In May 2020, Cartier launched three mechanical Santos-Dumont XL variants at once, all powered by the new Caliber 430 MC, a pure hand-wound movement. Within this family, the W2SA0034 sits as the steel-and-gold version between the all-steel WSSA0032 and the full-gold WGSA0032. At launch, the steel model was priced at 4,700 Euro and the full-gold version at 12,500 Euro. The two-tone line, which includes the W2SA0034, started at 6,500 Euro, deliberately positioning it as the middle price tier of the three models.
## Dial and Bezel as the Watch's Signature
The dial features Roman numerals on a silver background, a pattern collectors know by the designation W2SA0034-Dial-Silver-Roman. More striking is the bezel: yellow gold set with the eight visible screws that have marked the Santos line since Louis Cartier's first pilot's watch in 1904. On the W2SA0034, these screws sit on the gold frame while the case itself stays in steel, a contrast that sets the reference apart from its all-metal siblings.
## Why Collectors Call It the Dumont XL Two-Tone
In forums and auction listings, the W2SA0034 rarely surfaces under Cartier's official designation. Far more common are names like Dumont XL Two-Tone, Dumont XL Steel-Gold, or Santos-Dumont XL Bicolor YG. The reason lies in Caliber 430 MC itself: 2020 marked the first time Cartier fitted the hand-wound movement into the XL case size, creating a kind of stepping stone to the automatic Santos family. For buyers who want that hand-wound feel without giving up the gold accents, the W2SA0034 remains the obvious pick among the three 2020 launch references.
Brand profile: Cartier
Cartier watches (Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu) are popular targets for counterfeiters. The distinctive design (Roman numerals, blue sword hands) is recognizable — but also easy to copy.
- Sapphire cabochon crown: on genuine pieces it's SET INTO THE METAL (bezel-set); on fakes it's usually GLUED. Test: loupe — adhesive residue around the edge = fake.
- Bracelet screws: genuine Cartier bracelets ALWAYS have visible screw slots. Pins instead = fake.
- 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock: MICROPRINTED directly beneath the 6 o'clock marker. Fakes often omit it or print it crooked.
- Guilloché pattern: under 10x magnification, EXACTLY parallel and uniformly deep. Irregularities = fake.
Serial number format: Cartier serial numbers: alphanumeric, on the case back. Older models: number located between the crystal ring and the case. New purchases come with a Cartier passport.
