The Pelagos remains to be an uncompromisingly elegant and versatile tool that can be used in various settings. Made from a lightweight material Titanium, this watch is feather-like on your wrist. This, however, does not take away from its essential features. From the dial, the bezel and its large titanium casing, you will find it resembling the early concepts of watch engineering. It also features a helium escape valve – a safety feature that prevents helium gas from blowing up the crystal from a watch case when the diver reaches the surface after a deep dive.
For clarity, a helium bubble will occupy a small volume at deep dives due to high pressure exerted on it. Once on the surface, the same bubble will expand due to low pressure. The helium valve provides a safe route for the helium to be expelled from the watch.
