The new Santos Dumont XL in steel,

Apr 24, 2020,08:51 AM
 

Today I had a chance to try the new 'Santos-Dumont' in steel,

but now with the mechanical 430MC mechanical caliber.
(case size: 46.6mm x 33.9mm, height of 7.5mm thick)
Despite the name XL, I think the watch looks perfect on my 18cm wrist.
What do you guys think?

I’m also considering one of the new revealed dumont limited editions, especially the platinum one is really interesting. Still trying to find out how it would look on my wrist though...

They are interesting pieces😁 [nt]

I like this one a lot! Kent

Lug to lug is 46,6mm

The way the strap is attached to the case is renewed, the strap fits very tied and you can't feel the lugs at all. I thought it was just perfect, compared to the quartz versions last year. GEO

Perfect on your wrist!

In case I would pull the trigger on the platinum L size instead of XL, my wrist I believe is 17 cm or something like this... Grazie amico mio Luca

The platinum in large would fit you for sure

Your Octo Finissimo is much larger. I am surprised the XL fits so well on my 18cm wrist. The way the strap is attached to the case is unbelievable good. GEO

Very elegant! [nt]

Geo, thanks for the wrist measurement information. I always assume when I hear β€œXL” that it will be too large for my wrist. This looks perfectly sized.

Lug Width

Hi Geo, I was wondering if by any chance you are aware of what the lug width of the XL is ? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unfortunately I do not have the dimensions
