Hands-On: Tudor Pelagos - The Best Dive Watch!

I got hands-on with the Tudor Pelagos in blue - this is Tudor's answer to the Rolex SeaDweller. After wearing the Tudor Pelagos for a week I noticed the 42mm wide case is actually 40.5mm wide, so it doesn't wear large, and the lightweight titanium case and bracelet aren't all that light. Which I think is a good thing.

There are three Tudor Pelagos in the range:
Tudor Pelagos Blue m25600tb
Tudor Pelagos Black m25600tn
Tudor Pelagos Black LHD m25610tnl

I will be doing another video comparing the Tudor Pelagos Vs Tudor BlackBay range.

This is the first luxury diver I have ever actually taken diving. I’ve been rocking a scurfa diver one for years and before that I just wore a computer. Something absolutely beautiful about seeing this doing what it is capable of accomplishing even if just at 30 meters

The MOST amazing Tudor I've seen and now finally I own.

When Tudor created this watch they created a lot of "firsts" in the Tudor line-up. I may be wrong but first ceramic bezel, first lumed bezel, first 500 meter diver, first helium escape valve, first titanium case and bracelet, first micro-adjust clasp, and very close to the first in-house movement. That's a lot of firsts and many of these firsts were the first in the Rolex brand as well. I guess I'm saying that a lot of creativity went into the Pelagos which is unusual for the Rolex/Tudor brand. Most times they work on small evolutionary steps to get to a final Wow! With this watch they just jumped out of their corner swinging precise power punches left and right. Wish it would happen more

I have the Pelagos ETA last gen model. I can assure you that there is nothing like it in the Tudor line. The micro adjustment bracelet. Titanium case. Ultra light feel. Premium finishing. Gun metal look. I was initially aiming to buy the BB diver range but after trying this on there was turning back afterwards. It is very under the radar and criminally underrated by those who want a watch that is loud, flashy and screams “Tudor”. You will also notice that the older ETA Pelagos models do not even have the word “Pelagos” on the dial! Almost as if it wasn’t needed :)

[edwardblack]

Bought one without researching it just a quick try on and go. What a watch!

[blobofjam]

Love mine, I ended up selling everything else and having it as a one watch collection.

[evanspangler]

I've been watching you for years, and the level of editing your videos have now is night and day from when you first started! Keep it up!!

Finally a true dive watch. It's NOT a sports watch! If any reviewer or watch designer actually tried a so called dive watch as intended by diving with it they quickly spot the problems with them.

This watch is Incredibly easy to read underwater especially at depth with low light or poor visibility. The snowflake hands makes it simple to see which hand is which. A spring loaded bracelet that adjusts as your wetsuit or drysuit compresses or expands depending upon your depth during your dive. So it never becomes loose and slips down over your gloves.

Titanium case so it doesn't corrode in saltwater. The bezel is larger thsn the case so its easier to grip and turn with wet hands or gloves on. Remember that this process is done at the water surface right before you descend. It doesn't need a helium escarpment. It's there just to shout DIVE WATCH in case anyone was still confused

[harrylk]

This was probably the best intro I have seen on 'watch' YouTube!

[james.shafiei]

Something the no one talks about is that the bracelet has more articulation than other oyster style bracelets. The 3 link brackets on Rolex, GS, Omega etc only pivot between the bottom of the middle link and the top of the outer links. The Pelagos pivots between all the links. Fits more like a jubilee than an oyster.

[JogieGlenMait]

I just love the overall blueness of it. It's matte. It's calming.

[PeteMcConvill]

I'd love to see Tudor really back the Pelagos as a full range. My number one criticism of the Blackbay is that is a watch constantly looking backwards, always looking to what was. The Pelagos feels like its looking forward, looking to what could be. I think a Tudor with full, vibrant lines in the Blackbay and Pelagos, balancing each other, would actually be kind of exciting.

[danielabramovich]

I have the LHD and simply love it. I have a few watched (love them all), but he Pelagos is special, because is a non compromises watch: it seems that was made for what it is supposed to do, not pretending to be any other thing (versatile). Very high quality and understated (which is something essential for me).

[Johnlt]

Been wearing the ETA black for 6+ years. Best tool watch I’ve owned, best modern tool watch period.

[ExpeditionTrio]

This was the most enjoyable watch rundown I’ve seen. Going to purchase the Pelagos early 2021 I think.

[MrAddictedtocars]

Hot DAMN that cinematography, Adrian!! The best watch channel out there!

[watchesandcaps]

22mm is a pretty damn common strap width. I've never once heard someone complain about 22mm straps. Pretty universal.

[MrPhilHeim]

Love that my favourite watch YouTubers are just now getting to the Pelagos, but also hoping it stays an underappreciated gem - otherwise I'll never be able to get one!

[liter]

Have a 2-liner and love it. It wears thinner than the in-house movement. In general the Pelagos gets compared to the Sub or BB but I think it’s more of a SD4K competitor at a fraction of the price.

[SuperAJ]

Prolly one of the most comperhensive review of the pelagos. Awesome!
