2016 was the last year that Fabian Cancellara competed in France. Now in 2025, he’s returning to the absolute pinnacle of professional cycling not as a rider—but as a team owner. And to celebrate his exceptional record during past years he’ll be wearing a touch of yellow on his wrist, a brand new Pelagos FXD Chrono produced in extremely limited quantities.

Fabian Cancellara has a special relationship with the most storied cycling event in the world, having led the race — or worn the yellow jersey as cycling afficionados say — for a total of 29 days, not to mention eight stage victories. His return to France this year as a team owner running a team that was simply an idea three years ago points to the powerful notion that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a product of commitment and consistency. On his wrist is the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow”, a totem to his days battling France’s most challenging roads in the brutal summer heat. You could also say it’s his lucky charm when facing challenges to come. Just 300 numbered examples of this watch will be produced. Number 7 is already spoken for, as that’s Fabian Cancellara’s signature number.
