Case #320 — Tudor Pelagos Black “2-Liner”  Ref. 25500TN

Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Very Good Pre-Owned
Scope: Watch Only (Includes Non-Tudor Box)


🔎 Case Notes

The Tudor Pelagos Black “2-Liner” Ref. 25500TN is one of the more quietly compelling modern Tudor divers — a watch that blends serious tool-watch capability with a cleaner, earlier execution of the Pelagos platform.

What sets this piece apart is the “2-line” dial configuration, a detail collectors often appreciate for its cleaner, more restrained text layout compared to later examples. Combined with the Pelagos’ signature matte black dial, square hour markers, and snowflake hands, it gives the watch a distinctly purposeful, no-frills character.

The Pelagos has always stood slightly apart from the rest of Tudor’s dive lineup. Where the Black Bay leans into heritage and warmth, the Pelagos is more modern, more technical, and more overtly built for function. The titanium case and bracelet construction keep it impressively light on the wrist for a professional dive watch, while the overall profile remains unmistakably Tudor.

This example is presented in very good pre-owned condition, showing honest signs of wear consistent with careful use. The dial and crystal remain clean, and the bracelet is currently sized to fit approximately a 7-inch wrist.

The watch is offered watch only and includes a non-Tudor box for storage and presentation.
