The 2019 SIHH launch of the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large perfects Cartier's most successful model launch of 2018. The Santos XL with blue degrade dial stuns in person; the sunburst blue fades to black as on a Patek Philippe Nautilus. All Roman numerals are appliqués with mirrored polish, and for the first time, this generation of the Cartier Santos XL gains a set of luminescent hands for legibility at night.
Cartier's QuickSwitch and SmartLink continued to permit tool-free swapping of straps and sizing of bracelets. For good measure, Cartier includes both a blue leather strap and the stainless steel bracelet at no additional cost.
Inside the Santos case, the Cartier caliber MC 1904-PS keeps the time. Twin mainspring barrels ensure isochronous operation regardless of wind state, and the movement boasts a 48-hour power reserve. Hacking seconds (stop seconds), a quickset date, and a modern beat rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour round out the specifications of this Cartier in-house movement.
2019 Cartier Santos XL blue dial is encased in 39.8mm of stainless steel surrounding a blue dial on a stainless steel bracelet. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The Santos XL has a water resistance rating of 100 meters. The watch also measures 9.4mm in thickness and 47.5mm from lug-to-lug.
