Tudor Pelagos 25600TB Review

The Tudor Pelagos 25600TB model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a 5th class titanium case, 42 mm diameter and Miyota 9015 high frequency movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

At that time, studies on replicas were quite scarce; Reviews, especially in comparison with the original, were even rarer. However, this watch had a comprehensive comparison of KW, ZF and the original together, and this was written by a master who has now left this field; Even if you look at it today, it is still an extremely professional work. The result of the comparison was this: KW was crushed against ZF. Therefore, for a long period thereafter, the craftsmanship, reputation and ownership of the Tudor battle ax replica remained firmly in the hands of ZF.

In 2016, Tudor officially launched its new blue battle axe, and KW and ZF successively released replicas of this model. Although ZF was still slightly stronger in market performance, KW had actually also made huge progress; In the replica of this model, it was clear that KW still wanted to continue arm wrestling.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

After this blue battle ax replica was released, both factories immediately published comparisons with the original, and the result was almost neck and neck. So this time KW and ZF drew.

After 2017, KW gradually changed the code of the Tudor battle ax replica to XF and made improvements in its craftsmanship. ZF's focus had already begun to shift and it seemed that it no longer wanted to compete with the XF. Thus, in market performance, the Tudor battleaxe of the XF gradually gained the upper hand.

What I bring to you this time is the comparative review of XF's upgraded Tudor blue battle axe. Brand: Tudor. Series: Pelagos series. Model: 25600TB titanium watch. Dimensions: 42 mm x 13 mm. Movement: Japanese Citizen 9015 automatic winding mechanism. Functions: hour, minute, second display. Case: titanium alloy, ceramic bezel. Glass: sapphire glass. Strap: titanium alloy strap, rubber strap. Buckle: folding buckle, pin buckle. Water resistance: 100 meters.

So why is it called "battle axe"? Because the shape of the scorpion is very similar to the battle ax held by Scandinavian warriors in the Middle Ages. There are also those who call it "titanium potato"; This is because the watch is made of titanium metal. As for the "potato" part, she obviously doesn't like it very much, because it doesn't really sound good and is unfair to such a beautiful model.

Now let's see how to distinguish whether this watch is real or a replica.

Case and Body Workmanship

One point needs to be noted here: in old replica versions, the lume filler on the bezel could possibly turn yellow after a period of use; The new version has solved this workmanship problem. It is really difficult to distinguish just by looking at the appearance. However, when we open the case back and look at the movement, we can understand whether it is real or fake. However, in the new version, the rotor has been changed and an additional bridge plate has been added; Therefore, it is very difficult for a non-expert to see this.

In summary: the feature of titanium metal is that it is light and durable. Although it is a steel watch, the choice of titanium as the material ensures that the entire watch does not look that heavy; In addition, a small number of people may be allergic to steel, in which case titanium material is quite friendly. The Tudor battle ax is a truly successful watch; The model is both beautiful and useful.
