SUMMARY

Finished in lightweight titanium, Tudor’s flagship diver measures 42mm in diameter and is as functional as it is idiosyncratic. Drawing on Tudor’s history of crafting a line of similar watches for the French navy during the 1970s, the Pelagos is immediately recognisable thanks to its unusual LHD-mounted crown positioned on the left side of the case. Beige-coloured hour markers and hands, 'roulette' date wheel, bezel markers, individually numbered caseback - including the brand’s signature ‘snowflake’ hour hand - contrast with the matt black dial and provide this robust ocean-dweller with superior legibility whether the wearer is on land or sea.
