Why the Pelagos is iconic

Buying a pre-owned Tudor Pelagos — FAQs
Why titanium?
Titanium makes the Pelagos significantly lighter and more comfortable than a steel diver of the same size, while remaining highly durable and corrosion-resistant - ideal for a serious tool watch.
What is the self-adjusting clasp?
The Pelagos features a spring-loaded extension in the clasp that automatically adjusts to fit over a wetsuit or accommodate wrist changes, a genuinely useful diving feature.
Is the 39mm or 42mm better?
The 42mm is the classic full-size tool diver, while the 39mm suits smaller wrists and everyday wear; both share the Pelagos DNA, so choose by fit and preference.
