Looks different at the lugs too. Maybe a different size case….

He doesn’t strike me as the type to accidentally do anything.

Nice blue. And only a three liner. Dial definitely not smaller though. Probably the prototype Marine Nationale we didn’t get last spring.

Was that stated to be an LE?

No date and an actual nice blue make for a killer Pelagos. But not if it’s an LE that will go for double.

I like the idea of a ND Pelagos with less writing on the dial, but I’m not a fan of a countdown bezel on a diver.

It was on their IG stories in May.

Do want. Does the countdown bezel have some sort of MN historical significance?

Photos from that link suggest fixed lugs and it appears to me to be a smaller, thinner case. The 200m rating suggests this too.

I would expect a MN model to use “French blue” as its color.

With fixed lugs, a smaller titanium Pelagos would be a nice take on a modern version of a Milsub. It seems plausible too, since Tudor gave us the P01 with its odd lugs.

I’m not feeling that case design. Is it historically accurate? If not, fixed spring bars like a milsub would have been much better - even more so if they were somehow removable with a tool (like an old PAM).

I've been wanting that for a while. Shortly after I joined this forum, I went to an AD, hell I even called AMEX, and I was going to buy a Pelagos, by God.
As I've said before. the blue didn't work for me, but with most everything else, the damn watch was too big for me.

Not historically correct as far as I know.

Keep in mind that Tudor has demonstrated a bit of a funky edge at times, so this wouldn’t be for everyone.

Being that I do like to wear some watches on nato straps, this one could work for me.

I've been busy and not really paying attention, so it's no drilled lugs?

Need to see better pics and the specs. Cool idea though.

Apparently, I really never really looked at the pics. Told you I was not paying attention. Thanks Jason, my bad. Another no for me.

If fixed bars/lugs get much discussion here, I missed it, and they're so out of mind to me, that it never even registers. I get Tudor's intent and the fact that there is some legitimacy in having fixed bars, but man, is it ultra restrictive, especially if you don't care for natos or anything else I've seen.

If the lugs look like these photos, you’d also have to cut the case up. These aren’t fixed lugs as on a CWC, they appear to be significantly different.

If serious, PM me. I have a couple of watches which may need to have the lugs drilled.
