25610TNL, PELAGOS LHD, TITANIUM

A Tudor Pelagos LHD, ref. 25610TNL, in titanium at 42mm. LHD stands for left-hand drive: the crown sits at nine o'clock, the date at three, and the word Pelagos is printed in red. The black dial carries markers filled with warm beige lume and Tudor's snowflake hands, framed by a black bezel graduated for timing dives. Inside is the manufacture calibre MT5612, chronometer certified with a 70 hour power reserve, and every caseback is engraved with its own serial number. The titanium bracelet closes with Tudor's self-adjusting clasp. This example has just been fully serviced by Tudor with a new bezel, and comes as a full set with a rubber strap and a diver extension strap.

Tudor introduced the Pelagos in 2012 as its most technical dive watch, built in titanium with a self-adjusting clasp designed to tighten and loosen with a wetsuit. In 2015 it gained Tudor's own manufacture movement. The LHD followed in 2017, turning the crown to the left side of the case for divers who wear their watch on the right wrist, or who simply want the crown out of the way. It has become one of the most distinctive references in Tudor's modern catalogue. This example was originally sold in December 2021, was fully serviced by Tudor in August 2026, and carries a Tudor service warranty through 2028.

We sourced it for the asymmetry. Move the crown to the left and the whole watch changes: the case looks cleaner, nothing digs into the back of your hand, and the dial finds a strange, satisfying balance with the date at three. The beige lume warms the black dial, and the single line of red text is the only colour on it. In titanium it is light enough to forget about, which is rare for a 42mm diver. With a fresh Tudor service, a new bezel and the full set, it is ready for the next decade. Curated with intent.
