From Cartier
Beauty and brains combine in the classic styling of the 100XL Chronograph, a recent addition to the Santos series. Clean lines on the 38-millimeter stainless steel case are studded with screws on the square bezel, securing the scratch-resistant sapphire window. Roman numerals mark the time on the silvered opaline dial where three inset chronographs display seconds, minutes, and hours with stop/start functions at the flick of a button, and wrist movement powers the watch automatically. A date display window is positioned at four-thirty o'clock. The black alligator-leather band sports Cartier's patented deployment-buckle folding clasp. The timepiece offers a 330-foot water-resistant depth rating.
The Cartier Santos 100 Chrono is BIG, so if you have small wrists go to your local AD (authorized dealer) and try it on (I would recommend doing this for every watch you plan on buying), the face is beautiful and the layout of the sub-dials gives it a nice touch, the date is changed through a recessed pusher at the 10'o clock position, not through the crown like you would normally do, this watch uses an ETA Valjoux 7753 movement, in case you're wondering, very robust. Everything is smooth, and the strap is extremely comfortable! I rate this watch 5/5--!
