TUDOR Pelagos FXD Titanium Steel & Blue 42MM Automatic Watch

A magnificent example of a tool watch and symbol of adventure, the TUDOR Pelagos is one of the most complete traditional mechanical divers’ watches available today. Since the 1950s and TUDOR's creation of one of the first modern professional divers' watches to the 1980s, the brand has been an official supplier to the Marine nationale (French Navy). With the Pelagos FXD model, where FXD refers to the extra robust FiXeD strap bars of the case, TUDOR is reviving this historic collaboration. Diving into to core of the Pelagos FXD, the case is crafted from polished and satin-brushed titanium and steel, and the 42MM round timepiece is adorned with a navy-blue dial with a high-performance luminescent material on the hour indexes. The characteristic angular hands, known as snowflake, are also luminous to maintain high visibility in dark waters. Finished with the iconic TUDOR branding and protected with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal cover. The bidirectional, rotatable titanium bezel has a blue ceramic disc with a 60-minute retrograde graduation for navigation by successive stages. Underwater navigation entails restarting a countdown at each change of course. The anticlockwise graduation and luminescence of the bezel of this model make it easy to set up and monitor each countdown, by aligning the time set for the section to be covered on the bezel with the minute hand. When the minute hand arrives opposite the triangle, the team changes course, and the diver in charge of timing begins the next countdown. The matching blue fabric strap has a self-gripping fastening system and a central grey thread, and it's complete with a folding clasp, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit when wearing. An additional navy-blue rubber strap with woven motif and titanium buckle is included in the box as a complimentary gift so you have a choice of straps. It's powered with a self-winding mechanical Calibre MT5602 movement and has an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The impressive 200M (660FT) water resistance is ideal for everyday wear, meeting your work to weekend needs with its iconic construction and clean aesthetic. This diver's timepiece inherits its general lines and crystal glass from the first ever TUDOR watches. Presented in stunning TUDOR branded packaging, which is perfect for gifting or storing, and it comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
