I would consider that the ultimate version. The tell is the X XI closeness. you pic is what you want to see.
As to the later ultimate or the earlier ultimate, it is hard to tell. the only diff I can recall is the engraved rotor on the latter ultimate. But you'd have to crack open the caseback for that determination.

a couple of different factories come up with versions that have close x&xi, need to take a look at the shape of the cabochon and color
Hey guys, correct me if im wrong, so the most gen-like is the tip of the X and XI touching each other?
Ultimate or not, this is a nice looking santos rep. I am familiar with this style, since it's pretty new and the only currently available on a bracelet. Cartier stop making the Santos 100 on a bracelet a few years ago, but the bracelet is a huge plus to me for the rep. It is very hard to source a decent aftermarket strap for the santos and the deployment clasp is really crappy on the santos. The bracelet solves the strap problem and has a much better clasp. Only negative on this version is that the spinel set in the crown is a bit too royal or sapphire blue and should be more navy. That said, no one in the real world will ever notice.
