Tudor Pelagos FXD automatic watch black dial green and red fabric strap 42 mm

The basics

The Tudor Pelagos is the tool watch par excellence and symbolises the Tudor brand's attachment to the aquatic environment. In 2015, the Pelagos was the first Tudor watch to be equipped with movements developed and produced in-house, the first step towards a major industrial project designed to offer greater independence to the brand founded in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf. When the Pelagos model was developed, it was done so in real-life conditions on the basis of numerous tests around the world, including in Lake Geneva, close to Tudor's headquarters in Geneva. The Pelagos is water-resistant to 200 metres.
