Pelagos
Since the 1960s the Pelagos line confirms Tudor’s reputation as a manufacturer of highly practical divers’ watches: not only do they serve their wearer reliably in the depths of the oceans, but their striking design will make a dazzling impression on land. The Pelagos has a titanium case that is waterproof to an incredible 500 metres and is known for its dial that can be easily read thanks to its robust indexes and hands with the emblematic “snowflake”, a square tip on the hour hand. A valued innovation is the patented tension clasp design, which allows the circumference of the bracelet to easily adjust to the wrist during compression and decompression of the neoprene. Pelagos watches come in two versions: a blue version and the original black ceramic dial. A “left-handed” edition is now also available.
Pelagos FXD
The popularity of the Pelagos model is pronounced across generations. However, some men with narrower wrists have "cried out" for a smaller case, a watch they desire to wear not only when diving. That's why the FXD model was created with a 42 mm titanium case and 200 m water resistance. Lightweight and durable, for everyday wear.
Pelagos 39
The watch, which has been one of the bestsellers in the brand's portfolio for ten years, despite being a pure diver, has acquired a younger and smaller "brother". While Tudor communicates the new Pelagos 39 as a fashion watch, it is still more of a performance-oriented functional timepiece. This is confirmed by the lightweight titanium case and the strain, which can be easily and quickly extended so that it can be worn over a wetsuit. The watch also comes with a flexible rubber strap with a thorn buckle. While the model doesn't have a helium valve, as is the case with the larger, 42mm version, it is water resistant to 200 meters, which will reliably protect the movement during water sports. The latter, like the rest of the collection, is manufactory made and offers COSC certification. It is therefore again a precision automatic chronometer that achieves a power reserve of up to 70 hours. The dial remains true to tradition, accompanied by a "snowflake" hour hand and the iconic seconds hand. Its black colour gives way to composite ceramic indices, which are made from a single piece of material and emit blue light thanks to Super-LumiNova luminescence. The unidirectionally rotating lunette has a ceramic insert and the scale is luminescent, as is the case with the hands and indices. Whether you wear them in the city or for sports is probably not important, what matters is that you can rely on the new Pelagos 39 in all situations.
Something more…
The design of the Pelagos is similar to that of the Submariner from Tudor’s sister company Rolex. Here too, Tudor keeps to its tried-and-tested strategy of offering a similar model for a more affordable price than Rolex. Naturally, the difference is noticeable, especially when it comes to the materials used for the case and the bracelet.
