Tudor's Pelagos FXD Chrono: "Cycling Edition" Unveiled

Introducing Tudor’s latest release: the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition”, crafted exclusively for the riders of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team. Designed to conquer the relentless challenges of professional cycling, this chronograph embodies the spirit of those who dare to compete in the world’s toughest races, including the prestigious Giro d’Italia.

At the heart of professional cycling lies sheer determination and unwavering grit. Every pedal stroke pushes the limits of human endurance amidst the inherent risks of the sport. Tudor’s mission was clear: to engineer a timepiece that not only withstands the rigours of cycling but also enhances the rider’s experience. Inspired by the lightweight prowess of carbon fibre bikes, the Pelagos FXD Chrono features a robust carbon composite case fortified with titanium elements, ensuring unparalleled durability against the unpredictable terrains of cycling.

But durability alone isn’t sufficient; functionality is paramount. Typical chronographs cater to the speeds of automobiles, but the “Cycling Edition” breaks convention. Its innovative tachymeter scale, spiraling around the dial, is tailored to the sustained speeds of cyclists, enabling riders to effortlessly gauge their performance at a glance. With key features like a 43mm black matt-finished carbon composite case, a cycling-specific tachymeter scale, and luminescent ceramic composite hour markers, this timepiece is the epitome of performance and style.

The race-ready design extends to every detail. The matt black dial, adorned with striking red accents reminiscent of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team colors, prioritizes legibility in any condition. The iconic “Snowflake” hands, a tribute to the Tudor heritage, boast Grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material, ensuring optimal visibility during the toughest rides. Moreover, the innovative fabric strap, woven with precision on 19th-century Jacquard looms, offers unparalleled comfort and robustness, making it ideal for enduring long hours on the bike.

Powering this watch is the Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a testament to precision and reliability. Certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), it exceeds industry standards with a -2 to +4 seconds’ variation per day. Crafted with a column wheel mechanism and vertical clutch, this high-performance movement is built to endure the most extreme conditions, a hallmark of Tudor’s commitment to excellence.

At Tudor, quality is a non-negotiable. Every watch undergoes rigorous testing at the state-of-the-art Tudor Manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland, ensuring unrivalled craftsmanship and precision. With a legacy spanning nearly a century, backed by the “Born To Dare” ethos, Tudor guarantees unparalleled performance and reliability, reflected in their five-year warranty.
