The Tudor Pelagos reference 26500T stands as the Geneva brand's contemporary divers' wristwatch par excellence. The Pelagos boasts a strong titanium and stainless steel 42.5mm case which is complemented by a comfortable and resilient titanium and stainless steel bracelet and matching bezel. This singular divers' watch features a well-engineered helium escape valve and it further increases daily usability with the addition of a date and a matte dial.
Adding to the already impressive nature of this watch is the unique association with the British Army’s elite Parachute regiment, a highly skilled and formidable airborne force. This watch was offered to personnel of the 'Paras' in 80 pieces to celebrate eighty years since the regiment was founded, with the caseback including the Parachute Regiment emblem and locations in which the regiment received honours. The dial also bears the emblem at 9 o’clock. This example is number 38 of 80 and is the first to come to market since the release last year. The watch comes to us directly from a former serving member and is accompanied by the iconic maroon beret and belt signature to the uniform of the unit.
As far as future classics are concerned, this special order from a highly decorated and famous military unit is a fantastic opportunity to add an exclusive and contemporary sports model with military provenance to your collection.
