“Zulu Time”: A Tribute to Naval Aviation
Since the 1950s, TUDOR has supported the most demanding missions of the French Navy, equipping divers and sailors with robust, reliable instruments.
In 2024, this historic partnership enters a new chapter with the launch of the Pelagos FXD GMT “Zulu Time”, a timepiece specially designed for the challenges faced by naval aviators. Developed in collaboration with the French Navy, this model gives pilots the unique ability to track three time zones, with instant access to “Zulu Time” – the universal reference time used by aviators across the globe.

The story of the Pelagos FXD GMT is not just about keeping time – it’s about mastering it. Built to withstand extreme conditions, the watch is METAS-certified as a Master Chronometer, placing it among the most precise and reliable in its class. The satin-finished titanium case, engraved with the “Aéronautique navale” emblem, reflects its commitment to France’s naval elite, while the green fabric strap pays homage to tradition, inspired by the durable straps once used by French military crews.
The Pelagos FXD GMT “Zulu Time” is more than just a watch; it is a true companion for adventure — a tribute to sky-bound sailors who push the limits, flying night and day on demanding missions. This timepiece is the perfect fusion of Swiss watchmaking heritage and modern technical innovation, symbolising TUDOR’s spirit of adventure and pursuit of excellence.
