GOLDFINGER MAGAZINE 19 Featuring grade 2 titanium, luminescent ceramic composite monobloc hour markers, a rapid adjustment system for the clasp and a diver’s extension, the Pelagos 39 model combines TUDOR’s professional dive watch heritage with the versatility of a 39-millimetre case and the striking radiance of sunray satin finishes on its bezel and dial. The result is a sports watch that boasts both cuttingedge watchmaking technology and a chic aesthetic, as at ease in the city as on the shore. The Pelagos 39 model joins the TUDOR family of technical divers’ watches, with a versatile, complementary design. While the Pelagos, Pelagos LHD and Pelagos FXD models perpetuate a purely technical aquatic heritage, offering functions specific to highly specialised and relatively niche professional dives, Pelagos 39 is a compact and versatile, traditional mechanical divers’ watch, with a touch of elegance created by the shine of the sunray satin finishes on its dial and the insert on the bezel. The applied hour markers on the dial are made of monobloc luminescent ceramic composite, a feature that enhances the technical aesthetics, whilst considerably increasing the luminous surface of the hour markers. The dial is made up of two main elements, a sunray satin finish flat disc whose subtle shine contrasts with the matt finish of the 45° conical bead-blasted flange. Last, but not least, the name Pelagos stands out in glossy cherry red at 6 o’clock, disrupting the model’s two-tone colour palette. THE TUDOR DIVERS’ WATCH The history of the TUDOR divers’ watch dates back to 1954 with the launch of reference 7922. Waterproof to 100 metres (330 ft), it was the firstborn in a long line of dive watches. Affordable, robust, reliable and precise, it perfectly represented the brand’s tool watch philosophy. The seven decades following its introduction have witnessed the constant improvement of TUDOR divers’ watches and them gaining acclaim from professionals in the field, including some of the world’s greatest military navies.
