Tudor’s long-standing legacy of purpose-built dive watches hits new depths with the launch of the Pelagos Ultra, the most capable diver the brand has ever released. A serious evolution of the original Pelagos debuted in 2012; the Ultra ramps up the specs across the board without losing the stripped-down, tool-first appeal that made the original a cult favorite.
Crafted from Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium, the 43mm case is just a hair bigger than its predecessor but packs twice the water resistance—1,000 meters or 3,280 feet—making it the most robust Pelagos yet. Inside, Tudor swaps the previous COSC-certified MT5612 for its upgraded Master Chronometer caliber MT5612-U, certified by METAS for top-tier accuracy and anti-magnetism. The matte black dial has been refined for peak legibility. It now features enlarged markers and hands illuminated by blue and green Super-LumiNova compounds for fast reference in the darkest depths.
Functionally, the Ultra nails every detail, from its ceramic bezel and helium escape valve to its redesigned spring-loaded clasp with micro-adjustments and a blue accent indicator. It also ships with an integrated rubber strap and dive extension, making it as adaptable as it is rugged.
At $5,950, the Tudor Pelagos Ultra is the most expensive in the line—but it backs up that price tag with unmatched depth capability, technical upgrades, and a modernized, ultra-functional design. This is Tudor’s no-nonsense answer to the needs of serious divers—and it’s ready to go way beyond the surface.
