# Tudor Pelagos FXD Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Tudor Pelagos FXD is a rugged, professional-grade dive watch co-developed with French Navy combat swimmers (Commandos Marine FXD), blending military tool-watch aesthetics with luxury finishing in a lightweight 42mm Grade 2 titanium case, fixed single-piece fabric strap for extreme durability, in-house MT5602 automatic movement offering COSC certification and 70-hour power reserve, 200m water resistance, unidirectional ceramic bezel, and distinctive "marine stripes" on the dial and rehaut for superior legibility—ideal for adventure enthusiasts, professional divers, and collectors seeking understated performance over flash.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.7/10.0

**Material Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Grade 2 titanium case paired with sapphire crystal and anti-reflective coating plus satin-brushed finishing rivals the lightweight premium build of Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean.

**Dials & Design Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The matte black dial with bold lume plots, snowflake hands, and unique FXD marine stripes delivers exceptional legibility and tactical style, benchmarked against Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms military editions.

**Movement Metric (9.3/10.0)** - In-house MT5602 automatic with COSC chronometer certification, 70-hour reserve, silicon balance spring, and decorated rotor matches the reliability of Rolex's contemporary calibers.

**Versatility Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Slim profile, featherlight titanium construction, and discreet fabric strap transition seamlessly from underwater ops to everyday wear, outperforming bulkier divers like the Sinn U50.

**Brand Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Tudor's Rolex-backed heritage and consistent high-craft execution solidify its entry-level luxury status, on par with modern Grand Seiko or Longines divers.

**History & Innovation Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Decades of naval watchmaking culminate in the FXD's fixed-strap innovation for commando use, echoing the impact of early Rolex Submariners in military service.

**Functions Metric (7.0/10.0)** - Core timekeeping with Super-LumiNova illumination and 200m water resistance provides dependable diver utility, comparable to Seiko Prospex mid-tier models.

**Rarity Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Priced around $5,000 with steady production, it offers solid exclusivity via titanium but trails true limited editions like Omega's Ploprof 1200M.

**Complications Metric (2.0/10.0)** - Pure three-hander with dive bezel lacks added features like date or GMT, falling short of multi-function pieces from Breitling or IWC.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.9

## WM Collector Grade: A+

## Performance Insights: Excels in materials, movement, and design for tool-watch excellence, delivering outstanding value well above its $5,075 retail versus an implied fair price of $9,200.

## TPS Interpretation: Exceptional Value: The watch overdelivers on premium specs, innovation, and build quality far beyond price expectations, making it a smart long-term investment.
