Both use the 1847 MC movement and share the same headline dimensions, but they differ in weight, bracelet details and reported price. The original article references add a “CR” prefix—CRWSSA0096 and CRWSSA0089—while Cartier’s product pages list them as WSSA0096 and WSSA0089.
What distinguishes the two Santos models?
| Detail | Steel, black dial | Titanium, silvered dial |
|---|---|---|
| Cartier reference | WSSA0096 (also written CRWSSA0096) | WSSA0089 (also written CRWSSA0089) |
| Case and bracelet | Steel case and bracelet | Titanium case and bracelet |
| Dial and hands | Black dial; black sword-shaped hands with luminescent material | Silvered opaline dial; blued steel sword-shaped hands |
| Movement | 1847 MC automatic | 1847 MC automatic |
| Dimensions | 47.5 × 39.8 mm in specifications; Cartier’s page prose rounds the first dimension to 47 mm | 47.5 × 39.8 mm |
| Thickness | 9.38 mm in specifications; 9.4 mm rounded in prose | 9.4 mm |
| Water resistance | 10 bar, approximately 100 m | 10 bar, approximately 100 m |
| Strap system | QuickSwitch interchangeability; second nubuck alligator strap | QuickSwitch interchangeability; second nubuck alligator strap with steel deployant buckle |
Cartier lists a sapphire crystal for both models. The steel listing specifies SmartLink bracelet adjustment. Cartier’s titanium listing confirms the bracelet is titanium and has QuickSwitch, but does not specify SmartLink; Fratello describes its links as screw-linked instead. Cartier’s pages are the steel WSSA0096 listing and the titanium WSSA0089 listing.
How do the materials affect the wearing experience?
Steel: a black dial and added wrist presence
The black dial gives the steel WSSA0096 a higher-contrast look against its steel case and bracelet. Cartier describes its hands as black and fitted with luminescent material, a practical distinction from the titanium model’s blued hands. Fratello reports the steel watch weighs 147 g with all bracelet links installed. That is an editorially reported figure, not a weight specification published by Cartier.
Titanium: lower reported weight, silvered dial
The WSSA0089 pairs a titanium case and bracelet with a silvered opaline dial and blued hands. Fratello describes the titanium as Grade 5 ELI with bead-blasted surfaces and polished accents; Cartier’s listing confirms titanium, but does not identify that grade or finishing description. Fratello says the titanium watch is about 50 g lighter than the steel comparison. Treat that as the article’s approximate comparison rather than a manufacturer-certified measurement.
