Pelagos FXD GMT: Navigating New Depths


Building on the Pelagos family’s reputation for resilience and reliability, the FXD GMT is crafted specifically with professional-grade requirements at the forefront. Featuring an impressive 42 mm titanium case and a 200m water-resistance rating, this model is both durable and exceptionally lightweight. Its matte finish speaks to TUDOR's dedication to understated elegance while preserving the practicality required for underwater exploration.


This watch’s standout feature is its ability to track three different time zones simultaneously, an invaluable attribute for divers and frequent travellers.

A Calibre Built for Precision


At the heart of the Pelagos FXD GMT is the Calibre MT5652. This automatic movement is a marvel of modern watchmaking, designed to meet the demands of those who value accuracy and reliability. The Calibre MT5652 offers a remarkable power reserve of approximately 70 hours, making it a steadfast companion for extended journeys without requiring daily winding.


TUDOR's meticulous attention to detail extends to the movement’s COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certification, assuring wearers of its precision. This calibre is not merely functional; it’s a statement of the Manufacture's commitment to producing timepieces that resonate with both performance and longevity. As for its crown, the Pelagos FXD GMT is made of titanium and is adorned with the TUDOR shield.

Functionality Meets Heritage


The Pelagos FXD GMT pays homage to TUDOR's heritage in dive watches, particularly through its striking blue and black colour scheme. The dial, with its luminescent markers, offers excellent readability, essential for low-visibility environments. Its bidirectional bezel, crafted from titanium, is easy to manipulate even while wearing gloves, underscoring TUDOR's commitment to functionality in every detail.


This model also introduces a new design element with the NATO-style strap, crafted from a single piece of fabric with self-gripping fastening systems. Inspired by military specifications, this strap is designed to withstand intense underwater pressure while ensuring comfort, making it as durable as the watch itself.


Incorporating a GMT complication into the Pelagos FXD speaks to TUDOR's understanding of the modern watch enthusiast’s lifestyle. Whether for professional divers or world travellers, the GMT function provides an additional layer of usability by allowing wearers to track multiple time zones at a glance. This feature, coupled with the model’s robust construction, positions the Pelagos FXD GMT as more than just a diving instrument—it’s a watch designed for those with an appreciation for fine craftsmanship and adventure.
