Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT on an Erika’s Original’s strap
An Air Force HH-60W pilot, during a crew swap, waiting for the second student pilot to get strapped in and fly. He is back at the schoolhouse for his second tour as an instructor, where pilots and SMAs learn to fly and employ the HH-60W and the fundamentals of combat search and rescue. He flew the HH-60G before that airframe was retired. "I'm old enough now that half of the other instructors here were my students my first go around." On the wrist, a Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT on an Erika's Originals strap. Have you ever worked alongside someone you trained?

Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT
The FXD line began as a watch Tudor built to a military specification, and the GMT version kept the habit. Introduced in 2024 and developed with French naval aviators, it answers working requirements first: a 42mm grade 2 titanium case, 200 meters of water resistance, and a bidirectional 24 hour bezel that lets the wearer track a third time zone on top of the two the movement carries.
Inside is Tudor's calibre MT5652-U, a true flyer GMT with a 65 hour power reserve, certified twice over, as a COSC chronometer and as a METAS Master Chronometer, with resistance to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss. Tudor calls it the Zulu Time, the aviator's term for UTC, the one clock every flight plan on earth answers to.
