Iconic Design Meets Skeletonized Artistry

A true expression of horological artistry, the Cartier Santos-Dumont Skeleton reference W2020052 pays tribute to one of the earliest wristwatches ever created for aviation. Designed at the request of Alberto Santos-Dumont, this model blends historical significance with contemporary innovation.

Crafted in lightweight titanium with a stealthy ADLC coating, this timepiece features a striking skeleton dial where the bridges form Roman numerals—an unmistakable Cartier signature.

Why This Watch Stands Out

The Santos-Dumont Skeleton is a bold reinterpretation of Cartier’s aviation heritage. Its open worked dial showcases the movement architecture while maintaining excellent legibility through Roman numeral bridges.

The ADLC-coated titanium case gives it a modern, sporty edge while remaining lightweight and comfortable. A perfect blend of history, design, and innovation.
