The TUDOR Pelagos FXD ”Cycling Edition”

Tailored specifically for riders of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team, TUDOR introduces a fresh iteration of the Pelagos FXD model: a cycling-themed chronograph made with lightweight materials and functionality in mind. Crafted with a carbon composite case and equipped with a high-performance Manufacture Calibre, the matt black dial with red accents puts legibility first and foremost and is reminiscent of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team colours. This timepiece embodies the adventurous ethos of a team challenging one of the toughest cycling events in the world, the Giro d’Italia, where TUDOR proudly serve as the Official Timekeeper.

Beyond durability, the watch's design prioritises functionality during cycling endeavours, featuring a tachymetric scale calibrated for automotive speeds, reflecting their association with motorsport. However, the "Cycling Edition" distinguishes itself by presenting the scale in a cyclist-friendly format. Printed around the circumference of the dial is a 45°-angled rehaut, which is a re-calibrated tachymeter scale. The chronograph scale spirals around the dial, enabling cyclists to effortlessly gauge their average speeds at a glance. The tachymeter function of the Pelagos FXD Chrono "Cycling Edition" is meticulously tailored for cycling pursuits. The Manufacture Calibre MT5813, which pushes the Pelagos FXD Chrono, showcases hour, minute, and second hands, along with chronograph and date features. It boasts the characteristic matt finish of TUDOR Manufacture Calibres and includes a distinctive tungsten openwork monobloc rotor.

Professional cycling demands resilience and skill, with riders pushing themselves to their limits physically and mentally, amidst the inherent risks of the sport. A watch for this domain must endure the rigours of cycling while being user-friendly. Recognising the supremacy of carbon fibre in bike construction, TUDOR has chosen carbon composite for the case of this new chronograph, catering to audacious riders. Reinforced with titanium components, the watch ensures durability, essential for withstanding the unpredictable terrains encountered in cycling.

The new TUDOR Pelagos FXD “Cycling Edition” will be adorned by TUDOR’s Pro Cycling Team which is led by Swiss cycling icon Fabian Cancellara as they take part in the Giro D’Italia for the very first time. Under Cancellara's guidance, the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team has assembled a roster of talented cyclists who embody the same principles and ethics needed for success.

It's said that no one wins a Grand Tour by chance. The elite cyclists will gather in Italy for the 107th edition of the Giro d'Italia in 2024, aiming to claim the coveted pink jersey. The Giro stands out as one of the premier Grand Tours in professional cycling, with TUDOR serving as the Official Timekeeper. The iconic maglia rosa, or "pink jersey," symbolising triumph in the Giro, carries over a century of rich history. Originating in 1909, the race endures as a pinnacle of cycling. For many enthusiasts, the Giro d'Italia epitomises the pinnacle of excitement in the cycling calendar, renowned for its formidable challenges, stunning landscapes, and vibrant atmosphere. To grasp the sheer difficulty of the event, consider this: Riders will tackle an elevation gain equivalent to ascending Mt. Everest six times throughout the race.
