Cartier - 2023 Tudor Pelagos FXD Titanium Black Dial (Ref. M25717N)

Worth A Read

History & Significance
Tudor’s Pelagos FXD line began in 2021 as a collaboration with France’s Marine Nationale, a project that brought back the spirit of issued military watches. Two years later, in 2023, Tudor expanded the line with the black-dial FXD, designed as a tribute to the U.S. Navy’s long use of Tudor dive watches during the mid-20th century.
This version maintains the core of the FXD design, a 42mm brushed titanium case with fixed spring bars, ensuring superior strength and security under extreme conditions. The matte black ceramic bezel is fully graduated and lumed, now rotating unidirectionally to meet ISO dive standards. Inside, the COSC-certified Caliber MT5602 beats at 4Hz and offers a 70-hour power reserve.
Unlike the Marine Nationale edition, the U.S. Navy-inspired FXD features a clean, unengraved caseback, a subtle nod to how issued military watches once bore markings only at the unit level. Paired with a forest-green fabric strap and an additional rubber strap, the watch blends heritage, utility, and modern craftsmanship.
Writer’s Thoughts
The Pelagos FXD feels like Tudor at its best: functional and historically aware, yet without being nostalgic. The titanium construction gives it a modern edge, while the clean, matte dial and fully lumed bezel speak to real-world performance. This U.S. Navy-inspired release hits a sweet spot between design and wearability, standing as one of the most purpose-driven watches in Tudor’s current catalog.
