Santos de Cartier Medium 35mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 35 mm case size

Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium 35mm measures 41.9 mm lug-to-lug on a 35 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 87% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 41% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 41.9 mm (1.65 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
