Share

The Tudor Pelagos is exemplary of a traditional mechanical divers’ watch, with clean lines and a titanium case that symbolizes adventure and accomplishment.

Good looks aside, some notable features of the watch would be that it is water-resistant to 500m and fitted with a Tudor Manufacture Caliber MT5612. Since it’s debut, the Pelagos has been released in a range of versions, including left- and right-handed versions, and several colour ways. With a 42mm titanium case, the Pelagos has presence without weighing you down. In the fall of 2015, the Pelagos was awarded the “Sports Watch” prize at the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève reinforcing the Pelagos’s position as one of the most faultless traditional mechanical divers’ watches on the market.

Akin to the Heritage Black Bay, Tudor also produces extremely limited runs of the Tudor Pelagos as special editions for their important clients, away from the public eye. One of the most distinctive example would be the exclusive edition for State Of Qatar. The Tudor Pelagos “State of Qatar” is one instance where the dial text really stands out.
