Cartier Santos De Cartier Medium 35.1mm Stainless Steel WSSA0061 GREEN ROMAN STEEL

The WSSA0061 reference distinguishes itself as the first Santos de Cartier model to feature a green Roman numeral dial, a sophisticated departure from Cartier’s traditional white or silver dial configurations. This 35.1mm stainless steel case maintains the collection’s iconic design codes, including the square bezel with eight exposed screws and a polished finish that contrasts with the largely brushed case band. The green dial provides a rich backdrop for the black-printed Roman numerals and sword-shaped blued steel hands, ensuring excellent legibility. The integrated stainless steel bracelet is equipped with Cartier’s QuickSwitch system, allowing for tool-free interchangeability with the included green alligator leather strap, and the SmartLink adjustment system provides a precise fit. The overall construction reflects an impeccable level of finishing, with sharp, defined edges and a harmonious integration of brushed and polished surfaces.

Powering this timepiece is the Cartier Manufacture calibre 1847 MC, an automatic movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 42-hour power reserve. This movement is engineered for robustness, featuring a paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus component escape wheel and an anti-shock system. The watch functions as a time-only piece, with central hours, minutes, and a discreet seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The case back is solid, which is consistent with the model’s focus on a clean, elegant aesthetic. The movement’s performance is flawless, meeting Cartier’s stringent standards for accuracy and reliability, and it is protected by a 100-meter water resistance rating, making it suitable for daily wear.

This particular example is in mint condition, showing no visible signs of wear on the case, bezel, crystal, or bracelet. All functions operate as intended by the manufacturer. It is accompanied by its official Cartier warranty card, which serves as its papers, validating its authenticity. The Santos de Cartier holds a strong position in the market as one of the most recognizable and historically significant wristwatch designs. This specific reference, with its unique green dial, is a compelling model for collectors seeking a modern interpretation of a classic that retains its core design integrity. Its condition and complete documentation further solidify its value as a sound acquisition, representing a well-executed and sophisticated timepiece from a premier maison.
