  • Rotatable bezel

    The rotatable bezel displays the time indicated by the 24-hour hand. It can be turned to 48 positions in either direction.

  • Date Window

    Displays the current date.

  • Winding crown

    The winding crown is used to set the time and date and to wind the watch if it has not been worn. The winding crown is screwed down onto the case to ensure water resistance. It must be fully tightened after each manipulation.

  • 24-hour hand

    This hand corresponds to the reference time. 24-hour hand moves around the dial once every 24 hours. According to the position of the bezel, this hand displays a second or a third time zone.

  • Seconds hand

    The seconds hand can be adjusted via the winding crown or left unchanged when setting the time to different time zones.

  • Hour hand

    This hand corresponds to local time. This hand moves around the dial once every 12 hours.

  • Minute hand

    The minute hand can be adjusted via the winding crown or left unchanged when setting the time to different time zones.

  • Reference time

    The reference time is your “home” or “main” time zone. During a journey, the reference time is indicated by the trianguler tipped 24 hour hand. Setting the reference time also moves the conventional hour hand (local time). For this reason, the reference time must be set before setting the local time.

ENGRAVED TITANIUM CASE BACK

To highlight the Pelagos FXD GMT's official commission with the French Navy and its aviation arm, its grade 5 titanium case back bears the logo of the Aéronautique navale (French Naval Aviation) composed of a winged anchor topped with a star, as well as a historically inspired engraving of "M.N.24" for "Marine Nationale 2024" indicating the year of production of each batch of the watch.

The 42 mm satin-brushed grade 2 titanium case with fixed strap bars is machined from a single block. It features a grade 5 titanium case back engraved with the Aéronautique navale (French Naval Aviation) logo and the inscription “M.N.24” (Marine Nationale 2024), inspired by the original TUDOR M.N. engravings of the 1970s and ’80s. The last two digits of the inscription represent the year of purchase and subsequently change depending on the year. The matt black dial with applied hour markers is filled with Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova® blue emission, a beige-coloured luminescent material.

  • The bidirectional rotatable bezel in titanium with ceramic insert and 24-hour graduation is filled with grade A "Swiss Super-LumiNova®" green emission, a beige-coloured luminescent material that allows for instant gathering of time-tracking information. The 24-hour hand and graduation on the 24-hour bezel allow for an instinctive read of Zulu time, any time.

  • The Manufacture Calibre MT5652-U illustrates the technical development process signature of TUDOR, drawing on adaptable movement architecture capable of integrating new functions, in this case a GMT indication, rather than resorting to additional modules. This movement features a dedicated sun laser design and bears the "Master Chronometer" mention on its bridges, emphasising its superior performance. Its monobloc rotor is made of tungsten. It is openworked and features the laser radial grooving and sand-blasted details distinctive to TUDOR Master Chronometer calibers.

  • The fabric strap is one of the hallmarks of TUDOR, which, in 2010, became one of the first watchmaking brands to offer it with its products. Woven in France using a traditional method on 19th century Jacquard looms by the Julien Faure company in the St-Etienne region, its manufacturing quality and comfort on the wrist are unique. For the Pelagos FXD model, a new, highly technical strap construction was developed by TUDOR and Julien Faure. Made from a 22mm green polyester woven ribbon, the strap features a grade 2 titanium pin buckle and keeper as well as a removable fabric keeper, finely embroidered with the French Naval Aviation’s roundel, composed of the French flag’s blue, white and red colours, circled in gold and topped with a black anchor.
