Very well presented IDGuy as usual. As an LHD owner I like the parchment lume and hands, I also appreciate that Tudor have kept the snowflake seconds hand on a new release, I'm not a fan of the lollipop on the other recent releases but it's not a show stopper. It's a tough one to decide which watches would be in my collection starting again as we now have hindsight of seeing and trying different releases over time but if I were to choose a GMT from a watch that is currently in production this would be a worthy contestant. Looking at discontinued GMT watches I would still go with my Omega 231.90.43.22.04.001 that is more versatile in my humble (and biased somewhat) opinion but I dare not think what it would cost new in todays money. Many thanks for sharing.

Your version is excellent. I imagine that a carbon composite case, is only a CNC machine away? The Pelagos is the absolute best watch available. The original has beautiful titanium which marks, but bizarrely self heals. The strap is simply the best available. The FXD MN are fabulous relaxing weekend watches, and the FXD Red Bull, is so light, that you really forget you're wearing a watch. Why is it that Tudor designs such perfect watches? It must be a really well run company. I congratulate the staff. Thankyou.

Absolutely, No Explanation Required regarding the FXD line. Seeing this GMT and its design has me hooked even more on the FXD/Pelagos variants. I will enjoy the opportunity to see it in all its Titanium glory at some point in the future. It being METAS is the icing on the cake. Regarding your closing comments, totally agree the new Omega FOIS and the FXD GMT added to my P39 would be a perfect three-watch collection. With these, there is no longer a need IMHO to chase the R-Crown.

As always another great video. Your passion for the FXD is something else, this hobby needs people like you, it's so much better than the drone we hear from others who are just reading the specs off a script. Please continue on your path. My thoughts towards your question of chasing a Rolex. We have all been beaten to the ground with Rolex, I admit I don't follow any Rolex reviews or content that compares Rolex to other brands, i'm tired of it. We all know Rolex is a well made watch, but there are many well made watches, there has always been well made watches. So, no we don't need to chase Rolex, if you're lucky to find a watch that ticks all the boxes, or at least most of them, you are ahead of the game.

Thank you for this great review including your suggestions! My likes: FXD, GMT, Date, Master Chronometer, two-colour lume, text on the dial kept to the minimum. Dislikes: vintage vibes, case only titanium grade 2 instead of 5. Solution as a suggestion from my side to Tudor: Adding a Pelagos 39 GMT Date with the blue dial and bezel of the FXD MN, bracelet with 20mm lug width and improved T-Fit clasp (shorter and without sharp edges) and the whole tihing in titanium grade 5 - this could be my dream Tudor.

Proud owner of a FXD M.N.22 (the year my son was born, the watch will go to him when he's 18) and a 94010 M.N.80 bought 20 years ago. I love the FXD range, and this GMT looks fantastic. I am not bothered by the beige lume, or the absence of a stripe on the strap. I would, however, would have liked them to keep a luminous triangle at 12 to measure elapsed time. This, after all, is a 200m diver at its core.

I owned a standard Pelagos I wasn't in love with but this one gets everything right that I didn't love about my Pelagos. I actually love the off-white vintage vibe they went with and am with you on the orange. Also love your rendering in black.

Even if you aren’t chasing a Rolex gmt (I also own a Pepsi) this would be much more comfortable to travel with and draw absolutely no unwanted attention. I don’t mind the creamy lume. I always loved the LHD but never purchased one due to the thickness of the case. I’m sure there will be a regular slimmer next gen Pelagos/ Pelagos gmt on a bracelet at some point as well.

Having owned multiple modern Tudors over the years including 5 different model types, the FXD platform is by far my favorite even over my second fav, the Pelagos LHD - it truly is a special watch imo - the only issue that I think is worthy of discussion is part of makes this watch so perfect: the fixed bars. If you are looking for a versatile watch, do not like nato/parachute/single pass straps, have small wrists or need something that you can dress up then this is not a good choice. But if this is not your only watch or you simply only desire a rugged tool watch then the FXD should be one you should check out it the metal - it is super legible, super light and comfortable, super tough, very accurate, has superior bezel action and lume, great case proportions - this is the epitome of a modern tool watch. I adore the FXD and I fully intend on adding this new GMT model while keeping my current FXD Diver Black in my own collection. ps: Love your content - even when my opinions differ, you always are thoughtful and insightful.

Great video as always, but I still prefer my BB GMT Pepsi dial. I like the chronograph Pelagos though.

The FXD is my perfect go to watch This new GMT would be equally amazing. I love them both, but wouldn’t buy both, so the original will have to do. That strap would actually work on the MN too 👍

Like you I’d like to add both (now that I think about it) BUT only choosing one? I’d still rock the original. Done way too much with it AND it’s never felt out of place ever 🔥

Love everything but the fixed strap bars. I need a bracelet option. I like the looks so hopefully will make its way into the standard Pelagos.

I’m a huge FXD fan, a big Tudor fan and I really enjoy GMTs. While this release is, objectively, excellent, I don’t find the same hook from it that I do from the FXD MN I own, or the FXD Black I want to own. Perhaps it’s the cream colored hands or indices. Or perhaps it’s the large font on the bezel. There’s something there that prevents me from wanting this. That said, I’m very happy it exists and that Tudor is listening.

Let me something more - I love your reviews. You are not really about into chronology but more about wathes itself so not the complication of the movement but more for the marketing of it. However when we take Commando Hubert with Blue FX or now Zulu FX it is jus great.

Great analysis. Cheers 🍻 The OG is STILL the best. In fact, the FXD versions released after the OG do absolutely nothing for me as they have moved too far away from the original brief. Very happy that I have an MN 21.

I really like this new release! Great discussion around this one as usual. To answer your question, there's not reason to go for a Rolex when Tudor puts out watches like this in my opinion. ID_Guy, you are the person that got me truly excited about the FXD and with this GMT release I think it puts us in a place to be spoiled for options. Does one get this GMT? Or, do we get a Diet Pepsi or BB Pro plus the excellent blue-dialed variant that you wear so frequently? Or, do we get a blue FXD and also this GMT? What a tremendous line up!

Agree with your points. I'm disappointed with the pin buckle strap and its longevity, and also as you stated the loss of the Pelegos fantastic black and white contrast that the block indicies and hands create. I was hoping you were going to render a straight black and white (or blue) FXD GMT on their velcro straps......Those would be very tempting. I also think a Pelegos 39mm with this movement, matt black or blue with white indices, date, and red or orange GMT hand would be a smash hit and appeal to the majority. We get the titanium bracelet, smaller form factor and then strap choice too, a no brainer perfect holiday all purpose watch. I would definitely buy one.

For me, this is a better Explorer II alternative than the black bay pro, despite the obvious similarities between the explorer and the pro. The visually slimmer case (not sure if it’s actually slimmer than the pro) and military aesthetic are right up my street.

And to think I’ve been looking the Exp2 so much over the past few months… seeing my FXD now with a GMT complication… ah, it’s too good! 🥃

Bezel too busy, dunno whether the strap would hold up over time, like the black version more under the radar , I think the next pelagos update might be worth the wait

The FXD really has to be owned to understand, it's light, thin, strap it on and go, I have a MN 24 and a with all great pieces it just makes you sell a bunch cos nothing else gets wrist time

So so surprised the FXD line is getting so much attention from Tudor. They must have some mega market data showing it’s a top seller, which surprises me given the fixed lug case/no bracelet option. Not what I would have ever assumed would be popular with the masses

And here I’m thinking the FXD line is drowning (ba-dum-bump) and they’re doing anything they can to drum up the interest? Either way… I’d hold all of their inventory if they’d let me 🤣🥃

@ID-Guy super interesting situation with the line. 5 variations across 3-4 years.. I don’t think any watch brand/model can match that, and with such specific ties and influences, very strange.
