TUDOR Pelagos FXD GMT Watch M2542G247NU

The TUDOR Pelagos FXD GMT 42mm (Ref. M2542G247NU-0002) expands the proven FXD platform developed with French Navy specialist units to meet Aéronautique Navale (French Naval Aviation) requirements through integrated GMT function enabling tracking of “Zulu time” (UTC), local time, and third time zone essential for aviation operations. The Grade 5 titanium case with satin-brushed finish and fixed strap bars maintains field-proven durability whilst the highly legible bright orange GMT hand and 24-hour bidirectional bezel provide comprehensive time zone management.

At 42mm with 12.7mm thickness through lightweight titanium construction, this provides substantial military presence whilst the matte black dial with painted beige hour markers ensures optimal legibility under adverse conditions. The 24-hour bidirectional rotatable bezel with black ceramic insert enables third time zone tracking whilst the angular “Snowflake” hour hand jumps in one-hour increments for rapid time zone changes.

The Manufacture Calibre MT5652-U delivers exceptional 65-hour power reserve with COSC and METAS certification through adaptable movement architecture integrating GMT indication without additional modules. The tungsten monobloc rotor with laser radial grooving demonstrates TUDOR Master Chronometer calibre finishing whilst ensuring reliable operation in demanding aviation environments.

The caseback bears Aéronautique Navale logo with winged anchor and star plus “M.N.24” engraving indicating Marine Nationale 2024 production year. The green one-piece fabric strap woven on 19th century Jacquard looms by Julien Faure features titanium pin buckle and removable keeper with French Naval Aviation roundel.

This Pelagos FXD GMT suits military aviation professionals requiring proven field-tested capability with comprehensive time zone management and authentic French Naval Aviation commission. The Zulu time functionality and robust titanium construction provide genuine operational capability whilst the years of field service validation ensure reliability that honours TUDOR’s distinguished military partnership legacy.
