The Tudor FXD MN21 is much more than a watch: it is a tool designed for the most demanding challenges, designed in collaboration with combat swimmers. This unique piece embodies Tudor’s watchmaking excellence, and the operational aspect, with a bracelet dedicated to wearing the lifeline that binds all swimmers!

I let myself be tempted by this Pelagos FXD, while I already own the classic Pelagos (which I will review one of these days). They share the lightness of the titanium material, the reliability and power reserve (70 hours) of the automatic movement, the dominant blue, and the incredible quality of the luminova. But it is really not the same watch! The blue of the FXD is less "artificial" than its big sister, a slightly deeper navy blue, more discreet, marrying very well with the gray of the titanium. No date, which is for me an advantage in terms of sobriety and balance. The bezel is bi-directional, which is very practical (especially for combat swimmers!). And above all the lugs are fixed, no pumps risking breaking. This of course limits the choice of strap (it's not really a Nato that comes with the watch, but it's very comfortable and well designed), and therefore this watch is intended more for everyday, sports, vacation, casual use, than for dress use. Nice reminder on the case back of the partnership with the French Navy (and the vintage). The quality of the luminova is such that you can easily read the time at the end of the night. The watch is very pleasant to wear, between the lightness of the titanium and the possibility of adapting in 2 seconds the imitation Nato strap with velcro. It's certainly a fairly recent purchase, but I have a hard time leaving it, and I feel that it will accompany me all summer and much more. Another success from Tudor. We always wonder why pay double and wait 2 years for the cousin to the crown...

I bought this Tudor at the end of 2022 because I didn't have a diver's watch in my collection. Despite its diameter which may seem imposing, it fits my wrist perfectly. I particularly appreciate the details that make this watch a piece different from the others. The horns are fixed hence its name "FXD" which makes it a very robust case/strap set in line with its use since it is intended for the special forces of the French Navy. The bezel is bi-directional unlike so-called diving watches and its case is made of titanium. It is perfect for vacations if you only leave with one watch because it is robust and necessarily waterproof so you can keep it with you for swimming or any other aquatic activities. In addition, its blue color is perfect for summer. I do not regret this purchase and I plan to keep it in my collection for a long time.

Perfect readability, a sturdy and lightweight watch, a crazy charm… a history and military specifications. I haven’t taken it off for 6 months. It’s sublime. I was lucky enough to be able to acquire it at a Tudor pop-up store on vacation. I tried it on and bought it straight away. A favorite.

A surprisingly practical watch, a very readable dial both day and night with its bi-directional bezel that can be used every day for daily activities. Having served in the Navy, having the FXD Pelages Marine Nationale is a real tribute and pleasure and a strong emotion every time I wear it.

Great watch for all daily adventures. It is very light, quite thin and will be worn on all occasions. The case is made of titanium (therefore very resistant) and the bidirectional rotating bezel will allow you to prepare pasta with COSC precision. The partnership with the French Navy therefore gives an almost perfect watch. In summary, it is a great watch to wear in all circumstances, supplied with 2 bracelets and its 200 m water resistance will be sufficient for washing your hands.

This watch is very comfortable to wear on the 2 bracelets provided with the purchase and particularly on the scratch bracelet. For sports, swimming, this is the watch I wear. The fixed lugs (FXD) are one of the reasons that guided me towards this purchase. It really stands out from the usual Tudor watches and in particular from the other Pelagos and BB58 that I see on everyone's wrists.

When my AD offered me this watch, I immediately liked it because of its simplicity and the sobriety of the watch. For this diver, no mirror polish on the case and bracelet that make watches too flashy and too showy. No, a simple and effective design with a beautiful precise movement, I immediately liked this watch.

Since 1950, when TUDOR created one of the first modern professional diving watches, the brand has become the official supplier to the French Navy. With the Pelagos FXD model, with its fixed, very robust watch case lugs, TUDOR is renewing this historic collaboration.
