Cartier Santos de Cartier WSSA0018

This Santos reference combines a steel case with rounded corners, a silvered dial and Roman numerals. Its practical appeal extends beyond appearance: the bracelet design makes sizing and switching between the metal bracelet and leather strap easier.

SmartLink for sizing

This system adjusts the metal bracelet links. Its purpose differs from the system used to change the whole bracelet.

QuickSwitch for a new look

It makes switching between compatible bracelets and straps easier. It does not mean any strap from any watch will fit this reference.

Dimensions matter more than the word Large

Compare length, width and thickness, not width alone. Dimensions describe the case, while the feel on the wrist also depends on its shape and size.
