Cartier Santos-Dumont XL

Experience the timeless elegance of the Cartier Santos-Dumont, a direct descendant of the pioneering wristwatch created for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. This modern iteration captures that original spirit in a sleek steel design. The iconic square case, presented here in the Large model size, retains its signature polished bezel adorned with functional screws – a design element that became legendary. Its notably slim profile, made possible by the movement within, ensures it slips easily under a cuff, making it exceptionally comfortable and elegant. The classic silvered satin-finish dial features crisp black Roman numerals, blued-steel sword-shaped hands, and a traditional railway minute track, embodying Cartier's unmistakable aesthetic. The beaded crown is characteristically set with a blue synthetic cabochon spinel. Powering this Santos-Dumont is the ultra-thin manual-winding Calibre 430 MC, renowned for its slimness and reliability, requiring the wearer to engage with the watch through the satisfying ritual of winding. The watch is beautifully paired with a navy blue alligator leather strap, secured by a steel ardillon buckle. It's a perfect fusion of historical significance, iconic design, and fine mechanical watchmaking. Our offering is in superb condition and comes in full set of boxes and papers. Ticking per specs. Covered by our limited warranty of 1 year, starting on the date of purchase.
