Earlier today, Tudor utilized Geneva Watch Days to marque a immense announcement – the caller Pelagos 39. That's right, the Pelagos is present the adjacent Tudor ticker to marque the leap to the 39mm sizing, pursuing the ever-popular Black Bay Fifty-Eight, and the Black Bay Pro. If you're a dive ticker fan, and adjacent much truthful a Tudor fan, the Pelagos volition mostly beryllium a known quantity, but the caller Pelgaos 39 marks a fig of changes from the archetypal format. Should I accidental it? No, right? Ah heck, let a feline to beryllium excited astir a dive watch. Let's dive in. 

I'm not present to discarded your clip and I'll person a afloat hands-on follow-up arsenic soon arsenic possible, truthful let's conscionable get to the nitty-gritty. The Pelagos 39 is made from people 2 titanium and measures 39mm wide, 11.8mm thick, and 47mm lug to lug. It has 200 meters of h2o resistance, a screw-down crown, a closed caseback, and comes with some a titanium bracelet (featuring some T-Fit and a 25mm wetsuit extension) and a rubber strap with titanium extremity links and a titanium pin buckle (along with a 110mm rubber strap dive extension). The price? A chill $4,400. 

As with past Pelagos (Pelagi?), the bezel is lumed and successful this case, the hr markers usage the aforesaid ceramic composite monobloc worldly we saw connected the Black Bay Pro (here it is achromatic with a bluish glow). Both the ceramic bezel and the dial are treated to a brushed satin finish, which is simply a large departure from the matte Teflon-like finishing communal to past examples of the Pelagos. The Pelagos sanction connected the dial is executed successful a glossy reddish font and is portion of a four-line stack of substance (vs. 5 connected the Pelagos and Pelagos LHD). 

What the Pelagos 39 doesn't person is simply a helium flight valve (HeV), oregon the modular model's "cut out" rehaut, nor does it person the automatically adjusting instrumentality dive clasp seen successful the modular and LHD iterations of the Pelagos. Also, acknowledgment to the usage of the MT5400, there's nary day connected the Pelagos 39. Ticking astatine 4Hz and offering COSC timekeeping and astir 70 hours of powerfulness reserve, the MT5400 is simply a coagulated question that we've seen successful different 39mm Tudors, similar the Black Bay 925. 

If similar me, you've been waiting for a smaller and thinner Pelagos, our time has come. I person to admit, barring really seeing the ticker successful person, I'm precise excited by the premise and however it looks connected paper. The 39mm Black Bays person ever acceptable good and looked great, and present we person the aforesaid successful a Pelagos. What a day. 

From my perspective, the updated rehaut (which includes the infinitesimal scale) looks large and works good for the design. Furthermore, nary HeV is a-ok (I'll ne'er request one) and, though I'll hold to comparison the T-Fit to the Pelagos' self-adjusting plan erstwhile I get to spot the caller Pelagos successful person, I volition accidental that I emotion the Pelagos clasp, but that I uncertainty it tin outweigh the entreaty of the lawsuit size, the thinness, and the mode successful which it instantly feels similar a halfway iteration of a Tudor dive watch. 

The brushed decorativeness is interesting, particularly with the unrecorded presumption provided by Logan (above). It's shinier than I'm utilized to seeing from a Pelagos, but I truly similar that the decorativeness stands retired much than its reflectiveness and however the brushing matches the mode the lawsuit has been finished. All told, it looks similar a smaller and somewhat much classical instrumentality connected the Pelagos – what's not to like? 

We'll person much sum successful the coming days, but if your tastes align with mine, this is thing abbreviated of a monolithic announcement. The Pelagos 39 is simply a ticker that manages to seizure the Pelagos' unsocial charm portion offering an execution that leans towards the casual versatility of an mundane dive watch. Let's go.
