Santos de Cartier XL Chronograph Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold Watch
The Santos de Cartier XL Chronograph Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold Watch is a bold reimagining of Cartier’s iconic aviation timepiece, now fused with chronograph functionality for the modern gentleman. With its luxurious combination of stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, this XL model commands attention, blending sporty precision with refined elegance.
Encased in a remarkable 43.3 mm x 51.3 mm rectangular case, this timepiece features Cartier’s signature screw-detailed bezel, now rendered in polished 18ct yellow gold, adding contrast and opulence to the brushed steel case. The silvered opaline dial features bold Roman numeral markers, blue sword-shaped hands, and three sunken chronograph sub-dials — all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Inside, it’s powered by the Cartier calibre 1904-CH MC, a self-winding mechanical movement with a column wheel chronograph, delivering high performance, smooth operation, and reliability. The start/stop chronograph pusher is cleverly integrated into the crown, preserving the symmetry of the design.
Completing this luxury sports watch is Cartier’s innovative QuickSwitch system, allowing you to easily alternate between the steel and yellow gold bracelet and a leather strap, offering versatility from boardroom to weekend.
