Tudor continues its rise in the sports watch arena with a special edition Pelagos FXD Chrono tailored for cycling enthusiasts and fans of the Tour de France. Presented as the “Cycling Edition”, this brand-new version adopts a vibrant yellow inspired by the iconic jersey, while retaining the technical and robust DNA of the FXD collection.
The 43 mm titanium case retains its angular shape and fixed lugs, the signature of the FXD series. Ultra-lightweight and highly resistant, it is designed to accompany athletes through the most demanding conditions. Its sandblasted finish reduces reflections, and its profile, though imposing, sits comfortably on the wrist thanks to well-proportioned dimensions. The bidirectional bezel, fitted with a forged carbon insert, features a tachymeter scale brand new to Tudor, specifically designed for speed calculations related to cycling.
The bright yellow matte dial, punctuated with black, ensures maximum legibility. The chronograph sub-dials are positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock for quick reading during intense activity. The central chronograph seconds hand features a contrasting red hue, evoking the visual codes of racing. The applied hour markers and Snowflake hands are generously filled with Super-LumiNova, guaranteeing perfect readability, day or night.
As for the movement, Tudor has opted for the MT5813 calibre, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph based on the Breitling B01 architecture, modified in-house with a silicon balance spring and a traversing bridge. This movement offers a comfortable 70-hour power reserve and benefits from a construction designed for robustness, with renowned timekeeping consistency. It is protected by a solid engraved caseback, in keeping with the tool-watch spirit of the timepiece.
The black fabric strap with a yellow stripe echoes the colors of the dial and the Tour, while ensuring an excellent fit on the wrist thanks to its adjustable Velcro clasp. A second perforated rubber strap is included, designed for intense bike rides or wetter conditions.
With this cycling-dedicated edition, Tudor expands the horizon of the Pelagos FXD beyond the marine world. It remains a tool watch, designed for athletes, but with a new personality: brighter, faster, and more urban. A model with a strong visual identity, tailored for those who ride with passion and live to the rhythm of the peloton.
