Santos de Cartier Large Skeleton Black ADLC Ref. WHSA0009

Product Introduction

The Santos de Cartier Large Skeleton Black ADLC Ref. WHSA0009 offers a futuristic and mysterious interpretation of the classic icon. This model features the signature square case crafted from 904L stainless steel, finished in a dark, masculine grey/black tone. Distinct from other models, it is paired with a high-quality grey leather strap with a natural grain texture, enhancing its sophisticated and “stealth” aesthetic. The centerpiece is the skeletonized dial, revealing the intricate Japanese Miyota movement within, where the bridges form the Roman numerals in a matching grey metallic tone.

Story Behind the Watch

Inspired by the Santos lineage dating back to 1904—the first pilot’s wristwatch created for Alberto Santos-Dumont—this Skeleton Black ADLC version reimagines the spirit of conquering the skies with a contemporary design language. It reconstructs the mechanical structure to showcase the movement through a skeleton dial, serving as a tribute to the art of watchmaking. The strong grey tone evokes modern aviation materials, combining modern heritage with Cartier’s tireless innovation in the world of luxury horology.

Design Style

This model showcases a distinct modern, technical, and avant-garde aesthetic. The strap is made of premium grey leather with a natural texture and secure buckle, offering a softer, more refined feel compared to metal bracelets. The bezel features the solid square design with rounded corners, finished with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. The dial is a skeleton design revealing the movement, with grey metallic Roman numeral bridges and blue steel sword hands (as per spec), creating a look that is both mechanically complex and stylishly monochrome.
