Custom Open Ended Straps For Tudor Pelagos FXD
The Tudor Pelagos FXD has fixed strap bars — there are no spring bars to remove — so a standard strap can't be threaded onto it. The fix is an open-ended strap. We cut one in black Epsom, 22 mm to fit the FXD's bars, sized for an 8.0" – 8.5" (20 – 21.5 cm) wrist.

Why these choices
The FXD's fixed bars are the whole design — great for security, awkward for straps, because a closed strap end can't get around them. An open-ended strap has an open tip that feeds under the fixed bar and fastens, so you can run leather on a watch that was built for a pass-through band.
Epsom is a good match: its fine stamped grain is scratch-resistant and firm, so the open end keeps its shape against the bar. Black keeps a tool watch versatile. See it in our Epsom and black strap collections — all made to order.
