The black P on the rubber strap with 70hr PR is impressive!

That was a lot of work staying on the bottom for hours in fishpoo

Colors of the Fastriders are something to be desired.

No don't mind the wall of text, though it is such a "Rolex" thing to do.

I think the ETA Pelagos will be sought after in the not TOO distant future.

I wish I didn't flip mine but it is just too big for my wrist, so big the rubber strap would bulge out at the sides :(

Not sure if I will pick up a blue one, it is tempting and I love the design except it doesn't look any good on me :(

+1.

ETA movement 2-line Pelagos will not be made anymore and would have benefited from a limited production run. 2 to 3 years at most. We all know how the WIS community works and the desire for exclusivity/uniqueness.

I'm not saying that the ETA Pelagos will ever be exclusive or appreciate significantly in value but I certainly don't think that it will depreciate because of the new In-house.

Plus the extra lines on the dial don't work for me - dare I say a bit busy, so I'll happily stick with my 'old skool' Pelagos

[jjnd08]

That blue Pelagos is stunning. If I ever get another dive watch, it will be that one.

[stil]

I must say...I wasn't a fan of the Pelages before but I think it's growing on me. Especially the blue. Agree with a lot of you!

What's the price point? Anyone know?

[busytimmy]

Looks like the blue dial Pelagos will sell like hot cakes...

[stil]

Check out the new buckle....pretty sweet. How long until those spring wear out though?

Love the clasp! Not new though. It's been on the current gen Pelagos. I don't own one (yet!), but playing with it is fantastic. I'm sure some of the current owners could chime in about longevity, but I've been following this watch since it was released and I don't think I've ever read about a clasp failure

That's not new, it's been on the Pelagos since it was first released.

It's not a new clasp. The springs should last for years.

Blue Pelagos looks awesome, but the colored Fastriders reaffirms why Tudor may just remain at the kids table.

[linesiders]

Interesting, that newer movement is fairly large @ nearly 34mm

Certainly seems to be toeing the line for "tool watch" movement.

Yea...don't quite understand the Fastriders. Looks like a swatch or something.

I was hoping for something more elegant and what we got was something more gaudy.

Gaudy doesn't get it with me.

[Quotron]

Not really into the bright blue, would have liked a more subdued blue - almost navy - but I may warm to it.

The dial looks far too cluttered now. I know a lot of people felt the old dial was too stark, so maybe that was the impetus for the change.

If they ditched the fart valve (hev) and went to 1 line of text (depth rating) I'd be pretty excited about it.

[KBM]

Caliber discussion aside, the blue pelagos is a winner!

[puppet]

...and I'm totally in for the blue. Looks like a summer incoming for me!

[wiswrist]

the blue looks fantastic

[azguy]

God I love freakin blue, must own

[Nycturbovr6]

I agree the dial looks cluttered

[PoderEsBueno]

Great blue on Pelagos

[Maxy]

When you look at the dial without any bias- that 5 lines is really distracting.

They should have done away with Self-winding Rotor line as that would suit the Heritage models more, not with modern Tudors.

PELAGOS
CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED
500m = 1640ft

would have been fine.

[jjnd08]

Is it only going to be available on the rubber strap?

^This. Get rid of that self-winding bullshit, we all know it's an automatic. That's like car manufacturers in the 80s and 90s would put badges on the back indicating it had ABS.

The addition of an in-house movement definitely helps the brand. That's definitely one of the highest critiques of the Tudor brand. Although I would've been complacent with a 2892... Hopefully they don't raise the prices too much.

Now all we need is a chronometer Black Bay.

[hitman23]

anyone get a price on the pelagos yet? what are the odds it stays under $4.5k?

[puppet]

According to http://monochrome-watches.com/introd...ouse-movement/, looks like around $4200!!! give or take for exchange rate, of course

[SemperFi]

I would have liked to see the Black Bay with a black bezel...didn't happen.

[Mfrankel2]

Liking it a lot! Needed something "blue" to compete with the D-Blue for some wrist time. Maybe with those two, I'll be able to keep myself amused until I can manage to spring for a 40MM DD with the beautiful new blue dial. I think I'd then be quite happy with my "Blue Trifecta"
