Thank you for the review and the photographs
I bought both sizes of this watch in quartz earlier this year. They are gifts for my brother-in-law and his partner (he is a Brazilian working in aviation, hence the connection to the Santos-Dumont). I chose quartz because they are newcomers to watches, and also because my wife thinks that they will both appreciate their practicality.
Cartier is first and foremost a luxury lifestyle company and probably knows its market quite well. By introducing these classically-styled watches in quartz they are appealing to a wider audience than conventional watch enthusiasts. Most people who are interested in Cartier will be less interested in the intricacies of movements, and will just be looking for a stylish watch that is both reliable and low maintenance. With a battery life of six years, the quartz version delivers that far, far better than the watch's mechanical variants.
Hands on review of the Cartier Santos-Dumont XL in steel

Great review FX, thank you!
I think this model is a winner, be it the XL or the Large model. And I am very glad that Cartier released the model now with a mechanical caliber. It is all a matter of taste of course, but in this case, the XL is my favorite, in all steel. GEO
That's actually a good watch at a good price!
This is a great timepiece for someone just starting out on fine watchmaking! Thanks for sharing! Handsome looking watch. I'd wear one!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the case and proportions, struggling with the missed opportunity of offering a guilloche dial, ruins it for me.
thanks for sharing your review!
i like the L size but not quite the quartz movement. haven't been able to try on the XL yet.

Lug width
Great Review. I have finally pulled the trigger on the XL manual wind. I have been trying to find out the lug width of this as I would love to experiment with straps. If any one could help me with this I would be grateful. Thank you SBS
