Reference WSSA0096, the Santos de Cartier Large in stainless steel with a black dial, carries that legacy into the present with the same architectural conviction that defined the original. This 2026 example arrives never worn and as a complete full set. Some watches tell time. The Santos made time worth wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 39.8mm stainless steel case retains the Santos’ iconic square silhouette with exposed screws on the bezel and bracelet — an industrial aesthetic that has never required updating because it was correct from the beginning. The black dial with applied Roman numeral hour markers and blued steel hands delivers sharp contrast and immediate legibility. The QuickSwitch interchangeable bracelet and strap system allows effortless transition between the integrated steel bracelet and an alternate strap. Powered by the Cartier Calibre 1847 MC with automatic movement and date function at 6 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santos de Cartier Large in steel with black Roman dial occupies a distinctive position in the modern collector market — the only configuration that balances the Santos’ century-old design language with contemporary wearability. The WSSA0096 with its QuickSwitch system commands consistent demand from collectors who value versatility without compromise. Full-set, never-worn 2026 examples are increasingly scarce. This is a piece that does not wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigner: Cartier\u003cbr\u003eModel: Santos de Cartier Large\u003cbr\u003eReference: WSSA0096\u003cbr\u003eSerial No.: 231489FY\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2026\u003cbr\u003eCase Material: Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003eCase Diameter: 39.8mm\u003cbr\u003eBezel: Smooth — Stainless Steel with exposed screws\u003cbr\u003eDial: Black with Roman numeral hour markers and blued steel hands\u003cbr\u003eBracelet: Integrated stainless steel with QuickSwitch interchangeable system\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Automatic — Calibre 1847 MC\u003cbr\u003eComplications: Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date\u003cbr\u003eWater Resistance: 100m \/ 330ft\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Made in Switzerland\u003cbr\u003eGender: Unisex\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticity: Independently verified before listing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded With Purchase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull set — original Cartier box, papers, warranty card, and all accessories included.
