The TUDOR Pelagos line, comprising four models, stands at the forefront of technical, mechanical divers’ watches. Inheriting the legacy of TUDOR tool watches since the 1950s, the Pelagos family caters to underwater exploration pioneers, with Pelagos and Pelagos LHD models tailored for right-handed and left-handed divers. These models offer ergonomic solutions and are designed for “saturation” dives with a helium escape valve.

The Pelagos FXD model, developed with the French Navy’s combat swimmers, facilitates countdowns during “oxygen” dives, while the Pelagos 39 model bridges land and sea, meeting ISO standards with versatility and enhanced aesthetics.
