Tudor Collector Breaks Down The Pelagos FXD

November 15, 2021

Last week, shortly after having a chance to see the new Pelagos FXD in the metal, I knew who I had to call for this episode of HODINKEE Radio C Ross Povey. Ross is the man behind TudorCollector.com and he has a deep love for all things Tudor and a special interest in the brand's historical work with various military outfits, including the Marine Nationale. As you can imagine, the Pelagos FXD is firmly in his wheelhouse.? Ross was kind enough to jump on a call from his home in the UK to offer the collector and historical context for this oddball dive watch. We get into the lineage of the Pelagos, the history of Tudor's work with the MN (and others), the response from the ever-obsessive collector community, and why MN 21 is likely the one to have. A big thanks to Ross for being on the show; we hope you love it.?
