TUDOR took a standard Pelagos, already one of the most capable divers’ watches out there, and asked the simple question: What criteria would it need to meet for deep sea exploration? What would allow it to stand up to the technical challenges of operating in the twilight zone from 200 metres to 1,000 metres? The answer is the Pelagos Ultra. Its titanium case has grown to 43mm to meet a staggering depth rating of 1,000 metres. Luminescence has been thought through to increase visibility with two different colours: blue and green. The bracelet has also been completely redesigned with this deep-diving brief in mind.

TUDOR knows most people who wear this watch will never operate at 1,000 metres beneath the sea—but that’s not the point of it. This watch is an exercise in extremes, an idea born from “what if?”. It’s the product of designing without limits. Because if it could withstand the rigours at a depth of 1,000 metres, surely it could withstand, well, just about anything. The Pelagos Ultra model joins the TUDOR family of technical divers’ watches with a range-topping 1,000 metres of water resistance.
