The CARTIER Santos de Cartier Medium Ref. WGSA0030 is a sophisticated timepiece that combines Cartier’s iconic Santos design with the warmth of an 18-karat gold case. Measuring 35.1mm X 41.9mm and 8.82mm in thickness, the watch presents a refined profile that balances classic proportions with contemporary elegance. It is powered by Cartier’s automatic Calibre 1847 MC movement and features a sapphire crystal for clear protection of the dial.
The watch features a silvered opaline dial accented by Cartier’s signature black Roman numerals and indices. Blued steel sword-shaped hands provide a striking contrast against the light dial, ensuring clear legibility while adding a distinctive touch of color. The case is complemented by a blue spinel-set crown, which is used for date and time adjustments as well as manual winding, adding an elegant detail to the overall design.
For versatility, the watch is supplied with both a folding clasp-fastening bracelet and an additional dark-brown alligator strap with a buckle fastening. The combination allows the watch to transition easily between a more integrated bracelet appearance and the classic character of an alligator leather strap. The rich brown tone of the alligator strap pairs naturally with the warmth of the 18-karat gold case.
Turning the watch over reveals an engraved case back, offering an additional decorative element while housing the automatic mechanical movement. The Cartier Calibre 1847 MC operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and contains 23 jewels. The movement powers the hour, minute, and seconds functions and offers automatic winding, with the option of manual winding through the crown. The watch is rated to 10 bar of water resistance, providing practical everyday protection.
Overall, the CARTIER Santos de Cartier Medium WGSA0030 brings together Cartier’s recognizable Santos aesthetic, precious-metal construction, an elegant silvered opaline dial, and a finely engineered automatic movement. With its interchangeable bracelet and dark-brown alligator strap, 18-karat gold case, blue spinel crown, and refined proportions, it represents a versatile expression of the Santos de Cartier collection.
