channels, making it increasingly sought after by collectors who value minimalist contrast, architectural design, and subtle scarcity.

The Cartier Santos WSSA0039 is a bold, modern update to the classic aviator watch silhouette. Its 39.8 mm stainless steel case is coated in matte black ADLC, giving it a stealthy yet refined appearance. At just 9.38 mm thick, the profile is surprisingly slim. Signature design elements include exposed bezel screws, polished chamfers, and a crown topped with a black synthetic spinel cabochon for architectural flair.

The black dial provides crisp visual balance, with luminous white Roman numerals in Cartier’s chemin de fer layout and sword-shaped hands for superb legibility. A discreet date window at 6 o’clock maintains functional symmetry. Powered by Cartier’s in-house Caliber 1847 MC—an automatic movement offering 42 hours of power reserve—the WSSA0039 delivers reliable performance in a clean, timeless format.

This edition is fitted with a black alligator strap and additional black rubber strap, both easily interchangeable thanks to Cartier’s QuickSwitch system. Water‑resistant to 100 m and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch blends urban edge with everyday wearability. With its architectural presence, monochrome finish, and thoughtful versatility, the WSSA0039 is a standout expression of contemporary Cartier design.
