Entry to the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève is voluntary and made by the brand. An entry is a watch registered for that year's competition, not a jury verdict, and several large houses including Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega do not take part at all.
The 39mm titanium Pelagos with ceramic bezel and helium valve offers a technical dive watch specification at a price that undercuts most Swiss professional dive alternatives.
The Sport category at GPHG 2023 held 20 entries. These are the other 19.

In-house MT5612 or MT5613 movement with METAS certification visible on caseback distinguishes genuine Pelagos from fakes
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| movement | MT5612/MT5613 in-house calibre | "Tudor MT5612" (no date) or "MT5613" (date) engraved; COSC or METAS certification per variant; manufacture movement architecture; rotor visible through exhibition caseback; "Tudor" signed | ETA 2824 on a claimed in-house Pelagos (year mismatch); movement unsigned; calibre inconsistent with documented production year; no exhibition caseback |
| case | Titanium case and helium valve | Titanium brushed case; significantly lighter than steel equivalent; helium escape valve at 10 screw-in; "500m / 1650ft" on caseback; screw-down crown; 42mm diameter | Magnetic attraction (titanium is non-magnetic); incorrect water resistance rating; helium valve absent or non-functional; weight inconsistent with titanium |
| dial | Dive dial with luminous plots and rotating bezel | "Tudor" and "Pelagos" on dial; date window position per variant; large luminous plots with heavy fill; ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel; 60-minute scale; bezel ratchet engages in one direction only | Bi-directional rotating bezel; missing "Pelagos" text; luminous plots that do not glow; bezel without ceramic insert on post-2012 examples |
The Pelagos is Tudor's professional dive reference, built on a titanium case with COSC certification and a ceramic bezel. The titanium construction and the specific bezel ceramic quality are the two tells most often missed on replica examples.
