The History of Pelagos

Introduced in 2012, the Pelagos collection quickly established itself as a benchmark for modern dive watches. Built for extreme underwater conditions, this collection reflects a rich legacy of professional-grade timepieces designed for durability and precision. Featuring sleek yet sturdy cases, helium escape valves, and exceptional water resistance, this collection became a go-to choice for divers seeking reliability in the depths. Over the years, the collection has evolved, incorporating in-house movements and advanced materials while preserving its rugged, functional design. More than just a watch, the Pelagos collection stands as a testament to innovation, adventure, and the pursuit of horological excellence.

Pelagos & Pelagos FXD

While both the Pelagos and Pelagos FXD lines share a commitment to professional-grade performance, a few key factors set them apart and widen the appeal of this collection. The original Pelagos features a helium escape valve, bracelets with a unique self-adjusting clasp, and an impressive 500-meter water resistance, making it a true deep-sea companion. The Pelagos FXD, designed with input from military divers, forgoes the helium escape valve in favor of fixed strap bars for extra durability, a fabric strap for comfort, and a slightly slimmer profile. With a 200-meter rating and a focus on underwater navigation, the FXD offers a specialized take on this iconic collection.

Pelagos Materials

Crafted for durability and performance, the Pelagos collection features high-quality materials chosen for their strength, lightweight feel, and resilience in extreme conditions. Titanium forms the cases and bracelets of these watches, offering exceptional corrosion resistance while remaining significantly lighter than stainless steel— ideal for prolonged wear. Ceramic bezel inserts provide scratch resistance and long-lasting legibility, crucial for underwater use. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal atop the dial ensures superior clarity and protection against impacts, while luminous markers enhance visibility in low-light environments. Every material featured in the Pelagos collection is carefully selected to deliver reliability, precision, and comfort, making these timepieces true professional-grade diving instruments.

Pelagos Complications

The Pelagos collection incorporates essential complications that enhance its performance as a professional dive watch. For instance, a unidirectional rotating bezel with a luminous ceramic insert ensures accurate timing for underwater excursions, while the helium escape valve on select models allows for safe use during saturation diving, while the date complication provides everyday practicality without cluttering the dial. Equipped with powerful automatic mechanisms, these watches boast impressive power reserves for reliable timekeeping. Every feature is purpose-built, reinforcing the Pelagos collection’s reputation as a timepiece designed to meet the demands of serious divers and adventurers.
