. What makes this special is that it reestablishes the brand’s long connection with the French Navy . The relationship dates back to 1956, when the scientific wing of the French Navy, the Groupement d’Étude et de Recherches Sous-Marines , tested some Oyster Prince Submariner watches for use in the field. As a result, Tudor became an official supplier to the French Navy in 1961 and continued supplying Submariner watches until the mid 1980s.
It was at the beginning of the 1970s, however, that Tudor began making the French Navy one of its most iconic dive watches, the Snowflake Submariner, reference 9401. These had bright blue dials and large, snowflake-shaped hands that were shaped in response to the Marine Nationale divers’ request for more legible hands .
The design of the new Pelagos FXD very much echoes the iconic 9401 timepiece. It has also been made with specific needs for combat swimming. The 42mm brushed titanium case has fixed strap bars cut from a solid block to make sure they won't break while on a mission. Speaking of which, as well as a fabric strap with a self-gripping fastening system, you also get a navy blue rubber strap included in the box.
