Cartier Santos Medium Blue Dial Diamond Bezel W4SA0006

The Cartier Santos de Cartier Ref. W4SA0006 is a medium-sized luxury sports watch from Cartier’s historic Santos collection, blending timeless design with refined craftsmanship. It features a 35.1 mm stainless steel case and bracelet and is distinguished by a diamond-set bezel with 206 brilliant-cut stones (~0.64 ct) that frame a striking graduated blue dial with classic Cartier Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands—an elegant mix of sporty form and haute joaillerie accents. The sapphire crystal, signature seven-sided crown with a blue synthetic spinel, and up to 100 m water resistance round out a look that is both luxurious and versatile for everyday wear.

Powering the W4SA0006 is Cartier’s in-house automatic Calibre 1847 MC movement, offering reliable self-winding performance with roughly 42 hours of power reserve and smooth timekeeping. The watch also benefits from Cartier’s modern ergonomics, including a SmartLink adjustable bracelet and QuickSwitch interchangeable system that allows easy swaps between metal and optional leather straps. With its blend of historical design cues, contemporary mechanics, and tasteful diamond detailing, the W4SA0006 stands as a standout in the Santos de Cartier lineup for those seeking a refined yet distinctive everyday luxury timepiece.

Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, began as a jewelry workshop that quickly gained recognition among French aristocracy. Under the leadership of Alfred Cartier, the company expanded into watchmaking, with a pivotal moment occurring in 1904 when Louis Cartier created the Santos Dumont, the world's first modern men's wristwatch, for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont.

Throughout the 20th century, Cartier continued to innovate in watch design, introducing iconic timepieces like the Tank in 1918, inspired by the Renault FT-17 tank. The company's watches became known for blending functionality with artistic elements, incorporating Art Deco influences and precious materials. Today, as part of the Richemont Group, Cartier remains a leader in luxury watchmaking, continuing to produce exquisite timepieces that combine tradition with contemporary design, from the classic Tank to the modern Pasha.
