Tudor Pelagos

[andy_s]

It's not too often I get excited about new watches, and although I'm not jumping up and down on my bed going 'woo-dee-doo', I do like what Tudor have done with this one.







Here's my brief take on this titanium 500m diver:

"Well done them.

Using the snowflake handset has been nicely picked up on and nicely realised.
The size is a normal, reasonable, sensible and wearable 42mm. Thanks for that - if nothing else.
There are some nice little practical details like the spring-loaded clasp, the edging to the bezel and a nice crown finish.
The ceramic bezel looks subdued and matte rather than glossy, which is a good thing; the dial also seems to have a matt textured finish, very nice.
Using titanium is an excellent idea, both for weight and appearance, again, a matte/satin finish, closely matching the bezel and dial.
Nice plain style bracelet - I think 'less is more' in watch design, and they've pulled it off in this package.
I am not too sure on the recesses in the rehaut for the hour markers, but it's perhaps the only thing I've picked up on that I've not immediately liked.

I have to say that it's the first 'new' watch for a while that I've really liked."

I love it. I want one. Now to find out how much, how long is it gonna take to get one.

[Pesty]

You will probably have to go to europe to get one or wait ages to get one second hand online from europe.

If its anything like the heritage chrono I ordered and paid for over here from a rolex dealer but never got it will take a while

That'd be my choice.

I like the look of the new Tudors, it'll be interesting to see them in the metal. And see prices as well!

That is lovely (I have a Tudor sub snowflake) and would love that new model.

Oh, I like that. Like that a lot.

Got a touch of IWC Aquatimer about it but would choose this, given the chance....

Nothing superfluous, wonderfully tool-like. They've got that spot on, a fantastically well proportioned watch, the markers are a great match for that handset and the bezel to the case.

Did I say I like it?

Where'd you get that from?

I read 3950chf or £3350 roughly . . .

An all titanium piece with that movement for 2730 would be astonishing if true . . . Also good as I live in Europe and get some salary in euros

It would, been umming and arring about a dive piece other than the Seiko's I have already. Just can't talk myself into a Rolex Sea Dweller somehow, and i agree as said earlier this is the first new dive watch I've really liked. I've always loved the IWC Aquatimers, but having a chronograph pilot it's the same movement etc , just different face in essence, so then into non chronograph and prefer the black white than the yellow and whichever way I've never just felt it strong enough ya know . .

This scratches the not common, simple design, classic manufacturer etc etc and all for 3950chf, £3350 ... Not that I've got that in the watch fund whilst i sacrificed it for the track Caterham

Two great time pieces from Tudor. Although I like them both, I think the BB with worn leather strap is going to be on my wanted list this year. The more I look at it, with its rose gold detailing and black dial, the more I appreciate its design.
