-LOVE the blue lume, especially on the bezel. Every since owning the Ball Aero GMT, I've come to really appreciate bezel lume.
-LOVE the matte ceramic bezel, polished ceramic leaves me cold.
-The clasp is an engineering work of art.
-LOVE the weight of Ti, my first titanium watch.
-LOVE the easy to read, highly dimensional and detailed dial.
-The overall size is perfect for my 7.25" wrist and 6'4" frame.

This watch has a youthful exuberance and bold attitude. Yet somehow it appears relaxed at the same time, much like the perfect vacation. The additional blue rubber strap will be a welcome change when the occasion dictates.

This completes my modern Tudor Land, Sea, & Air collection [more on that later].

Tudor has done it again. It's the brand that delivers the most for me over the last decade and I look forward to what Tudor releases next.
Great review and photos Dan

I also really like the how they’ve recessed the dial markers near the outer edge.

Congratulations Dan, it is a beauty.
Thanks for the great photos, which really give a good feel for the watch from various perspectives. The mini review sums it up nicely.
Hope you enjoy for many years.
I saw both blue and black on display last week, and you have motivated me to go check it out.

I'll be adding more pics and observations after I have some time to experience this amazing piece of technology.

And it ain't just bluetiful, my new Pelagos is running spot on, just like it's BB GMT brother.

Many congrats, Dan! Looks great, thanks for the review and photos.

This one has tremendous staying power.... it’s been out for a few years and still seems so fresh. It’s now a classic Tudor, IMHO.

Cheers! My favorite modern Tudor from a tech/appearance prospective. It wore a little large for me on the bracelet. I’m hoping they trim it down and offer a second size option at some point.

I had a feeling this was in the cards...after reading your Maui post the other day.

The Pelagos is a fantastic watch. Everything about the watch just works so well, the weight, looks, and feel all combine to make it the perfect all-rounder. Congrats, Dan.

BTW, which AD did you use?

Once again, many thanks for the kind words!!

It was only a matter of time before I had to give the rubber strap a go. And before the strap police descend on the crime scene, I've always preferred my straps w/ the buckle at 6:00. Much easier and more intuitive when strapping on the wrist and it also centers the buckle perfectly.

Have to say I love the rubber strap as well. Very comfortable and makes an already casual watch even more relaxed. Kudos to Tudor for making this option available as part of the kit.
