Amazon.com Product Description 
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.

About Cartier 
The name Cartier is synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objets d’art. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europe’s Crowned Heads of State and led England’s King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewellers.

By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded its collection to include watches. At a time when pocket watches were still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with creating the first men’s wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane. Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece, the Tank, in 1917, and later Cartier's first water-resistant watch, the Pasha, created especially for the Pasha of Marrakesh.

Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.

Customer Reviews

This watch is nothing short of Amazing! 
Anyone reading this don't listen to the dumb guy that rated the watch 1/5 because apparently he doesn't know the difference between rating a product and the website since he rated Amazon and not the watch, *sigh* what a moron, anyways, 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--! 

Here's a tip, don't get the Two-Tone version just yet, get the SS and then get a jeweler to make you a custom 18Kt Gold bezel for it, and with the money you saved buy another watch (Hey, it's a $2,300 difference!)! That's what I did, and they only charged me $500 for the bezel and work including the gold bar on the deployant, how cool is that? Both are 18Kt Yellow Gold, but you can customize it to whatever you like, platinum, diamonds, rose gold, etc. It will still be cheaper than $2,300! 

Overall, I love this watch, it's perfect for anything, casual, formal, etc. It's beefy, it stands out, and the dial is breathtaking! 5/5 for this piece of art!

Great watch, horrible service 
Watch is truly beatiful, but service from Amazon Suc*s. I received the watch with wrong manual, and its been over 50dd and I have not received right manual, neither a follow up call from Amazon representatives to know the status of my order. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH HERE. I know may seem well priced, but headache of dealing with amazon and its useless help/post sale lines is too much to handle.
