Description
A Cartier Santos clone — reference WHSA0026, 39.8mm case, in steel. On the wrist it tracks the reference it copies — the case silhouette, the dial furniture and the taper of the bracelet all follow the genuine watch. This is a clone, and it is described as one — no other claim is made about it.
It runs on a self-winding calibre, so the seconds hand glides instead of ticking and the watch keeps itself wound from the motion of your wrist. The steel case is worked by hand — brushed faces keep their grain and the polished edges stay sharp. The crystal is anti-reflective sapphire, and the case is rated to 50 metres — enough for everyday wear.
Sized for a man's wrist. The 39.8mm case carries the same proportions on the wrist as the model it follows. Nothing leaves without a check: we inspect and photograph the exact unit first, so the piece in the QC images is the piece that reaches you.

The QC video shows the balance wheel oscillating—this proves mechanical function. Still photographs show bridge detail and jewel placement. Both front and back views are documented.
Yes, it is the core Santos Skeleton reference. Variations exist in size and material, but WHSA0026 identifies this specific 39.8 mm steel skeleton model.
The movement is sealed; dust cannot enter easily. The opening is aesthetic, not functional. The crystal and caseback seals protect the mechanism. Normal wear poses no risk.

Compare within the family
The Santos collection offers multiple dial variants: solid dials and this skeleton. The skeleton is the most complex and mechanical. Case size and material vary across the family. The skeleton variant is distinct; other Santos models prioritise legibility over movement visibility.
