F1's new "new watch" Cartier launched the Santos-Dumont XL Hand-Wind manual winding movement watch (size: 46.6*33.9mm). Following the great success of the new Santos-Dumont medium and small quartz pair watches launched in 2019, the industry is looking forward to Kajia to launch a more suitable watch for men! Live up to expectations! For 2020, Watches & Wonders has launched a larger, more suitable for men to wear Santos-Dumont XL Hand-Wind manual winding movement plus size watch, with new shapes and proportions! What is even more surprising is that this timepiece is equipped with a Caliber430 workshop refined hand-wound movement! F1 Factory bought this watch for the first time for a deep 1:1 engraving!
1: The case is made of Finnish 316F+L stainless steel (the metal properties are close to 904L stainless steel), and the Taiwanese factory 3D scans and copies the data to ensure that the case is consistent with the genuine data. The fit is very high!
2: The inner tank / the deep processing of the hidden position and the fixed position is integrated with the case. The craftsmanship is complicated and exquisite. Therefore, this model is a mechanical watch, so it feels full of weight and has a strong falling feel!
Three: Movement/Exclusively customized sub-version 430MC hand-wound mechanical movement, 36 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Although this model is designed with a dense bottom, the F1 factory is not shoddy to reduce costs! The main plate of the movement is engraved with the original Cartier double C logo, which is 90% similar in appearance to the original Caliber430MC movement, full of sincerity!
Four: Dial/CNC finely carved three-level silver-plated dial, orbital scale with slender three-dimensional Roman numeral hour markers, sun ray decorative effect, generous and clear!
Five: Mirror / French sapphire crystal glass with double-sided high-penetration treatment, the dial is more clear and clear, and there is no dazzling feeling!
Six: Leather strap + buckle. On the basis of the old work, the new model is upgraded to a leather bag titanium head, which makes the strap more durable and ergonomic, and the whole watch is more comfortable! The F1 factory is heavy-duty from the mold and precision casting, and the hole position and the card shell position are integrally formed. With the quick-release ear, it is easy to assemble and disassemble! The leather materials are imported from Italy with pressed crocodile grain calfskin (navy blue, agate black, elephant gray, brown) and American crocodile leather (navy blue, agate black) to choose from! The F1 factory only uses A-grade crocodile skin with slub pattern on the abdomen, which is by no means comparable to ordinary tail skins and leftovers on the market. Of course the price is small! The bottom is made of the same lining as the card family, which is comfortable to wear! It is matched with the iconic pin buckle that is drawn from the original 1:1 mold, which complements each other!
Seven: The pointer / adopts the same quenched and burnt steel blue needle as the original, and the rotation angle can show a gradient effect, which is very vivid!
Eight: The crown/the iconic crown is made of round beads with a five-axis linkage machine. After careful polishing, the bead shape is clear and round. The crown top is inlaid with blue raw ore ground cabochon (ordinary goods on the market or with glue or synthetic glue, dull color, opaque), showing attractive luster in the light.
Nine: The whole watch is polished / the front and side of the case are brushed, and the sand pattern is smooth and clear! The shell surface and side edges are over-treated with light-colored decorative lines, and the lines are clear and crisp! The mirror finish is mirror-finished by the ring light, and then decorated with the iconic exposed screws, the texture is outstanding!
Ten: packaging/tag, warranty card, bottom cover coding three consistent. This watch can be paired not only with formal business attire, but also with athleisure. Cartier's enduring reputation and immortal design are perfect for self-wear and gifts to relatives and friends!
