Hoping it is a new Pelegos and it comes with a new half link for the bracelet. Love my old Pelagos 2-liner but have to wear it on a NATO as the great bracelet is rather too tight or too loose. Infuriating!

Red on a dive watch doesn't make much sense from a practicality standpoint. Red is the first color to disappear underwater. Maybe it makes a fashion statement but reduces its credibility as a real dive watch.

Maybe they will introduce a Pelagos with less text on the dial .... lol

Not really, unless useful information on the dial is written in red. Even if the red totally disappeared at a certain depth you'd still be able to read the white number markers and hands. No different to the all black Pelagos in that respect.

remember the only watch Tudor that fetched more than 300K






Wouldn't it be nice if they did something similar
This watch ( or slightly different), limited edition 1000 or 2000 pieces

I'm not a big fan of limited editions like Panerai or Hublot but if they do it very rarely it would even support the brand

The Black Bay Black was the 'something similar' version that came out around this time last year.

I would love Rolex to release an updated version of this watch (no maxi case please), but as has been discussed many times before, they will not let Tudor use the Submariner nomenclature anymore.

Even with the clasp in the "open slide" position? I have found myself in the in between spot and that always suits me fine.

Tudor suprise release?

For those of you who like to decipher the graphics.


I hope the numbers aren't 1's and 0's. I don't need a smartwatch. But a new release of the Casio Databank would be awesome!!!!

Got me thinking Ranger again.

I can't imagine a serious diving watch like the Pelagos without a 60 min timing bezel.

I don't think a Pelagos GMT is happening.

I don't think it's a Pelagos (or BB) GMT. As much as I would like to see a GMT in the Tudor line, I think it would be a major release. Definitely Basel material ! IMO even a BB-date would be held till Basel...

This mid-year announcement will be something much simpler.

The last teaser tells me it's probably a 3-6-9 dialled version of either the Pelagos or the BB.
The reference to "Right" would suggest a destro crown position.

Let's see what the next clue brings to the table.

And then there's this.

The BB is a more suitable platform for a GMT than the Pelagos, which is toted as a "professional" diver's tool.

Now that I think of it, it would be very interesting if they made a 3-6-9 dialled BB 36 !

That would be the "Right" Tudor Ranger reissue !

Obviously this looks amazing, but a Coke version is so unlikely given this space is free still for a Rolex, however a Pepsi version is just maybe possible as an SS piece as it is a Tudor and thus significantly different enough to the Rolex WG. Probably a release like this would be at Basel under much fanfare, or on the BB.

I would say for a fact it is a pelagos. Tudor uses different shapes in the background on their website for each line. The square signifies pelagos. I'm leaning limited edition destro?

I'm in the same boat. stick a piece of moleskin on the caseback. it will make the watch wear about 1mm taller, but the bracelet will fit perfectly.
