Celebrating Performance and Precision: Unveiling the TUDOR Pelagos FXD
This month TUDOR unveiled the new Pelagos FXD, paying tribute to decades of TUDOR watches on the wrists of US Navy divers. Complete with fixed strap bars, a titanium case, a high-performance Manufacture Calibre and a unidirectional elapsed-time rotating bezel, it comes as the ultimate modern “Milsub” (short for Miliatary Submariner).
A TRIBUTE TO THE PAST
Every TUDOR watch carries with it a rich heritage and a story that speaks of precision, adventure, and timeless design. The TUDOR Pelagos FXD is no exception. It pays homage to the brand's deep-sea diving heritage while embracing the latest innovations in watchmaking.
A spiritual successor of the early diving watches TUDOR tested in the mid-50s, visually, the Pelagos FXD is most in line with a late ‘60s-era TUDOR Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7016, incorporating elements such as fixed spring bars, as well as details inspired by other generations of issued TUDORs, like pointed crown-guards typically found on early TUDOR Submariners.
A UNIQUE SET OF SPECIFICATIONS
Initially developed in conjunction with active-duty combat swimmers, the Pelagos FXD case is based on a set of specifications that are as precise as they are demanding. Functional features are paired with exceptional design characteristics to create a timepiece that is as striking as it is reliable and robust.
The matte black dial, reminiscent of the ocean's depths, features bold hour markers and Snowflake hands, a design choice synonymous with TUDOR, coated with luminous material for enhanced readability in any lighting condition.
The case of the watch is made from the highest quality titanium, known for its durability and lightweight properties. The intricate details on the case and bracelet showcase TUDOR's dedication to craftsmanship. The combination of matt and satin-brushed surfaces add depth and character to this timepiece, whilst also limiting light reflections.
The watch's matching black unidirectional rotating bezel, is not just an aesthetic choice; it's a functional tool. It allows divers to time their descents accurately, making it an indispensable addition for those exploring the depths of the ocean.
