About this entry

87% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening.

EXD stands for "Exchangeable Lugs Design" (also "Exchangeable X Design"). Brand specs: Grade 2 titanium, 38mm bezel diameter (no separate case diameter), 46mm lug-to-lug, 10.35mm including the flat sapphire crystal ("clear AR coating", side not stated), 20mm lugs, 60-click bidirectional ceramic bezel with a fully BGW9-lumed scale, BGW9 lume on dial, hands and markers (C3 on the selected option), screw-down crown, brushed screw-down caseback, 200m. Sold on a 20mm strap with a titanium buckle; the strap material is not stated (photos show a striped fabric strap), and no bracelet is offered. The current version is the V2, which moved the bezel to 60 clicks with firmer action and, on BGW9 dials, uses lume blocks moulded in transparent resin instead of V1's extra printed lume layers (V1 slightly brighter). All four options were sold out on 2026-10-24, with a restock announced for November 2026. Black PVD options cost $10 more. The brand doesn't name an inspiration; the name, case and dial follow the Tudor Pelagos FXD. The larger EXD-40 is a separate model. Weight is not stated.
