Overview
Milind Soman visits Cooke & Kelvey, New Delhi, and chooses the TUDOR Pelagos Ultra, a professional dive watch shaped by TUDOR’s Born to Dare philosophy.
Milind Soman’s approach to fitness and endurance has long centred on discipline, consistency and the willingness to push beyond familiar limits. These qualities also find an expression in TUDOR’s Born to Dare philosophy, which celebrates people who challenge conventions and pursue demanding goals.
Recently, Milind Soman visited Cooke & Kelvey in New Delhi to explore the brand’s collection. The visit culminated in his choice of the TUDOR Pelagos Ultra, a professional dive watch engineered for demanding underwater environments.
A Visit to Cooke & Kelvey
Located on Janpath, Cooke & Kelvey has a long-standing association with luxury watchmaking and retail in India. As an official TUDOR retailer, it offers watch enthusiasts an opportunity to explore the brand’s collections and understand the design and technical details that distinguish individual models.
For Milind Soman, whose interests extend to endurance sports and physical challenges, the TUDOR collection offered a range of watches shaped by the brand’s emphasis on functionality, durability and performance.

The TUDOR Pelagos Ultra: Engineered for the Deep
The Pelagos Ultra is one of TUDOR’s most technically capable dive watches. Its 43 mm titanium case offers water resistance to 1,000 metres, while a helium escape valve supports its use in saturation-diving environments. The lightweight properties of titanium make it particularly suited to a watch designed for demanding conditions.
The matte black dial features prominent hour markers and hands designed for clear reading underwater. Its two-colour luminescence helps distinguish key indications in low-light conditions, an important consideration when visibility is limited.
Powering the watch is the Manufacture Calibre MT5612-U, a self-winding mechanical movement certified by both COSC and METAS. It offers a 65-hour power reserve, combining precision with the practical advantage of being able to run for more than two days when unworn.
The titanium bracelet is equipped with TUDOR’s T-fit adjustment system, allowing the wearer to make fine adjustments to the fit without tools. A diver’s extension accommodates use over a diving suit, while an additional black rubber strap provides an alternative wearing option.
Together, these features give the Pelagos Ultra a clear technical identity. Every element, from its case material and movement to its underwater legibility, reflects the requirements of a professional dive watch.



Milind Soman’s Choice and the Born to Dare Philosophy
Milind Soman’s choice of the Pelagos Ultra brings the visit into focus. Known for his commitment to fitness and endurance challenges, he has built a public profile around an active lifestyle and the pursuit of physical goals. His interest in endurance offers a natural point of connection with TUDOR’s Born to Dare philosophy.
For TUDOR, daring is expressed through both people and products. Its involvement in endurance sport is particularly visible through its association with the UTMB World Series, a leading circuit of trail-running events. Trail running and ultra-distance racing require preparation, resilience and the ability to manage changing conditions over long distances. These demands offer a compelling parallel to TUDOR’s emphasis on purposeful design and performance.

The connection is not that a dive watch serves the same function as equipment used in endurance running. Rather, both reflect an appreciation for preparation, reliability and the confidence to take on a challenge. The Pelagos Ultra expresses these principles through its technical capabilities and its purpose-built construction.
