Seems you edited your post. The answer is simple. Grade 5 just as 904L is just as much a key point in marketing as any other. There is no evidence available from Tudor stating the type of Ti it uses, with that I am left to assume what, that they use the "best" but don't say it anywhere.
The Pelagos isn't less of a watch regardless of it's metal but it is a point to mention in the scheme of materials. Does one manufacturer use a better material...this began with your claim regarding 904L, but somehow can't accept that perhaps Tudor doesn't use the best. I'm perfectly fine with Omega not using 904L, I find that any watch using 316; a Nautilus, AP ROO, VC Offshore, Planet Ocean, etc. to still be very competitive and still the dive watch a Submariner can be, particularly as the only diving most of these watches see is around a desk. If we took a poll to see how many people bought there watch specifically for the sole purpose to go diving vs those who wear it land, I think it would be a land slide.
The way people baby their watches and at the cost that these luxury items carry, they see ocean water as much as the average Aventador sees track days.
