History

Cartier reintroduced the Santos de Cartier collection in 2018, and the WSSA0018 is the "Large" execution of that architecture: a 39.8mm stainless steel case built around the model's defining silhouette — a square shape with rounded corners, framed by a bezel fixed with eight visible screws.

Inside the case sits the Calibre 1847 MC, Cartier's in-house automatic movement, delivering roughly 42 hours of power reserve [UNVERIFIED: the specific caliber history of earlier Santos generations is not part of the source data used for this fiche].

On the dial, Cartier keeps the format the Santos is known for: Roman numerals paired with a railway-track minute ring. Covering it is a sapphire crystal.

The most distinctive functional feature of the WSSA0018 sits below the dial: the QuickSwitch/SmartLink system. QuickSwitch lets the owner detach and swap the strap without tools, while SmartLink allows bracelet links to be added or removed by hand.

Water resistance is rated to 100 meters. As of this writing, the reference remains part of Cartier's current catalog and in active production.
