The Tudor Pelagos 39

The Pelagos by TUDOR, the perfect name for the diving enthusiast, or even those who love the sea. The word Pelagos goes back thousands of years relating to living or occurring in the open sea. As broad and wide the earth’s oceans contain a breath-taking two thirds of our fragile planet. It is no surprise then that TUDOR launch their new 39 mm titanium masterpiece. It encapsulates new features whilst remembering the very first 2012 model, which still today draws many admirers. If you want to remain a successful watch manufacturer, then you must listen to what the collectors are asking for and TUDOR have done just that!

What we have seen now is a strong titanium waterproof masterpiece. At this point you have to remember their slogan, Born to Dare, with respect and confidence in giving their collectors a tool watch that will exceed their expectations. In 1946 the founder of TUDOR, Hans Wilsodrf, made a promise to deliver his watches at high quality and obtainable prices. Not easy in a world that forgets the majority of quality and luxury watch brands are not always driven by price alone for the general public.

Before we reach the bottom of the ocean with Tudor’s all new Pelagos 39 mm, it is important to remember their illustrious maritime history. TUDOR is celebrating its rich naval heritage by announcing a new partnership with the French Navy. This has evolved over a period of several decades giving TUDOR a very healthy reliable history of diving tool watches. TUDOR’s  partnership with the Marine Nationale has long ties increasing their reputation for detail, reliability and durability. If you are considering purchasing a new timepiece, then TUDOR pack a lot of essential diving musts into their offering.

First point in my opinion is that coveted partnership with the French Navy. Quite simply any diving watch that has to go through stringent tests with not only their manufacturers, but the French Navy too, has to be your number 1 contender. For example, the use of titanium; because of moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance and formability. This applied to the Pelagos case and satin finish bracelet is the perfect feel for both out of water and in water circumstances. Having tried the new Pelagos 39mm I can immediately feel the comfort of a lightweight, but extremely strong rugged diving watch. The 39mm case will suit both male and female customers who understand it is first and foremost a tool watch reaching out to go swimming or diving in the sea with you.

On to the movement, TUDOR use their MT5400 inhouse manufacturer (COSC) chronometer movement. It is self-winding mechanical movement with bi-directional rotor system. The power reserve is 70 hours. A screw-down crown, adorned with the TUDOR shield in relief to remind you of the Founder of Tudor watches Hans Wilsdorf much loved enthusiasm around English Tudor history. I must say I think a shield is perfect as historically it is strong, protective, and will survive long periods in water too.

To compete well in both the ocean and land and sky there is the trusty virtually scratch resistant sapphire crystal. With every great watch, there should be a great dial. TUDOR again do not disappoint with their Black sunray dial with sandblasted flange and monobloc luminescent ceramic composite hour markers. For safety and darkness comes extreme luminous materials for capable reading in darkness. TUDOR enthusiasts also will love the new Titanium bracelet with TUDOR “T-Fit” folding clasp, safety catch and diver’s extension. So, then. Also included is a very generous complimentary black rubber strap with pin buckle. Complimented by the Tudor 5-year international guarantee.
