In 2015, Tudor announced the refreshed Tudor Pelagos 25600 at Baselworld, catching the attention of dive watch enthusiasts. The updated model, available in black (25600TN) and blue (25600TB), features a new manufacture movement – the MT5612. This in-house automatic movement provides time and date at 4Hz, with 26 jewels, and a 70-hour power reserve. Differentiating the 2012 black Tudor Pelagos from the 2015 version is easy: the former has two lines of text above six o’clock, while the latter has five lines.

The Tudor Pelagos remains true to its original design, featuring a 42mm titanium case that is 14.3mm thick and 50mm lug to lug. It includes two mounting options: a titanium bracelet and a rubber strap. Both are comfortable and effective for diving.

Diving with the Tudor Pelagos

A practical test of the Tudor Pelagos 25600TB involved a diving trip to Bahía de Banderas, Pacific Mexico. The dive required only essential gear for two leisurely dives at Malinal, a rock passage near Punta Mita, Mexico. The Pelagos proved its worth, with its blue dial reflecting the bright sunlight off the calm surf, demonstrating the watch’s capability and focused design.

Design and Functionality

The Tudor Pelagos is designed to seamlessly transition from the office to the pool and the ocean depths. The 2015 model, like its predecessor, is fitted with a 42mm titanium case and includes both a titanium bracelet and a rubber strap. The bracelet integrates well with the case via solid end links, which are also used to mount the rubber strap. The clasp features three micro adjustment positions and a spring-loaded setting for automatic adjustment when worn over a wetsuit sleeve.

Features and Performance

The Pelagos’ bezel is notable for its design and performance. It features a grippy coin edge, precise action, and a luminous ceramic insert. The watch offers excellent legibility due to its high-contrast design, flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and ample luminous treatment, which ensures visibility in low-light conditions.

The watch’s titanium case and bracelet have a satin finish that complements the rich blues of the dial and bezel. While titanium is more prone to scratches than steel, it contributes to the watch’s light weight and comfort. The Pelagos weighs 106g on the rubber strap and 142g with the titanium bracelet.

Practical Considerations

The Tudor Pelagos includes an automatic helium escape valve (HEV) on the nine o’clock case side. This feature, while useful for saturation divers, is not necessary for recreational diving.

The Pelagos stands out in its category due to its in-house movement, competitive pricing, and comprehensive features. Its price of $4,400 USD includes both the titanium bracelet and rubber strap, offering a strong value proposition compared to competitors like the Sinn T2, which does not have an in-house movement and costs more when similarly equipped.

Conclusion

The Tudor Pelagos is a versatile and reliable dive watch suitable for a variety of environments. Its blend of performance, comfort, and design makes it a compelling choice for dive watch enthusiasts.
