The new TUDOR Pelagos FXD has been developed to unique specifications created in collaboration with a specialist unit of the Marine nationale (French Navy).

The Pelagos FXD model, named after the extra robust FiXeD strap bars of its case, is based on a set of specifications that are as precise as they are demanding. It includes many functional features that are new to TUDOR, such as its fixed strap bars that are machined into the main body of the 42 mm titanium case for increased robustness and reliability. Shaped as an extension of the lugs, they are key to the model's characteristic silhouette.

Another feature specific to this model is the 120-notch rotating bezel. Bidirectional with retrograde graduation from 60 to 0, it does not correspond to the ISO 6425:2018 standard of divers' watches, but instead meets the specific needs of the method known as “underwater navigation”.


TUDOR and the Marine nationale (French Navy)

Nov 10, 2021

TudorWatch

TUDOR chose to join forces with the Marine nationale (French Navy) brand in 2021, continuing a relationship that dates back to 1956.

Since the 1950s and TUDOR's creation of one of the first modern professional divers' watches to the 1980s, the brand has been a regular supplier to the 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. The brand presents a technical watch that meets a unique set of specifications.


TUDOR Pelagos FXD - The new Fabric Strap

Nov 10, 2021

TudorWatch

A new highly technical strap was developed by TUDOR and Julien Faure for the Pelagos FXD adapted to the rustic nature of the Marine nationale (French Navy) divers' work.

By notable coincidence, Julien Faure, a family firm created in 1864, has for many years woven decorative ribbons exclusively in its workshops, bearing the names of French Navy ships and forming an integral part of the legendary bachi, the red pompom hat worn by French sailors and quartermasters.

Not sure I like this one, but I may warm up to it over time. I think the BB58 Blue is much nicer as I like the darker blue of the BB58 and wish they used it on this one. It a nice watch just not the Tudor I would pick. Now if they made this using the BB58 platform I think we would have a real winner....

Also not a real fan of the fixed lugs as it limits the straps one can use.
Just my 2 cents

A very sharp, standard size, automatic, PD, three hand, from Tudor. Handsome, stylish, sporty, and versatile. Thanks Mike. :hat:
 
Saw this in person. I have to say it's much nicer than I expected. The blue is much closer to the blue dial on the BB58. Very lite on the wrist and I may be a person to pick one up. I still not sure about the fixed lugs, but overall this is a very nice offering from Tudor.

In this video, we'll take a detailed, hands on look at the new Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale, a watch designed in collaboration with French Navy commandos. While it's not necessarily the watch anyone expected from Tudor, the new FXD offers a lot to like while also demonstrating the exciting course modern Tudor is on.

Aéronautique Navale

Since the 1950s, TUDOR has been officially supplying the Marine Nationale (French Navy) with reliable diving watches. The first Pelagos FXD model – "FXD" referring to the extra robust FiXeD strap bars of the watch case - was introduced in 2021, continuing the legacy of TUDOR and the French Navy.

Three times zones at once​

The Pelagos FXD GMT can keep track of time in up to three time zones at once, one being "Zulu time", the military name for Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) and the standard reference time for all aviators – a valuable tool when undertaking crucial missions. The word "Zulu" is the standardized phonetic alphabet code word used in aviation for "Z" or the first letter of the word "zero".

I do like the FXD models, but not sure I like this one as much as the black or blue models. May be it will warm up to me over time. Many other models have as I see them in person. I do like what Tudor is doing coming out with other options.

I like TUDOR... would prefer BLACK or BLUE sans GMT and would show room them stalking ROBERT and DARREN at TOURNEAU CORNER I forgot the other name they added ...doh ... I would need to know it would always be welcome for trade ...because my voices crave strange HEDONISTIC TREADMILL MAGIC CARPET RIDE @darkoverlord
