I'm not a fan of this. My excitement went down the drain, really.
I've been made to understand that the Black Bays are more of a collective interpretation of the older vintage Tudor Subs and the Pelagos is a modern dive watch with all the bells and whistles. But now they apply vintage cues to the Pelagos and it just doesn't work for me. The markers just looks a bit weird with the vintage lume (not very vintage looking I must say) on modern hands and square markers. And the roulette wheel...what's the point of that?
Very bold move, will have its fair share of lovers and haters. I just hope they're not taking the Panerai route (bronzo, destro, what's next?) but looks like it's going that way. I guess the departure of ex-Tudor chief designer David Cerrato who left for Montblanc really changed Tudor's whole design and product strategy.
