Discover Tudor's New Pelagos FXD GMT: Innovation for the French Naval Aviation

In 2024, Tudor expands its line of professional watches with the launch of the Pelagos FXD GMT, a watch crafted in collaboration with the French Naval Aviation to meet the unique demands of naval aviation. This model introduces a triple time-zone functionality, combined with the precision and durability for which Tudor is renowned.

A Functional Tool for Critical Missions

The Pelagos FXD GMT, also known as "Zulu Time", displays up to three time zones simultaneously, a crucial feature for aviators on long-range missions and global operations. The Zulu Time (UTC), indicated by a luminous orange hand, remains synchronized with universal time, aiding in communication and avoiding timezone confusion in aviation

High-Quality Materials and Robust Design

Tudor continues to prioritize durability in design. The watch case is made from grade 2 titanium, measuring 42mm, with fixed strap bars for added resilience. The case back is engraved with the emblem of the French Naval Aviation and the iconic "M.N.24" (Marine Nationale 2024), paying homage to the historic partnership between Tudor and the French Navy.

The bi-directional 24-hour bezel, with a black ceramic insert, allows for a third time zone, ideal for pilots who need to track multiple zones at once. The high-contrast design and Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material ensure optimal readability even in low-light conditions.

Certified Movements and Impeccable Precision

This model is powered by the Manufacture Calibre MT5652-U, certified by both the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and METAS (Master Chronometer). This movement provides impressive accuracy, magnetic resistance, and a 65-hour power reserve. The technology also allows for seamless time and date adjustments, adding convenience to this high-performance watch.

Strap and Tradition: Inspired by the French Navy

The Pelagos FXD GMT features a single-piece woven green strap, matching the uniforms of French aviators. This detail, woven on Jacquard looms by the historic Julien Faure workshop, connects this modern model with Tudor's legacy in the French Navy, a partnership dating back to the 1950s.

Conclusion

The Pelagos FXD GMT embodies Tudor's dedication to innovation, tradition, and technical excellence. This model is not only a functional tool for aviation professionals but also a collectible piece that reflects Tudor's commitment to quality and precision under extreme conditions.
