TUDOR, renowned for its dedication to precision and innovation, unveils the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition,” a timepiece designed in collaboration with the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team. Crafted to meet the rigorous demands of professional cycling, this chronograph combines lightweight construction with functionality tailored specifically for riders tackling the world’s most challenging races, including the prestigious Giro d’Italia.
Durability and Performance
Professional cycling is a sport that pushes the boundaries of human endurance and skill, demanding equipment that can withstand extreme conditions. The Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition” features a carbon composite case, offering exceptional strength while remaining lightweight. Titanium elements further enhance durability, ensuring the watch can withstand the rigors of competitive cycling.
Tailored for Cyclists
Beyond its durability, the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition” is designed to be a valuable tool for riders during their time on the bike. Unlike traditional chronographs calibrated for automobile speeds, this watch features a cycling-specific tachymeter scale. The scale is ingeniously arranged in a spiral around the dial, allowing cyclists to easily read average speeds at a glance. This thoughtful design ensures that the watch remains both practical and intuitive for cyclists in action.
Race-Ready Design
The watch’s matte black dial, accented with striking red details, pays homage to the colors of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team. Enhanced legibility is achieved through luminescent ceramic composite hour markers and TUDOR’s iconic “Snowflake” hands, originally designed in the 1960s for improved visibility. The dial also boasts a recalibrated tachymeter scale, positioned on a 45°-angled rehaut, focusing on the speeds relevant to cycling.
A Strap Designed for Performance
The Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition” comes equipped with a one-piece technical fabric strap, developed to offer unparalleled comfort and durability during long rides. Manufactured by Julien Faure using 19th-century Jacquard looms in France, this strap epitomizes TUDOR’s commitment to quality and innovation. Its robust construction and ergonomic design make it the perfect companion for cyclists seeking peak performance.
