Born from Louis Cartier’s answer to a pilot’s need for a watch that could be read easily mid-flight, the Santos-Dumont centers on a silver dial that reads like a blueprint of early aviation elegance. It is housed in an extra-large square case that wears slim and light on the wrist.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The large Roman numerals follow the direction of the silver dial’s subtle sunray finish, radiating outward in harmony with its design. It also features a blue gem on the crown, matching the blue hands and navy blue alligator strap, which adds a coordinated touch of color that ties the whole look together.

Functions include hours and minutes. The hour and minute hands can be adjusted using the screw-down crown on the right side of the watch.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed, including the watch pillow, warranty card, warranty booklet, user’s manual, and an extra black alligator leather strap.

For anyone who appreciates purposeful design, everyday comfort, and timeless appeal, the Santos-Dumont XL is a watch worth holding onto. The blue alligator strap and the slim design of the case make this watch comfortable for any occasion.
