Imagine the TUDOR Pelagos FXD GMT, a watch born from the windswept runways of naval airfields, where precision and endurance are paramount. Crafted in collaboration with the French Naval Aviation, this timepiece embodies the resilience and spirit of those who navigate the skies. Its 42mm titanium case is a fortress of durability, lightweight yet formidable, with fixed strap bars that secure it for any adventure, sea or sky. The dark, matte finish minimises reflection, embodying a stealthy sophistication that echoes the subdued colours of military gear. With the Pelagos FXD GMT, you’re not just marking time—you’re mapping journeys across continents.

This model is powered by TUDOR's Calibre MT5652-U, a Master Chronometer-certified movement offering 65 hours of power reserve and resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Key design details include a matte black dial with blue-glowing, Super-LumiNova-coated hands and markers, enhancing legibility in low-light conditions. The watch also features a green woven strap, inspired by French military flight suits, with a titanium buckle for added durability.
Its "FXD" designation, which stands for "fixed strap bars," indicates its resilience and suitability for extreme conditions. The FXD line originally evolved as a partnership with the Marine Nationale (French Navy), with early versions crafted for combat swimmers in the French Naval Commando units. These watches required exceptional durability and legibility, essential for military divers in the demanding underwater conditions of the mid-20th century.

Historically, TUDOR has been crafting watches for professional use since the 1950s, with early models issued to the French and American navies. The modern FXD GMT is a nod to these vintage watches, maintaining the robust and reliable attributes of its predecessors but updating them with contemporary technology. The current model also incorporates a METAS-certified movement, bolstering its accuracy and magnetic resistance—qualities crucial for watches exposed to advanced navigation and aircraft systems.
In essence, the Pelagos FXD GMT is a rugged tribute to exploration, an essential tool for those who transcend borders, blending TUDOR’s technical mastery with the enduring spirit of flight.
