Tudor Pelagos FXD MN.21

The Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale 2021 was born from the collaboration between Tudor and the Hubert commando of the French Navy, with a design that meets the specific needs of combat swimmers.

Its 42 mm case is made of titanium, a material known for its lightness and resistance to corrosion. It is distinguished by its fixed strap attachments, directly integrated into the case, which give it the name "FXD" (Fixed). Its matte blue dial features luminescent indices and the characteristic hands of the Pelagos collection, ensuring excellent readability underwater.

This Tudor does not have a classic unidirectional bezel that can be found on all dive watches. Indeed, its bi-directional bezel graduated to 60 minutes is one of its major features. It is designed to facilitate orientation and underwater navigation operations for combat swimmers. It is powered by the automatic manufacture calibre MT5602, chronometer certified by the COSC. This movement offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The watch has a water resistance of 200 metres. It comes with a blue textile strap (NATO), suitable for its operational use (a second original strap in a less discreet blue is part of the complete set). This 2021 edition is notably recognised by the engraving “M.N.21” present on its case back.

This vintage is the rarest. Since 2021, Tudor has released a new version each year named after that year. In 2022 the MN.22, in 2023 the MN.23 etc. These watches are produced from January to December. This is why this reference MN.21 is the rarest as it was presented first in the current year and only had one month and twenty days of production. The first deliveries were made on 10 November 2021. It is said that there are only about a hundred MN.21 despite the lack of confirmation from the manufacture.

Sold with its original box, original tag, papers, second original strap, original case back stickers. The outer box is missing.
