The Exciting Arrival of The TUDOR Pelagos 39
TUDOR have once again taken the watch world by storm with its new Pelagos 39 model, offering a versatile watch at the crossroads between the world of technical diving and urban sophistication.
Featuring grade 2 titanium, luminescent ceramic hour markers, a rapid clasp adjustment system and a diver’s extension, the Pelagos 39 model combines TUDOR’s professional dive watch heritage with the versatility of a 39-millimetre case that also features the striking radiance of sunray satin finishes on its bezel and dial. The result is a sports watch that boasts both cutting-edge watchmaking technology and a chic aesthetic, as at ease in the city as on the shore.
The Pelagos 39 model joins the TUDOR family of technical divers' watches. The Pelagos, Pelagos LHD and Pelagos FXD models perpetuate a purely technical aquatic heritage, offering functions specific to highly specialised professional dives, Pelagos 39 is a compact and versatile, traditional mechanical divers' watch, with a touch of elegance created by the shine of the sunray satin finishes on its dial and the insert on the bezel.
MATT-SHINY CONTRAST
The aesthetic of the Pelagos 39 model is achieved through an entirely satin-brushed case in line with this TUDOR product family. This contrasts with the radiance of its bezel insert, made of black ceramic with sunray satin finish, featuring a graduated scale in white luminous material. The diameter of the bezel slightly exceeds the middle case for maximum grip. The applied hour markers on the dial are made of monobloc luminescent ceramic composite, a feature that enhances the technical aesthetics, whilst considerably increasing the luminous surface of the hour markers. The dial is made up of two main elements, a sunray satin finish flat disc whose subtle shine contrasts with the matt finish of the 45° conical bead-blasted flange. Last, but not least, the name Pelagos stands out in glossy cherry red at 6 o'clock.
MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5400
This exciting new addition to the Pelagos family is equipped with Manufacture Calibre MT5400. Its construction has been designed to ensure robustness, longevity, reliability, and precision. Thanks to the non-magnetic silicon balance spring, Manufacture Calibre MT5400 has been certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), with its performance going beyond the standards set by this independent institute. In fact, where COSC allows an average variation in the daily running of a watch of between - 4 and + 6 seconds in relation to absolute time in a single movement, TUDOR insists on between - 2 and + 4 seconds’ variation in its running when it is completely assembled. Another notable feature is that the power reserve of Manufacture Calibre MT5400 is "weekend-proof", about 70 hours, which enables the wearer to take the watch off on a Friday evening and put it back on again on Monday morning without having to wind it.
TITANIUM BRACELET AND RUBBER STRAP
The satin-brushed titanium bracelet is equipped with the TUDOR “T-fit” clasp for rapid length adjustment. Easy to use, requiring no tools and offering five positions, this system allows the wearer to carry out a fine, instant adjustment of the total length of the bracelet along an adjustment window of 8 millimetres. This clasp also has a 25-millimetre bracelet extension function to allow the watch to be worn over a wetsuit. The Pelagos 39 comes with a second strap made of black rubber, with a titanium pin buckle, that attaches to the case with titanium end links. Also included is a rubber extension piece that makes it possible to lengthen the strap even further, by up to 110 millimetres.
THE TUDOR DIVERS’ WATCH
The history of the TUDOR divers’ watch dates back to 1954 with the launch of reference 7922. Waterproof to 100 metres (330 ft), it was the firstborn in a long line of dive watches. Affordable, robust, reliable, and precise, it perfectly represented the brand’s tool watch philosophy. The seven decades following its introduction have witnessed the constant improvement of TUDOR divers' watches and them gaining acclaim from professionals in the field, including some of the world’s greatest military navies.
