Nice review, but to clarify: the increased depth rating on the Pelagos / Sea Dweller is not because of the helium escape valve. That’s just an extra (useless but cool) feature for saturation divers. If anything, it actually makes waterproofing the watch more difficult since there’s an extra hole in the case

No recreational diver would ever need that extra feature, they (we) need to pass special tests and levels in their (our) acreditation to do saturation diving, not counting 99% of professional divers use wrist computers and not mechanical watches. It is like buying a car with wings and flaps knowing in advance that it never will leave or take off the ground. At least that helium valve is no protuding like in the Omegas.

Sooooo true computers do everything now , but divers should still have a dive plan (manual computation ) written on a dive slate just in case the computer fails . I still wear a dive watch in conjunction with my computer just in case. But having extra features in a watch (even if not needed) is a plus (more bang for buck).

Great video... I was considering the Sub and SMPc and I ended up choosing the Pelagos. Killer dive extension, fabulous lume & bezel and one on the most comfortable watches in the market... Not to mention the in-house movement exceeds the current Submariner movement until Rolex upgrades it.

Excellent review JA! I just picked up a Pelagos thanks to you and it does not disappoint!

Great video mate - really glad you’re a Tudor convert! I’m keen to see if you end up with one!

Was looking at a Sub but after looking at the Pelagos it was superior in all except name I bought the Tudor in blue and love it !

Lhd’s are flying out of AD’s and it’s no surprise, they are crisp, light, functional and very good looking. Best in the Tudor range

Great video, the Pelagos is terrific. IMO, a more direct Tudor model that competes with the Rolex sub is the new BB58. That is sized and looks more like the 1950’s Rolex subs. Tudor is on a real roll.

Wouldn't have guessed a fade that strong would work on your head, but it totally does. Thanks for the review, cheers!

Thanks for the review. The Pelagos is a great watch and I will add it to my collection one day. The Pelagos has so much to offer but it is also a little bit plain on the dial imho. It would be great if it had a little bit of red on the dial, so that it pops a little bit more. Too bad the lefty colour scheme is only for the lefty. My upcoming purchase will be a Rolex Sub "no date" or the new Deepsea 2018 model, because I need a Rolex in my collection. The Tudor can wait allthough it is tempting to pull the trigger on a Pelagos (I have to save much longer for a Rolex and sometimes I ger impatient). ;-)

i have 3 Rolex and decided to try the 42 Pelagos, and was so surprised its gorgeous, i paid £1000 off list by getting a 2 month old one. Love the strap and the titanium finish, the clean crisp face is really nice.

Anthony, My Brother, another great review. It’s funny, but it seems to me the Black Bay’s get more press. And those talking about them always mention the Pelagos. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the case is titanium as well as the bracelet. For myself, I love the look of the blue one and the blue strap that comes with it. I’ve always been a sucker for a blue dial. Anyway, a great, straightforward, honest review. Always keep them coming my friend!-Mark. P.S. Also thanks to Bernard Watch.

Love the review the Tudor Pelagos & Black bay are my grail watch that i am going to buy myself for retirement present. Until then my Collection of Sumo's and Turtles will keep me happy. Keep up the great reviews.

I'm still lusting after a blue pelagos but worried it will feel like a 'Not quite Rolex' purchase. Rolex has our priced me but having owned several in the past I'm not sure how I'd feel about a Tudor... it makes sense to the head and pocket but we all know watches are heart buys if you're a watch geek. Same with the seamaster, it's a great watch but they're too common and not sure i wouldn't prefer my Seiko blu-mas

Hey man! I love your content. What do you think of the “new” Omega Diver 300m? I’m thinking about either getting the Diver 300m, or the Tudor Pelagos. I like the laser etched wave dial on the Diver 300, but I’m not sure how I feel about the oyster style bezel. I already have an omega planet ocean and that’s currently my only watch. I love omega, but I feel like I should give another brand a shot. Haha

This is a fun watch, very cool diver and finally something different than the Black Bay.

Pelagos LHD on a grey Crafter Blue strap is sublime. I’ve also got a Sub and SM300. The Sub is a little dull, a little too ‘obvious’ if you will, while the SM300 in it’s post-2018 guise is a little too bling. The Pelagos is a beautiful tool watch, with just enough wrist presence and great performance.

Amazing watch. I’ve had mine for 18 months, it ended my search for the perfect everyday wrist watch. Awesome lume, Titanium is comfortable on the wrist , 70 hr power reserve , ceramic lumed bezel is brilliant visible after 6 hrs of darkness,500 m depth rating, helium escape valve built into the case, build quality is beyond reproach, clasp is fantastic with its spring loaded adjustment .

The Sinn U1, Omega Seamaster, and Tudor Pelagos are my favorite dive watches. However, I think the Sinn U1 is the one of those three I would actually take into the ocean since it is made of submarine steel and isn't as affected by elements of the ocean/salt water.

I like your new haircut! Looks sharp!

Nice review! I really wanna get one of these. Is there any difference in terms of the brightness of the lum of the normal pelagos compared to the LHD version with the beige markers? Best regards

I wish they made the right hand version with the red lettering, date and patina on the indices

If it can go deeper then it means the watch and its seals can handle much more pressure, thus sturdier(case wise) , movement is still questionable due to it being relatively new but the 70hour power reserve gives it another up over the sub. This is a better alternative to the sub . The sub uses precious metals on some parts and is worked on more (polished areas) thats why it is more expensive. On a technical aspect the Pelagos is a better watch over the sub IMHO ,it is less refined with its finish but its a true tool watch . I got a LHD which is a great everyday watch , and tend to wear it more over my other Rolexes.

Would you actually wear the LHD version if you are right handed? I’m intrigued by the red numbers, or should I just get the standard right hand version

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that both the case and strap are titanium, and that the bezel is ceramic.

I love the blue one, but the proportions are a bit off IMO. Thick, the snowflake hand needs to be reduced and the problem with titanium is it’s a scratch magnet. Love the bezel and bezel action.

Escape valve does not allow the watch to dive deeper it’s for divers who go into decompression chambers that breath helium whilst in there . Helium under pressure will get past the seals and when they decompress the watch with pop the glass out as it can’t escape fast enough . So the valve was added .

Pelagos is a great alternative to the submariner . I love the blue dial personally.

Pelagos is made of titanium a plus clasp is super adjustable. With springs that keeps tension on the wrist. Super dive watch for money.

Like these a lot. Just a bit big for me. Wish they did a modern design like this in the BB58 scale. As trends change maybe it will happen.

I'm still waiting for a real Submariner competitor from Tudor. Black Bay is nice, but to vintage for me. Pelagos is more modern, but I don't like titanium if it's just brushed. If there would be a Pelagos in steel, with polished sides on the case and bracelet, a polished ceramic bezel and steel hands and markers, with the same design from this titanium version... this would be a stunning watch. Still as functional as the titanium versions, but with a more elegant twist.

Thank you.

Always liked the Pelagos I wouldn’t mind seeing the LHD style dial and markings on a RHD version. I find the black and white version just to dull and lacking character.

i bought mine with the profits after selling my sub, and what a stunning watch. i have the blue variant. i have to say that its better in every way than the sub. it keeps amazing time, mine is running at -1 sec per day. i have no concerns regarding quality as its produced by the rolex group that own tudor. you could call it the 'poor man's submariner', but i dont know many poor men that can afford a $5k watch, so maybe that label is ill fitting. in my view the pelagos beats the pants off everything, including sub's and gmt's. a more worthy opponent is the deep sea or sd43. when you consider the price jump, you are paying around 3x pelagos money for pretty much the same watch, im not sure what you are actually gaining by doing so. for me, i dont think i'll sell mine anytime soon as its the perfect watch, and i would say it can teach its bigger brother (rolex) a thing or two in how to make an impressive / benchmark quality dive watch. wear yours in good health sir. all the best.

nice video but too many inaccuracies and wrong comparisons, comparing the bracelet to an omega bracelet is incorrect. no technical terms like rehaut etc. if you compare these two models then you should proceed in more detail. I like the recordings quite well and the sound was clear.

Hi, I think the Tudor Pelagos range are great watches, however overpriced for what they deliver. I'm not comparing against the Sub, but other real value propositions like Oris' range of dive watches or Seiko's 62MAS reinterpretations like the SBDC051. Those are real bargains IMHO.

The depth rating on these watches has nothing to do with the helium escape valve. Unless you are part of the 0.001% of buyers who do long term saturation diving, it will never be an issue. I also suspect that hardly anyone has ever broken a Submariner by diving too deep. Normal people do not exceed even 50m down, much less 300m. But for everyone else a more relevant issue is lugging around a much thicker less versatile watch every day safe in the knowledge it is theoretically rated to a deeper depth, even though it will never be used that way.

The left hand color combo is the best one too bad the crown is on the left ruins the whole watch for me lol. Tudor is like the Rolling Stones you cant always get what you want...but well give you a concoction of stuff on each black bay but not exactly what the people want because we know what you want and youre not getting it lol.

I had one ans sent it back. It kept stopping whilst on my wrist. Got a rolex after that

As a saturation diver you are cooped up in a container down below for god knows how many week at a time, an analog wrist watch with date is very helpful. As analog dive watch are most suitable for saturation divers, it makes sense to have the helium escape valve. Scuba divers just use wrist computers.

Buying a dive watch, with or without HEV, luxury or common, has nothing to do with diving. Buying a Ferrari or a Jeep doesn’t mean I’m going to race or go off-roading, or even push either near its limits.

God loves a lhd

The pelagos is more comparable to the sea dweller and not the submariner. The pelagos is the way to go though its probably the best value in a luxury watch. Had to go with the blue pelagos it's a beauty.

Not a bargain Submariner, a better Submariner. Yes, Rolex claims the Sub is more accurate than the Pelagos, but both are COSC chronometers. The Pelagos is rated deeper, has a lighter yet stronger case, and a higher power reserve. The Pelagos is Rolex's modern version of the diver... what the Submariner would be if it was designed today.
