Wow. That's one fugly watch! 🤪

 

I always thought the fauxtina on the LHD looked really nice until I saw it in person. I quite like fauxtina on retro style watches but it just didn’t seem to fit on a super modern tool watch. I think the same thing is happening here. I’m glad they are expanding the Pelagos range to include GMT’s and METAS, but they have focused so heavily on the FXD range I really want them to give the non-FXD range some love (as a very happy owner of a blue FXD). There are now 6 FXD models and only 4 non-FXD models, and outside of the P39 the other non-FXD Pelagos models haven’t been touched since 2015 (or 2016 for the LHD)

 

Just realized the strap is not even the same as the other FXD models which for me is a main factor of why I like the FXD...hook and loop (aka Velcro) straps make it infinitely adjustable and very comfortable.

This one has a standard pin buckle.

And with the orange GMT hand and writing on the dial, one cannot even get the Velcro style strap from the black FXD to match since that one is green and red.

 

Plenty of similar straps available after market.

But interesting as almost admission that velcro not the best choice.

 

I was wanting to go over to Tudor this morning and still might. I like the look. But in Ti it would be too light on that strap for my likes.

 

They have a winner with this one. It will sell out quickly.

 

I kind of like it, but no nearly enough to buy one. That said, I think it's likely we'll get another colorway at some point.

I wouldn't hate this in the original Pelagos black with the crown at 9...

 

This has the same movement as the BB GMT and BB Pro but is about 2mm thinner. A lot of that probably has to do with the smaller profile of the crystal, but from the pictures I’ve seen, the case looks slimmer as well.

 

Not the same movement as anything already. This is a new calibre. METAS too and thin enough to allow for the whole watch being 12.7.

 

That same horrible hour hand. Doesn't match the other hands. 😵‍💫🤢🤮🔨🕰⚰

 

A matter of opinion I suppose, but this feels more like a light yellow colorway than fauxtina to me. I think its the modern style coupled with the matching color on the metal of the hands and perimeter of the lume plots. Fauxtina would really just be the lume.

It's got more yellow than standard "fauxtina" and a hint of green.

Whatever color this is, it hurts my eyes.

Hard pass.

 

Easy pass for me

 

Same but like the METAS.

 

Interesting looking latest iteration of the FXD series of watches. If I had need of a watch with GMT function I might actually consider it but currently have no plans to pursue acquisition of this latest FXD.

 

Nope. That bezel kills it for me.....

 

Anyone else feel like they missed the mark here? I think a 24 hour scale on the dial with an elapsed time dive bezel would've been the real winner...they already have a basic GMT model, why not add a real diver GMT?

 

I like it, but I'd like it more without the fauxtina.

 

This is an unfortunate looking watch

 

I happen to like the look. The Fauxtina works well with the grey titanium case. The silly logo of the French armed forces throws me off though. Why not just give it a regular civilian strap? Not all of us want to pretend we’re in the Air Force.

FIFY

I like it too. GMT divers are interesting to me. Apparently the logoed keeper is removable as per the below article.

Introducing: Tudor And The Marine Nationale Go Worldwide With The Pelagos FXD GMT 'Zulu Time'

 

Another Tudor release of a watch that no 1 asked for...

Meanwhile-
No P39 Blue or Green
No OG BB58 update (Metas + Tfit)
No BB75 (aka Tudor MN Sub)

 

Its ok. Wouldn't be something I'd buy, as I don't like GMT's. Also, I agree with @sdiver68

There are much smaller & larger brands who are listening to their customer base, and taking action to put out watches that customers are asking for. I am a huge Tudor fan, but I do not like that they don't seem to listen to their base. I really enjoy when a brand puts something out that no one asked for, however, before you start doing that, at the very least show you are listening and care what your customers want, and put out a couple of watches that we ask for. After that, then start giving us odd pieces we didn't ask for. Rinse and repeat.

 

Rolex/Tudor says: you take what we give you and like it! 😠😮😑😄😂🤣

 

Love my black Pelagos.
Love my blue FXD.
No so much love for this one though. Will withhold judging it until I can see one in person, but something just seems off here.

 

Same category here. I love my Pelagos 39 and both of my FXD’s plain black and blue dials, all with no complications. Although I have absolutely no need for a GMT watch, if I did I would still look elsewhere apart from the Tudor FXD GMT.

 

yes. i prefer the blue non-gmt fxd.

 

Tudor’s last bunch of Pelagos have been misses - Cycling, Alinghi, Alinghi Chrono, and now this. More expensive than the BB GMT, and honestly pretty unattractive. I don’t see it being a huge hit in the current context.

 

The Alinghi models seemed divisive at least instead of panned like this one. Really continuing the theme of Tudor flogging it’s model lines though with new complications and color ways instead of having distinct identities. They are the Omega of the Rolex family

 

Ahem!

The ice is getting even thinner, nyc.

 

I did say it was a pass for me...

 

I like it other than the beige-yellow tone. I feel this should have white since the rest of the FXD lineup has white. Not for me anyway because I can't do 42mm with fixed bars.

 

A hard pass for me. The bezel looks way to busy! And not a fan of the colorway.

 

How about you make a white dial BB Pro that is thinner so that way we all line up and buy one?

I love Tudor, but they are beginning to feel like a more expensive C.Ward. They need to stop fighting C. Ward and Bremont for designs.

 

yes I am quoting myself, mainly because I am OK admitting I am wrong on something. I still think this is very Bremont and CW; however, seeing one in the flesh the watch looks better than in the pictures and has grown on me massively. I am considering this as my tough GADA gmt to go alongside my Batman. I love the fxd design and love the colors of it.

Don’t write it off just yet. This is a great release by Tudor and seeing it changed that for me.
