TUDOR Official Release | Pelagos FXD Ref. 25717N – A Tribute to the U.S. Navy’s Legendary Dive Watch
In 2025, TUDOR unveiled a new addition to its Pelagos line—the Pelagos FXD Ref. 25717N, inspired by the iconic Oyster Prince Submariner 7016 created for the U.S. Navy in the late 1960s. This new release pays homage to classic military diving watches while incorporating cutting-edge materials and modern performance—a true blend of history and functionality.
Military-Inspired Heritage | Design Details
The new Pelagos FXD features a 42mm brushed titanium case with a signature fixed-bar lug construction, purpose-built for NATO-style hook-and-loop straps. Unlike previous FXD models with bidirectional bezels, this model returns to the standard unidirectional ceramic bezel with a forward 60-minute countdown scale—offering a more intuitive tool-watch experience for diving professionals.
The matte black dial embraces a traditional three-hand layout, showcasing Tudor’s signature snowflake hands and rectangular hour markers. These are coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova® X1-grade lume, which gradually shifts from white to a vintage beige tone when warmed, and emits a rich blue glow in the dark. A red “Pelagos” inscription at 6 o’clock complements the red stripe on the NATO strap, adding a refined military touch to the overall visual language.
M+ Factory FXD-2 Tribute | Ultra-Precise Replica with Enhanced Lume
To meet the demand of collectors and watch enthusiasts, M+ Factory has released its own tribute—the M+ FXD-2 (Ref. 25717N Replica). Based on an authentic original piece, this version is built with exact 1:1 proportions and attention to every detail, from case finish to dial layout and strap coloring.
Technical Highlights:
•Grade 5 titanium case + black zirconia ceramic bezel, using a press-fit mounting (non-glued), delivering premium feel and durability;
•Equipped with the reliable Citizen 8N-24 automatic movement, no-date design, and identical thickness to the original MT5602;
•Features rare X1-grade Super-LumiNova® ice-blue lume, glowing for over 10 hours in darkness—outperforming even some high-end Rolex models;
•Comes with an original-style textured fluororubber strap with titanium buckle, soft and secure on the wrist.
Every FXD-2 replica is crafted with obsessive attention to detail. M+ engineers conducted magnified comparisons against the original, adjusting every contour and marking until a faithful match was achieved. Because of its limited access to original-case resources and premium lume materials, the M+ FXD-2 is available only in small batches—“each piece sold is one fewer left.”
Conclusion | Military Spirit, Tool Watch Essence
Whether you choose the original TUDOR Pelagos FXD Ref. 25717N or the M+ FXD-2 tribute, both models uphold the true spirit of military dive watches: functional, rugged, dependable, and timeless. For collectors, tool-watch lovers, or vintage military design fans, this FXD is one not to miss!
