Skeleton Santos de Cartier WHSA0019 – The Key Facts
The Skeletonized Santos de Cartier (Ref. WHSA0019) has been known as one of the toughest models to recreate in super clones. While in case of solid dials you can hide imperfections under other parts of the movement, in the skeleton design all the bridges, gears, and bevels can be seen with the naked eye.
We do not supply cheap plated base metal copies. This Super Clone is made of high-quality 316L solid stainless steel, precision CNC skeleton milling and custom-architected Clone Cal.9611 movement that duplicates exactly the openwork architecture of the genuine watch.
Luxury Sport Watch Without Secondary Market Mark-Ups
Roman Numeral Bridges: The distinctive feature of the WHSA0019 skeleton watch is the double-duty construction of its bridges that make large and highly legible Roman numerals in the movement.
- Satin Brushed & Beveled Finish: All the bridges have a silver finish with crisp vertical brushing on the top and hand-polished bevels along the edges to reflect light properly.
- Blued-Steel Hands: Sword-shaped blued hands guarantee maximum readability of the watch face against the open-work mechanical background.
- Structural Balance: The proportions of bridges and spaces between them perfectly replicate those of the original model without any visual dead spots.
316L Stainless Steel & Comfortable Wrist Presence
The watch case size is 39.8 mm and it provides both commanding look and very comfortable feel on the wrist.
316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel: High corrosion resistance and scratch resistance, finished with high-polish bezel/bevels and linear brushed flank surfaces.
Sapphire Crystal Front & Caseback: Both sides of the case are made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
Eight Screw Bezel Alignment: Proper factory torque specs provide precise alignment of the bezel screws along the classic Santos shape.
The Heart of the Watch: Clone Caliber 9611
What runs inside this watch is the Clone Cal.9611 manually wound movement – specially built for skeleton watches to match their particular layout.
- Manual Wind Mechanism: Provides classic and reliable engagement of the winding system, which is expected from complicated mechanical watches.
- Wheel Train Visibility: All the wheel train wheels, mainspring barrel, and jewel stones are exposed and finished with satin frosting according to the genuine layout.
How to Preserve the Navy Blue Leather Strap for Long Term Luxury
The genuine leather strap is the most elegant choice for the skeleton watch, however, if you want to keep its navy color and softness as long as possible, you need to take some precautions. Follow these simple steps to keep your strap brand new for years:
- Prevent Water Contact: Engineered for basic daily splash resistance (handwashing, light rain). Swimming, showering, or intense workouts must be strictly avoided. If the leather strap comes into contact with rain or water, immediately pat it dry using a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the material.
- Take the Strap Off During the Night: As leather straps absorb moisture, avoid wearing the watch all day in summer heat. Take it off during the night to air it out.
- Use Quality Leather Conditioner: Every 2 to 3 months apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner or balm on the strap using a clean cloth.
- Release the Clasp Before Removing the Watch From the Wrist: In order to protect the leather from bending and unnecessary strain always fully release the 316L stainless steel folding clasp before removing the watch from the wrist.
Our Policy of Openness
Is the water resistance real?
Water Resistance: Rated for basic daily splash protection (handwashing, rain). To preserve the genuine leather strap and skeleton gasket seals, strictly avoid hot water exposure, swimming, or full immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully secured prior to moisture contact.
How accurate is the skeleton movement layout?
Extremely accurate. Skeleton watches allow no margin for mistakes, that is why the Clone Cal.9611 has been created especially for the WHSA0019 layout.
What kind of QA tests are performed before delivery?
Every single watch undergoes 48-hour bench test: timegrapher calibration for accuracy (+/- 5 secs/day max deviation), manual wind torque check and multi-angle inspection.
