Cartier Santos Skeleton Automatic

The Cartier Santos Skeleton Automatic brings the unmistakable Santos aesthetic into a contemporary skeleton-style configuration. The design combines the characteristic rounded-square Santos case, prominent bezel screws and integrated bracelet appearance with an open-worked or skeleton-inspired dial treatment.

The result is a visually striking automatic watch designed for collectors who appreciate the architectural appearance of skeleton watches while wanting the convenience of an automatic movement.

Skeleton-Style Santos Design

The defining feature of this Cartier Santos Skeleton Automatic is its skeleton-style appearance. The open-worked visual treatment creates additional depth across the dial and gives the watch a mechanical, technical character.

Cartier’s genuine Santos Skeleton collection uses sculpted bridges inspired by Roman numerals, making the movement itself part of the time display. Cartier identifies the 9611 MC as its signature Santos Skeleton movement.

Automatic Mechanical Movement

Unlike Cartier’s genuine Santos Skeleton models, which use the manually wound 9611 MC, this product is described as an automatic watch. Cartier’s standard Santos de Cartier automatic platform uses the Manufacture Calibre 1847 MC, a self-winding mechanical movement with approximately 40 hours of power reserve.

The automatic configuration makes this watch particularly practical for everyday wear, while the skeleton-style design provides the visual character associated with high-end open-worked timepieces.

Iconic Santos Case

The Santos design is one of Cartier’s most recognizable watch silhouettes. Its rounded-square case, exposed screws, distinctive crown and integrated bracelet architecture create a strong combination of elegance and sporty character.

For reference, Cartier’s current large Santos automatic models measure approximately 39.8mm wide and 9.38mm thick, with water resistance rated to approximately 100 metres.

Luxury Skeleton-Inspired Aesthetic

The skeleton-style dial adds visual depth and creates a more contemporary appearance than a conventional closed dial. Mechanical-inspired detailing works particularly well with the geometric Santos case, producing a balanced combination of classic Cartier design and modern horological styling.
