Cartier Santos Chronograph Extra-Large 43.3mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 43.3 mm case size

Cartier Santos Chronograph Extra-Large 43.3mm measures 51.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 43.3 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 92% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 98% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.3 mm (2.02 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 12.5 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 56% of the watches with a listed thickness.
