Cartier Santos Dumont XL Replica (Gold/Black) – F1 Factory [Lacquer Dial]

Product Overview

The Cartier Santos Dumont XL in Black and Gold is a modern masterpiece. It breaks away from traditional silver dials with a bold, glossy Black Lacquer face.

F1 Factory has replicated this specific texture perfectly. The dial looks like liquid ink, creating a sharp contrast against the gold hands and Roman numerals.

Why Choose This Black & Gold Model?

1. The Black Lacquer Dial

• The Finish: This is not a matte dial. It features a layer of translucent lacquer that adds depth and shine. It reflects light differently than standard dials, looking incredibly premium.
• Contrast: The gold Roman numerals are applied on top of the black base, popping visually.

2. 18k Yellow Gold Plating

• The Look: The case is plated in 18k Yellow Gold. The tone is warm and rich, matching the vintage vibe of the Dumont collection.
• Durability: The plating is thick enough to withstand daily wear as a dress watch.

3. Swiss Quartz Reliability

• Engine: Powered by a Swiss Quartz Movement. It is ultra-thin, allowing the watch to sit flush on the wrist, and keeps perfect time without winding.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the dial matte or glossy?
A: It is Glossy (Lacquer). This is the signature feature of the WGSA0077 model. F1 Factory uses a special coating to replicate this “piano black” finish.

Q: Is the gold too yellow?
A: No. F1 Factory uses a specific “Champagne Gold” tone that matches the elegant, understated yellow gold of Cartier, rather than a cheap, bright yellow.
