Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Pelagos different from other TUDOR dive watches?
The Pelagos represents TUDOR’s most technically advanced dive watch, featuring titanium construction, 500m water resistance (versus 200m in the Black Bay models), a helium escape valve for saturation diving, ceramic bezel insert, and an innovative bracelet extension system specifically designed for professional diving use.
What are the advantages of titanium for a dive watch like the Pelagos?
Titanium offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making the Pelagos approximately 40% lighter than an equivalent stainless steel model while maintaining superior durability. This reduces fatigue during extended wear, particularly important for diving. Additionally, titanium is highly corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for saltwater exposure.
How does the bracelet extension system on the Pelagos work?
TUDOR’s patented extension system features two mechanisms: a rapid adjustment for 2mm changes to accommodate wrist expansion during daily wear, and a self-adjusting spring-loaded extension that automatically adapts to compression at depth while wearing a diving suit, expanding up to 25mm as needed.
What is a helium escape valve and why is it needed on the Pelagos?
During saturation diving with helium-rich breathing gases, helium molecules can penetrate the watch case. The helium escape valve allows these molecules to safely exit during decompression, preventing potential damage from pressure buildup. This feature makes the Pelagos suitable for professional technical diving.
What does COSC certification mean?
COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certification indicates that the movement has passed rigorous testing for accuracy in multiple positions and temperature conditions. Each TUDOR MT5612 movement is individually tested and certified to meet these strict precision standards.
How does the 70-hour power reserve benefit the wearer?
The extended 70-hour power reserve allows the watch to be taken off on Friday evening and still be running accurately on Monday morning without requiring rewinding. This exceeds the industry standard of approximately 40-48 hours, providing greater convenience for modern lifestyles.
