The Skeie's Difference
Elite Military Aviation Heritage and Triple Time Zone Tracking
Take to the skies and the seas with the high-performance TUDOR Pelagos FXD GMT (Ref. M2542G257NU-0002). Engineered in collaboration with the French Navy’s naval aviation force (Aéronautique Navale), this specialized Zulu-time tactical watch is built to meet the rigorous operational standards of military pilots and international explorers. The "FXD" designation refers to the watch’s ultra-robust, fixed strap bars machined directly into the main body of the 42mm satin-brushed Grade 2 titanium case, eliminating the risk of spring-bar failure during high-intensity missions.
The matte black dial serves as a high-contrast canvas for beige "Snowflake" hands and applied, monobloc ceramic luminescent hour markers that glow intensely in low-light conditions. Tracking a second and third time zone is made intuitive by a central orange GMT arrow hand that sweeps once every 24 hours, pointing toward a bidirectional rotating titanium bezel equipped with a 24-hour black ceramic insert.
METAS Master Chronometer Performance and Technical Fabric Architecture
At the mechanical heart of this military-spec explorer is the state-of-the-art Manufacture Calibre MT5652-U. Double-certified as both a COSC chronometer and a METAS Master Chronometer, this advanced automatic movement offers an exceptional 65-hour power reserve and superior magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss. The date wheel at 3 o'clock adjusts automatically backwards or forwards as the independent local hour hand is changed across time zones.
Honoring its naval roots, the timepiece is paired with an ultra-durable, flight-suit-ready olive green one-piece fabric strap. Woven on traditional 19th-century Jacquard looms by the Julien Faure company in France, it is secured with a Grade 2 titanium buckle and keeper loop. Complete with a screw-down titanium crown ensuring 200 meters (660 feet) of water resistance, the Pelagos FXD GMT stands as an elite, ultra-lightweight tool watch for the modern globetrotter.
