Description
AF Factory Cartier Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0062
AF delivers a compelling horological alternative by mastering the smoked green gradient dial and strictly adhering to the authentic 10.0mm case thickness.
Powered by Miyota 9015 Automatic
The integration of the Miyota 9015 caliber is a calculated engineering choice to maintain the slender 10mm profile of the Santos case. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement ensures a fluid sweep of the seconds hand while offering robust shock resistance. The caliber is minimally decorated to prioritize reliability and ease of service over superficial aesthetic modifications.
Standard Miyota 9015 calibration: ±10–15 seconds per day under normal wearing conditions.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Instant date transition at midnight, hacking seconds
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (clockwise)
Technical Specifications
Precisely machined to a 10.0mm thickness with a verified weight of 145.7g. The case exhibits correct alternating brushed surfaces and high-polish bevels.
Features a meticulously applied sunburst texture that darkens toward the periphery, paired with crisp silver Roman numerals and correct blued-steel hand profiles.
The signature square bezel is highly polished with eight functional screws, sitting exactly flush against the sapphire crystal with zero overhang.
Features fully operational QuickSwitch end-links for rapid strap changes and SmartLink push-buttons for tool-free sizing adjustments.
Why AF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why not BVF?”
While BVF produces an excellent Santos, their dials frequently suffer from the documented “floating R” typographical error in the Cartier logo. AF corrects this spacing issue entirely. Furthermore, AF successfully maintains the exact 10.0mm case thickness and 145.7g weight, ensuring the tactile experience matches the visual fidelity.
Full Disclosure: The SmartLink push-buttons on the AF bracelet can feel slightly stiffer than the genuine article during initial resizing, though they function correctly.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the AF version have the ‘floating R’ dial flaw found on other batches?
A: No. The AF factory dial printing correctly aligns the ‘R’ in Cartier, resolving the typographical spacing issue commonly seen on BVF releases of the WSSA0062.
Q: Are the QuickSwitch and SmartLink systems fully functional?
A: Yes, the AF edition replicates both the tool-free bracelet removal (QuickSwitch) and the push-button link removal (SmartLink) mechanisms found on the genuine model.
Q: How accurate is the smoked green dial color compared to genuine?
A: The gradient transition from the vibrant green center to the darkened edges is highly accurate under natural light, though the metallic sunburst effect can appear marginally less dynamic under harsh artificial lighting.
Q: What is the main known limitation of this specific AF release?
A: While the case geometry and 10mm thickness are exact, the Miyota 9015 movement exhibits a unidirectional winding rotor that can be audibly noticeable in quiet environments compared to the genuine 1847 MC caliber.
