I have a MY22 FXD and I love it. I emailed my AD on launch day and added my name to this watches waiting list. I literally got the call today and collected the black version. Its a stunning watch and I absolutely love it, the matt black is perfect and the colour of the strap just makes everything pop. Very happy customer, well played Tudor :)

I think a lot of folks apply a kind of weird double standard: they want Tudor to make "tool watches" which are true to their heritage....but then they complain because they aren't getting funky brightly-coloured offerings with illogical combinations of complications (a dive watch with GMT...? C'mon man!!) Back in the old days when Tudor was supplying real diving equipment to professionals - including for military divers - there was a blue Tudor Submariner and a black Tudor Submariner....and that was basically it! And they were not being changed/updated more than about once a decade, were they? Now it feels like they are expected to reinvent the wheel every year.

I agree on the crazy colors, but a diver GMT makes sense when you realize that the vast majority of people who are scuba diving are traveling to do so and thus not in their home time zone. Futhermore from a military perspective it makes some sense for a soldier to have either zulu or their home time zone on their watch while deployed / on a mission. This could all be accomplished with a subtle chapter ring, it doesn't have to have the full GMT bezel (it would still have the count up or count down bezel).

I really like this release. The FXD line is my favorite Pelagos. The red Pelagos on the dial, unidirectional count-up bezel and black dial and bezel color make a very handsome tool watch. Good job, Tudor. And glad to see you got to spend time on a beautiful beach - I love the white sand and turquoise water of the Florida Panhandle.

I own a Pelagos LHD and since I've owned it I've been of the mindset that I'd always own it. I really liked the MN FXD when it came out and it was going to be a purchase down the line because I don't own a blue watch anymore. But after looking at photos/videos of this watch for the past few days I now know that I will be selling my LHD on and buying this. I think this dark grey FXD has a chance of being the greatest tool watch of all time, if it isn't already. For starters, straps are more purposeful than bracelets. But more importantly, the warm brown/green of the strap is just so perfectly dialed in with the warm hues of titanium, even more so than the ivory plots of the LHD. It's also thinner and loses the date function, which are both positives. Yeah, I think this watch is literally the perfect tool watch. There is no genre of watch that has ever been perfected at an affordable price point like this, but I think that's exactly what Tudor has done here.

The pelagos fxd has been being tested by seal team 6 for the last year. They have custom text and strap colors based on squadron (red, blue, silver and gold) that’s why they added the extra seconds dashes on the bezel. Few images were leaked and the swiftly taken down. Is why the brand loosely advertised the us navy but nothing specific.

All good but I am afraid they might add too much bling to it and ruin the theme behind Pelagos. They almost did it with the 39 and the sunburst dial that attracted people who mainly wanted a shiny Tudor more and cared less about the idea about Pelagos. The very same bitch and complain about the Titanium selection instead of something else, which in the end of the day makes me glad they get filtered the same way FXD annoys and filters them too.

I know it's not fair to compare new with used in a review, but as a real-world choice, you can get the updated (post 2021) Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage for around the same money and it addresses pretty much all of your wish list. It has the awesome, Metas certified, 8912 movement with twin barrels and very nice decoration that can be seen through the display back. The new slim and tapered bracelet with micro adjustment feels gorgeous, a matt black dial that has fabulous lume and extends to the bezel. As a package, it ticks a lot of boxes and it's hard to see why it's not more popular. I'd love to see a review from you sometime?

Apples to oranges, I think.

Worth noting that San Martin just released that blue GMT Pelagos design in 39mm Ti... this is a watch people have been asking for for the better part of a decade now, while Tudor have been furiously pumping out stuff nobody wants like the 925 or with 16mm cases. And while I'm not a fan of "homages"/blatant copies of current production watches, the quality of the three hander version (blue, 39mm 2nd gen with date at 6) absolutely blew me away, and truly leaves for dead watches ten times the price, or even more. And they're giving people versions they want that the real brands can't or won't. (I'll be first in line for a blue, date, 39mm Pelagos, 3-hander or GMT)

I think the Seiko LX with the Spring Drive diver got better specs than Tudor FXD, LX Spring Drive is made out of Titanium 5 case and brace, with ceramic bezel, inside domed sapphire crystal face, 120 click bezel, 72 hours power reserve complication, date complication, Professional diver 300 meter saturation level, Zaratsu finish is great on the LX, I HAD Titanium 2 metals, Titanium 5 is better on the flesh and hold a better resale value comparing to Steel or Titanium 2 watches. What is your honest review with the Seiko LX and Tudor FXD side by side for specs?Their price is also similar, Chrono 24 is one place to look for pricing, sure there are others, Tudor FXD look cool but, LX has more to offer for the same money, please let me know what you think, thanks.

Great video!! Thanks for sharing thoughts an opinion on this! A P39 with metas certified heart would be crazy. Just disagree why it should have to be also a GMT to be perfect.

Great video as usual. I was never a big fan of Tudor's snowflake hour and seconds hands, but it's still a nice looking watch. I prefer the blue Pelagos over the black one though. I also prefer the vintage gilt look of the Black Bay 58's black dial with red triangle on the bezel than the Pelagos. Now that's an awesome looking watch.

Adrian, are you on track to become a Brit version of Jason Heaton, with more NATO straps around and less under ice diving ? Dive watches, issued watches, military memorabilia, the works. Would be cool.

What do you guys think between the FXD in black vs the Pelegos 39?

I had the 39mm Pelagos briefly. I much prefer the matte dial and bezel on the 42mm. If it had that, probably still have the watch

Is it true, and rumours going around on various forums, you will only talk about a brand if they pay you, and your fee is £10000?
