The Tudor FXD GMT takes the fixed-bar Pelagos into French naval aviation territory, pairing its stripped-back titanium construction with a second time zone. The orange GMT hand gives the otherwise sober black dial a clear point of focus, while the independently adjustable local-hour hand makes this a genuinely useful travel watch rather than just a watch with another hand.
Introduced in 2024, 2542G247NU is the starting point for this branch of the FXD family. Its bidirectional 24-hour bezel serves a different purpose from the dive-oriented bezels elsewhere in the range. The more consequential buying detail is underneath: those integral strap bars rule out conventional two-piece straps and bracelets. Make sure you enjoy wearing a pass-through strap, and remember that its extra layer beneath the case changes how the watch sits on your wrist.
What owners love
- The titanium case makes it surprisingly light for a watch this size, and owners often find it becomes their everyday choice once they settle on a comfortable strap.
- The matte black dial and bezel, warm-coloured markers and orange GMT hand work particularly well together in person. The lume also gets repeated praise for making the watch easy to read at night.
Common Criticisms
- The supplied green strap is a recurring disappointment: several owners find it too thin or flimsy, and the buckle holes don't always give them the fit they want. Switching to an adjustable elastic or hook-and-loop strap is a common fix.
- It is light, but it isn't small: some owners find the broad case and extra height from a pass-through strap too chunky for daily wear.
