An excellent design that has stood the test of time. The symmetry of the snowflake hands and the square hours markers is wonderful.
I think the dial is just so clean and interesting, it really is a great watch
42mm any day. Actually I just got the FXD in carbon case! love it!
Cool I still love the Mk1 with the ETA movement
I’ve owned all of them and after a few years of sampling I ended up keeping the OG ETA version. At only 13.5mm it’s stacked in between the current version and the FXD for thickness so it’s very comfortable on the wrist and I prefer the cleaner dial.
Yeah for my the Mk1 is the best hands down I'm not a fan of the FXD personally 👍🏻
Wanted one for a long time! Went with a Sinn EZM3 that popped up in the area and have since cooled off from the Pelagos. Love the name, love the look :) wears a bit tall, and since someone told me the beautiful blue one looked like a poker chip, cannot unsee it. Adore the snowflake hands, they keep me looking for one 🔥
I hadn't seen you one for a few years and after getting my hands on this I so want one again now 😖
Good choice with EZM 3. Hard to get one right now; factory quoting 24 weeks.
F&G has 2 in stock :)
How is your experience with the EZM3? I’ve been considering it as I do not have one in my Sinn collection. Cheers!
@@ClickSpringReview F&G is definitely the best AD (for Sinn) I have come across even though I didn't buy from them because they couldn't sell/ship to America directly. And if I had traveled to the UK to buy, UK doesn't refund VAT like rest of EU countries do.
Great review as ever. The larger size is a must if you are an ‘Oaf’ with large wrists. Loved the comment about the dial text being like the opening to the Star Wars films. Spot on.
That made me chuckle also matey
Awesome. I need one, no doubt. Great review here. My wife has a 1926 that she loves but hardly wears vs her Apple Watch. I have an old Prince Oysterdate from my Dad. That's it for Tudor in my house. 😢 Thanks!
Cheers Mat thats two very cool models you have there Sir its nice your wifey is into them to
I am saving up to get a 1926 41mm for myself, 8 1/2” wrist. I really like the way they look and sit on my wrist.
The Pelagos line is great. I had the 39 for almost a year, and as great as it was, I kept leaning towards the LHD, so I traded. So much more character with the LHD. Yes its bigger and chunkier, but it really wears just as well as the 39 on my 7" wrist. Another plus is the common lug witdth size of 22 on the LHD and black Pelagos 42 vs the 21 of the Pelagos 39. Great review Barry.
Thanks Chris , I'd love the LHD it as you say its more characterful , The white has a more sterile look to it but I still like it :)
Love your channel and reviews. Thank you! Being a Sinn fan, as well, I prefer the larger watches even with my average 7 1/4” wrist. I am fortunate to have a U1 DS Limited Edition 44mm. Even at that size, it’s perfect for me. I find that 39mm watches are too diminutive. The 42mm Titanium Pelagos is the perfect combination of size and weight . Be well!
Cheers Sir , I have a few more Sinn reviews coming over the next week or two you just may like ;) ps which Pelagos would you go for the one in the video or the LHD ?
I prefer the Pelagos you reviewed rather than the LHD. I am torn between the blue and black colors. Both are beautiful! Thanks, again, for years of informative and entertaining reviews!
I have 3 x Pelagos variants. The original rhd 42mm, and also a blue fxd unused, and a black fxd unused in my collection.
The original Pelagos is my go-to daily watch and much preferred than all others watchs in my collection.
Yes it is that good
I do like the original one with the 2 lines of texts and the ETA movement 👍🏻
I couldn’t agree with you more on your review and comments.
An absolutely great watch
Tough one between this and the black FXD
I have another Tudor review coming soon the P01 PS cheers matey
Thanks for this video! Makes me have a second look at this model.
Its still a masterpiece
Totally agree on the LHD model it gives it a little more character.
Looking forward to your opinions on the new Sinn models, should be interesting
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on them also Stephen
I own the same Pelagos you have here. I preferred the 42 because of the matte bezel and the stepped outer edge of the dial. When I look at the dial of the 39 it feels like somethings missing.
The only downside I would mention is that the Lume on the bezel patinas very quickly and becomes off white. This wont be a problem if you get the lhd version though. It’s a great watch you should pick one up.
The LHD is the one for me , the colours are prefect , I quite my job around 2 years to study watchmaking at University so until I finish this I'm out the market for big watch purchases
I like every detail of this watch, just excellent.
I love it myself but would prefer the Mk1 with the ETA movement as its a bit slimmer and only has two lines of text on the dial
@@ClickSpringReviewThe new FXD is thinner as well.
Unfortunate the FXD just doesn't do it for me
@@ClickSpringReview If only it came in blue I would be all over it.
@@z06cowboy72 I've had the FXD for almost a year, it's my most accurate watch. I'm probably going to swap it out for the blue 42 as I really find myself wanting a bracelet. I've had a blue Helson Shark Diver 38 titanium for over 5 years and it stays on the bracelet. Having picked up a few Panerai (233 & 682) my brain has been completely rewired regarding size.
I used to own the 1st, ETA based, version of the Pelagos, which I quite enjoyed but ended up reselling as I found it too thick. The current version is even thicker, so I wouldn't get it, nice as it is. I would much prefer the 39. Bhese days, I own a Tunor FXD Marine Nationale, which I find much easier to wear, owing to a slimmer profile, even with a single pass strap adding to its overall thickness. It's an outstanding watch, and a happy comporimise between the rsgular 42 and the 39, if one does not need a bracelet. Which is my case: I wear all of my sports watches either on rubber or nylon straps. Much more suited to the weather in Hong Kong, where I live.
Silicone straps are just so comfortable I like to swap mine around bracelets leather and silicone straps, I've loads of different straps. I'm guessing your not a chrono fan John
@@ClickSpringReview Why, because of my comment regarding the thickness? It's true I stay away from the Sinn chonographs, because I am yet to find one that's less than 14mm thick. But I am very happy with my Omega Speedmaster Pro, for instance.
I love the colours of the LHD. I can take or leave the crown being on the left side I just prefer that off white look to the hands and markers. Great review Barry
Thanks Peter The LHD model is just gorgeous it sooooo want one
I own this watch its superb. Very superb
Nice 😊
Love my blue version!
It’s cool watch which ever color you go for Dale
@@ClickSpringReview Definitely! At some obscure angles my blue looks almost black, but takes on that unmistakable blue colour in direct light. I just love it. The Ti bracelet's getting a little darker too now. 2021 model. Deadly cool.
😎
Oh I'm getting bracelet envy. And 39 for me even with 7.5" wrist. As the UA-cam most prolific Sinn poster would you take this over a Sinn u50 or an EZM 3/3f (left side crown)?
I'd love to have the LHD model and would even take over the a U50 🫣
@@ClickSpringReview considering your (I mean Bob's) Sinn collections i thought you would have multiple U's. Anyhow thank you
for the Tudor review; I was looking at one, black bay vs. Seiko SLA039/047 as they kind of have similar looks, but ended up with the U50S because you and Ryan's (priceless) Sinn scratch stunts.
😂😂😂
I love the LHD too, hopefully they make a 39 mm version, that case is beyond perfect, plus even better clasp than on the original. The standard 39 mm finishing is not appropriate for a tool watch, though.
I've not seen the 39mm in the metal yet , I'll have to check it out 👍🏻
Hi Barry, I'm actually a Tudor fan and I think that the Pelagos is a fabulous watch. This is not a version that I'd buy though: I'd go for the 39mm or the MN version. If I need 500m WR I'll just use my U50...
I've a real soft spot for this watch the LHD model for me is close to perfections Bob
@@ClickSpringReview You're right, it's a bit of an icon, but in its original size it's too big for me and the FXD would be marginal. That's the one I'd go for though: I've read that it works on smaller wrists too, with the fabric strap or a nato...
@@robertlock6041Former owner of a 1st gen Pelagos, current owner of a FXD, 7 in. wrist: I confirm that the FXD works better on small / medium sized wrists.
Tudor (and Rolex) dial text looks like the Star Wars opening text crawl
Many brands are like that Omega spring to mind , I like the Mk1 model of the Pelagos its a little thinner and only has to lines of text and houses a ETA movement
the SM version is nice too
Yeah I'd like to try the smaller model
If I was to ever buy one it would be the LHD.
👍🏻
Lug to lug 45mm? You need to calibrate your calipers, at least 50mm.
Your right no idea were I got 45mm from
I like a date so the 42mm for me. I am hoping that they make some changes to this model by adding a pop of color to the text.
What do you think of the LHD model do you prefer the colour of that one ?
I do, but the left hand drive is too weird for me. I also prefer the pure white super luminova over the faux patina@@ClickSpringReview
Thats fair enough 👍🏻
I absolutely love Titanium watches and in my opinion, this is the best Titanium watch there is.
It is a gorgeous watch but I'm still a fan of my Sinn EZM1
I actually went to pick one up the 39mm that is ,unfortunately when I picked it up I couldn't get over the super light feel of titanium. I was sick for a couple days lol
Ive two titanium watches and so I know what you mean
HaHa! That's funny! I own 9 Titanium watches now and absolutely love them. The lightness is the main selling point for me.
Check out the Ginault Silent Service with Date. Clean design, superlative bezel action, decent movement, and a fraction of the price.
Does look really nice but it steel not titanium even being its a standard grade SW200-1 movement I feel hit interesting they call it a chronometer 🤔 , I'll contact them and see if it can get one in for a review John
Yep. Found the ‘ever so slightly different’ detent at the 12 position on the bezel… eventually 😀
Just had to be gentle with it, I know you could 😁
Would be a cool watch if it didn't have a Papal Encyclical in the middle of the dial:
Logo
TUDOR
GENEVE
PELAGOS
CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED
ROTOR SELF-WINDING
500M
SWISS MADE
Some of Shakespeare's sonnets have fewer words than this.
😂😂😂 I do like the Mk1 which only have two lines of text
Tried this one & the LHD on loads of times & last year i was so close to picking up the LHD but after around 1hr of trying both watches on i went for the Tudor Pepsi GMT as i had my name down for a no date Sub and thought a GMT & Sub would be less similar. Still wouldnt mind a Pelagos though 🤔
I do like the new white dial GMT, did you get the Sub also ?
@@ClickSpringReview Yes, got 'the call' last month & absolutely love the Sub! I also like the Opaline diel GMT but glad I got the black dial, it looks great on an Uncle Seiko Jubilee with the Tudor clasp 👍🏻
@@n.s.g74 Non date Subs you great
How does it compare to Sinn?
Tough one but I think I'd go with the Tudor, its not as exclusive as many of the Sinn's but the Pelagos is just so cool , if I went for this model over the LHD I'd prefer the Mk1
I like the blue one at 42mm the best. The clasp could be better though.
The clasp on this one Rob is one of my favourites
How do you feel about the new bb41 monochrome? Is it challenging this piece?? I tried the pelagos 39 and it felt dinky. I have the OG 42 and I love it but it is a chunky monkey.. would u swap the bb41 for the 42 pelly?
The new BB41 does look good and I'm sure its a solid model but the Pelagos still stands out for me more, I personally prefer the MK1 model with the ETA 2892 movement more than the in-house as its slimmer and has less text on the dial
@@ClickSpringReview I hear you man,you have the mark 2 tho right like me?
@@dazlarg Yeah The Mk2 it technically upgrade but still I like the Mk1
I wish they release 41 mm and slightly thinner
problem what's best for you is the older Mk1 with the ETA movement and only has two lines of text on the dial as its about 2mm thinner but is still 42mm though 👍🏻
It would be a nice watch if it didn't have an essay on the dial....i mean 5 lines of text, really tudor? All it's missing is another line stating it's a watch.
Thats why the Mk1 is better with the ETA 2892 movement not only was it thinner but only had 2 lines of text Sir
@@ClickSpringReview Cheers buddy I'll take a look
@@ClickSpringReview what is the in-house movement like in the watch, is it a quality movement?
The MT5612 movement is solid, its advantage over the ETA one is the 70 hour vs 56 hours of power plus it has a full balance bridge but I'd still take the ETA as I can service it myself and get the parts for it
@@ClickSpringReview thank you, really appreciate the info
Ovo je tako dosadan sat
I have to disagree with you there sIr being titanium and having dial design it has plus the great clasp its unlike any other
