This TUDOR Pelagos Titanium reference 25407 is an amazing modern dive watch with a cool history made for the watch collectors club at Google. It was created in collaboration with Google and available for purchase with the company’s group Watches@. It features the Google Chrome Dino at the 6 o’clock dial positions and as an engraving on the case-back. The sports watch measures 39mm in diameter. The case and bracelet are titanium.
A Google Chrome PR manager who was part of the order and creation process, the group worked with Bay Area retailer Shreve and Co. for more than a year to secure Tudor’s approval and finalize the design. The result was a run of 617 pieces, pre-ordered in July 2024 and delivered that December.
What sets this version apart from the standard issue variety is immediately visible on the dial, in the form of a small, pixelated dinosaur at 6 o’clock.
For those not immersed in internet culture, the creature is what’s generally known as the Chrome Dinosaur, a.k.a. the official digital mascot and lead character in Google Chrome’s beloved Easter Egg and offline game, which was built into the Chrome browser as a hidden game in 2014 by a small team, in a playful nod to the “prehistoric ages” of offline computing.
