Pelagos Owner Reacts To New Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale: First Impressions / Mini Comparison

Tudor has finally released the Pelagos FXD 25707B which is the result of the partnership with the Marine Nationale, which was announced earlier in 2021. The excitement was palpable and as a Pelagos owner I was very interested in what this new Pelagos was going to be like. So join me as I react to the new FXD, go through what was expected, what I liked and didn’t like about it, and finally if I will be buying the Pelagos FXD.

The Marine Nationale holds a very special place in Tudor’s history because in the 1970’s Tudor produced military spec (milspec) watches for them. These are amongst some of the most coveted vintage watches, right up there with other Rolex watches and Omegas. Instead of recreating the original watch or just making a Black Bay 58 in a new color, Tudor has created a watch that embodies what a Marine Nationale watch would actually be in 2021. That is why the Pelagos was the perfect platform to create this momentous watch.

The Tudor Pelagos is Tudor’s purest tool watch and is one of the absolute best dive watches on the market. I would go so far as to say that regardless of its price the Pelagos holds its own against the venerable Rolex Submariner and Sea-Dweller. I have owned my Pelagos for over 4 years now and I am absolutely in love with the brutal tool watch feel and the air of competence. The use of titanium is perfect and the effect it has on the overall wearing experience is immense. The titanium bracelet feels silky and deceptively lightweight and finally the clasp is an absolute marvel. The micro adjustment system is easily the easiest system to use and I really do believe that it is better than the much lauded Rolex Glidelock system.
AWESOME STUFF- I own and love every product listed so I want to spread the love!
