Cartier Santos-Dumont Icy Blue WGSA0050 - XL 33.9mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 33.9 mm case suggests

Cartier Santos-Dumont Icy Blue WGSA0050 - XL 33.9mm measures 46.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 33.9 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.37 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 55% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 16% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.6 mm (1.83 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
