Dive into Perfection: The Tudor Pelagos Blue Titanium Arrives at Timekeeper PH
We are thrilled to announce a significant new arrival to the Timekeeper PH collection: the Tudor Pelagos Blue. This isn't just another dive watch; it's a benchmark for modern, professional-grade timepieces. A true testament to Tudor's engineering prowess, the Pelagos combines a rich heritage with cutting-edge technology, creating an instrument that is as beautiful as it is capable.
A Legacy of Underwater Exploration
Tudor has a storied history of creating robust watches for the world's most demanding underwater professionals, including the legendary French Navy (Marine Nationale). The Pelagos, first launched in 2012, is the modern culmination of this legacy. It represents the ultimate evolution of the tool watch, designed from the ground up for performance in the most challenging environments.
The Pelagos is more than just a watch with impressive water resistance. It is a purpose-built diving instrument, a fact recognized when it won the prestigious "Sports Watch" prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). The vibrant blue model we now have in stock pays homage to the brand's iconic blue dive watches of the 1960s and 70s.
Engineered for the Depths
The first thing you notice about the Pelagos is its commanding yet surprisingly light presence on the wrist. This is thanks to its 42mm case and bracelet, which are crafted almost entirely from satin-finished Grade 2 titanium. This material is not only 40% lighter than steel but also highly resistant to corrosion from saltwater.
Its striking matte blue dial is perfectly legible in all conditions, a critical feature for any serious dive watch. The iconic "Snowflake" hands, a Tudor signature since 1969, are filled with Grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova®, as are the square hour markers. This ensures a brilliant and long-lasting glow in the dark. The unidirectional rotating bezel, with its matching matte blue ceramic insert, provides a confident and precise grip for tracking dive times.
The Heart of the Beast
Powering the Pelagos is the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5612. This is not an off-the-shelf movement; it's a high-performance engine built in-house. It is COSC-certified, a guarantee of its exceptional accuracy and reliability. With a silicon balance spring and a hefty 70-hour power reserve, you can take it off on a Friday and find it still ticking perfectly on Monday morning.
Innovation on the Wrist
Where the Pelagos truly sets itself apart is in its thoughtful, functional details. The titanium bracelet features a patented steel folding clasp with a unique auto-adjustable spring mechanism. This ingenious system allows the bracelet to expand and contract with the compression of a wetsuit at varying depths, ensuring a perfect fit at all times. For those who prefer it, the watch also includes a complimentary blue rubber strap with an extension piece.
As a watch built for saturation diving, it is equipped with a Helium Escape Valve (HEV) and an incredible water resistance rating of 500 meters (1,640 feet), cementing its status as a top-tier professional instrument.
Why the Pelagos Blue?
The Tudor Pelagos Blue is the complete package. It is a modern classic that offers a feature set often found in watches at a much higher price point. It’s a synthesis of historical design cues, robust modern materials, and genuine technical innovation. Whether you're a professional diver or an enthusiast who appreciates exceptional engineering, the Pelagos is a companion you can rely on, both in the water and on land.
We are proud to welcome this exceptional timepiece to our curated selection.
