Tudor Pelagos 25600TN - Black Dial - Ceramic Matte Bezel - Full Set

Introduced in 2012, the Tudor Pelagos represents an important chapter in the modern history of the brand’s professional diving watches. Its roots lie in Tudor’s longstanding involvement in underwater exploration, a tradition dating back to 1954 with the introduction of the Oyster Prince Submariner. Over the following decades, Tudor dive watches earned a reputation for reliability and robustness, becoming trusted instruments among professional divers and military organisations, including the French Navy. This heritage continues to shape the Pelagos collection, which combines the demands of professional diving with contemporary watchmaking technology.

The present example, reference 25600TN, belongs to the generation introduced in 2015, marking a significant milestone in the model’s evolution with the adoption of Tudor’s first in-house manufacture movement. This development represented an important step in the brand’s technical progression, enhancing the performance of one of its most advanced professional tool watches. The model is powered by the MT5612 automatic calibre, a COSC-certified movement offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

The 42 mm case, crafted from titanium and steel, embodies the functional philosophy behind the Pelagos. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, titanium is particularly well suited to demanding environments and prolonged wear. The unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert reinforces the watch’s professional diving credentials, while the matte black dial, featuring generously proportioned luminous hour markers and hands, ensures excellent legibility in low-light conditions. With a water-resistance rating of 500 metres, the Pelagos stands among the most capable mechanical dive watches in Tudor’s collection.

Beyond its technical specifications, the Pelagos is distinguished by a design language that prioritises functionality over ornamentation. Its satin-brushed surfaces, robust proportions and purposeful details create a contemporary aesthetic that remains faithful to the essential principles of professional diving instruments. In this respect, the Pelagos represents a natural evolution of Tudor’s utilitarian watches from the second half of the twentieth century, translating decades of experience into a modern and highly specialised timepiece.

The watch is preserved in excellent overall condition, showing only light signs of normal use. It is accompanied by its original Set, comprising the presentation Box, outer box, Warranty card dated April 2021 and accompanying booklets. 

The original rubber strap, complete with its wetsuit extension, is also included, reflecting the watch’s professional diving purpose and completing its original presentation.

Combining Tudor’s longstanding heritage in professional diving watches with the technical innovations of its modern manufacture, the Pelagos reference 25600TN represents a compelling expression of contemporary Swiss tool-watch design. Its lightweight titanium construction, in-house movement and complete original set make it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the balance of historical heritage, technical performance and understated functionality.
