How do you pronounce "Pelagos"?

I've heard all these variations in the last couple of days. It might be interesting to know where you're from in the world to see if there are (obvious) regional variations (I already have an hypothesis ;-))

I'm fairly certain that D is the only correct pronunciation.  I've seen it noted that it rhymes with the incorrect pronunciation "To-MAH-toes".

Depends which side of the pond your from 😉

Misclicked, but I pronounce it C.  Given that it's a Greek word for sea, I suspect D is the most correct way.

Ask Hermione Granger how to say it.

Well I keep calling longines..lonjeans so maybe I shouldn't take part in this poll.

”Pelagos” is a Greek word. If we are to stick to the original pronounciation (which is debateable), it should be pronounced “PElagos” (stressing the first syllable and uttering the name without any pause).

A lot of people complain about Seiko's numbering system, and why don't they just name their watches. THIS IS WHY.

" . . . the end of archipelagos."

Is that the inspiration for its dial? If Grand Seiko made this watch, that's what they would say.
