Cartier Santos de Cartier Octagon 18K Gold Stainless Steel Quartz 24mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 24 mm case suggests

Cartier Santos de Cartier Octagon 18K Gold Stainless Steel Quartz 24mm measures 31 mm lug-to-lug on a 24 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.29 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 98% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 83% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 35 mm (1.38 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 42 mm (1.65 in) it starts to look compact. Below 31 mm (1.22 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
