At Baselworld this year, Tudor has released the Pelagos...and it is one AWESOME watch! From the updated bezel and dial design to the new bracelet/clasp, this watch is outstanding!!

42mm & Titanium, looks like a winner to me! I cannot wait to purchase!!!

Description from Tudor:

For TUDOR, 2012 is devoted to the sea. Following its chosen path, where style meets performance, the brand is presenting the Pelagos model, which is waterproof to a depth of 500 metres (1640 feet), is a fusion of technology and innovation. Its sporting character and impeccable reliability will meet the requirements of lovers of the deep and those who are passionate about the vital marine environment.

Some nice photos from the web:

Here is info on the Tudor Site -->> http://www.tudorwatch.com/#/en/pelagos/

I think that I have to go breathe into a paper bag now...

That does look nice.

Great size, especially with what looks like short lug lengths.

Love the blue lum too

Oh, and that satin finish on the Titanium, Wow

And the clasp. etc. etc.

Oh yea, I'd buy that if I hit the lottery

The finishing is outstanding!

I looked at this thread 3 or 4 times today to try to take in the pictures and info before posting.

While I can appreciate the heritage/history of the brand, the watch to me has a similar feel and look to many of the Deep Blue and other divers that have some out in the past year or so. Sure there are some differences and the clasp is very cool in the video - but others have clasps that do the same thing in a little different style or design.

To me is a cool clasp and over used movement worth the amount being charged? Probably not.

Just my humble opinion and that does not mean others wont love the watch.
