Cartier Skeleton Super Clone Santos WHSA0028
Architectural Elegance Meets Advanced Skeleton Technology
WHSA0028 Santos de Cartier Skeleton Super Clone delivers Cartier’s most progressive modern creation straight to your wrist. As the result of emerald-green lacquered bridges becoming a part of the structural Roman numerals, the movement itself is turned into an artwork. True to the genuine proportions, featuring stainless steel 316L construction, the super clone provides the same wrist presence, weight and reflection as the authentic version costing more than $30,000.
- True Proportions: 39.8mm ultra-thin casing to easily slip beneath any shirt sleeve.
- Eye-Catching Green Skeleton Bridges: Stunning emerald green lacquered skeleton bridges, which really stand out under the light.
- Exclusive Skeleton Clone Caliber 9611 MC Movement: Custom made manual winding skeleton movement with genuine bridge design and wheel train arrangement.
- Green Quick Release Strap: High quality green leather strap with brushed stainless steel buckle.
Custom Skeleton Clone Caliber 9611 MC Manual-Wind Movement
Instead of cheap automatic calibers placed inside the skeleton casing like in budget replicas, the Super Clone is equipped with a custom-designed skeleton Clone Caliber 9611 MC.
- True Structural Integration: The skeleton bridges serve as functional parts of the mechanism. Observe the mainspring barrel accumulating the energy during the winding process as well as the oscillation of the balance wheel through the anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
- Manual Winding Experience: Enjoy the crisp winding feeling delivered through the faceted crown.
- Accurate Timekeeping: Professionally factory-regulated within ±5 to ±8 seconds per day with ~40-hour power reserve.
Stainless Steel 316L Case and Movement Finishing
- Case & Bezel: 39.8mm case is manufactured using precision CNC milling in stainless steel 316L material. Legendary square bezel is perfectly polished with aligned and flush set exposed screws, while the case sides are vertically brushed.
- Dial & Hands: The emerald green lacquer on the skeletonized Roman numeral bridges is vibrant, even and rich. The polished steel hands guarantee high legibility against the skeleton dial.
- Crystal: Scratch-resistant front and back sapphire crystals with double-sided AR coating (colorless).
- Strap & Buckle: Premium soft and hand-stitched green leather strap with spring-loaded double-deployment buckle.
Definitive Replica of Santos Skeleton
While budget replica prefer using large oversized automatic cases with static skeleton bridges, this watch perfectly replicates the original proportions thanks to the custom-designed manual-wind skeleton movement. The tone of the green lacquer on the bridges perfectly matches the color saturation of the genuine WHSA0028 and does not appear too dark or washed out under natural daylight.
Transparency First: Things You Should Know Before Purchase
- Manual Winding Necessary: It is a pure manual-wind mechanical timepiece (like the original WHSA0028). It does not include automatic rotor and needs manual winding every 36-40 hours.
- Water Resistance Limitations: Built for daily splash resistance (handwashing, light rain). Strictly avoid swimming, showering, or hot water exposure to prevent thermal damage to internal gaskets. Always secure the crown before moisture contact, and inspect seals every two years.
- Skeleton Movements are Sensitive: Due to the open structure of the movement, do not subject the watch to any mechanical shocks and impacts (e.g. playing golf or firing a gun while wearing the watch).
