Two years after its first appearance, the new Pelagos FXD pays homage to decades of collaboration between the Swiss company and the US Navy by revisiting, in a modern key, the historic Milsub 7016 with monobloc titanium case, the now inevitable “Snowflake” hands and the manufacture caliber MT5602 (COSC) which guarantees 70 hours of power reserve.
Collaboration between Tudor and US Navy (US Navy) was born in the now distant 1958 with the first delivery of watches assigned with characteristics of durability e reliability to be able to be used in any weather condition: from missions at sea to those on land. The nomenclature is a reference to the background of the watch: “FXD” (from the English “fixed”), in fact, alludes to the fixed bars for attaching the strap, which are incredibly resistant.
