Description
2012 was the year of the diver for Tudor. They announced a totally revamped line-up, with a vintage inspired Heritage Black Bay model and this watch, the Pelagos.
This watch is 42mm in diameter and made of titanium. Yes, titanium. This is the very first watch to come from the Rolex family built out of this incredibly lightweight and durable material. It makes sense that it would be a Tudor and an entirely new reference, as opposed to creating a titanium Submariner or turning one of Tudor’s existing models to titanium.
The case has a really nice matte, satin finish to it, and, almost unexpectedly, it has gorgeous beveled edges. The Tudor crown is protected by pointed crown guard, and the matte finish seems to work at hiding scratches really well. On the left-hand side of the case, there is a helium release valve. The Pelagos features applied square hour markers, with a triangle at 12 o’clock and longer rectangles at 6 and 9. At three o’clock there is a date window without cyclops magnifier.
The bezel of the Pelagos is pretty interesting itself. Like the modern-day Submariner’s bezel, it is made of ceramic. But in the case of the Tudor, it is injected, matte ceramic, so you would almost never know it. Luminous material is injected directly into the ceramic for hashing.
This timepiece from 2023 is in excellent condition with full box and papers.
