The Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition watches, introduced by TUDOR, embody the perfect combination of innovation, precision, and maritime excellence. These timepieces, designed in partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, pay homage to the competitive world of yacht racing and set new standards in horology.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Pelagos FXD models showcase a remarkable blend of cutting-edge materials. The carbon composite cases, featuring black matte-finished exteriors, exude a bold and sporty aesthetic. The fixed strap bars and the Alinghi Red Bull Racing logo engraved on the stainless steel case back add a touch of exclusivity to these exceptional timepieces.
One of the standout features of the Pelagos FXD watches is the bi-directional rotatable bezel. Meticulously designed with a titanium construction and a black matte-finished carbon composite insert, it not only adds a striking visual appeal but also offers functionality. The retrograde 60-minute graduation, filled with grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material, ensures optimal visibility, allowing wearers to track countdowns accurately—a crucial element in the world of regattas.
The striking blue matte finish of the Pelagos FXD watches will attract you as you examine the dial. Even in low-light circumstances, the luminescent ceramic composite monobloc hour markers improve legibility. The classic “Snowflake” hands, created by TUDOR in the 1960s, are filled with grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova® bright material, enhancing the readability of these watches even more.
Powering the Pelagos FXD watches is the exceptional Manufacture Calibre MT5602, certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). This self-winding movement boasts impressive precision, thanks to its non-magnetic silicon hairspring and variable inertia balance wheel. The MT5602 offers a power reserve of up to 70 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping even during extended periods of non-wear. With its robust construction and meticulous craftsmanship, this movement exemplifies TUDOR’s commitment to excellence.
The Pelagos FXD Chrono variant expands on the innovation by including the Manufacture Calibre MT5813. This chronograph movement is built to the highest standards and shows hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph, and date functions. The MT5813, like its predecessor, is COSC-certified, meaning it meets or exceeds the independent institute’s stringent accuracy requirements. It has a high-precision regulating organ as well as a column wheel mechanism with a vertical clutch, which ensures smooth operation and perfect timing.
Both the Pelagos FXD and Pelagos FXD Chrono models come adorned with a single-piece fabric strap, a hallmark of TUDOR’s commitment to comfort and durability. Crafted in collaboration with Julien Faure, a renowned French company specializing in textile manufacturing, the strap offers exceptional wearability and adapts seamlessly to different wrist sizes. The “Team Blue” jacquard-woven ribbon, with striking red accents, complements the overall design, while the titanium “D” buckle with a self-adjusting mechanism ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
The Pelagos FXD and Pelagos FXD Chrono “Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition” watches by TUDOR pay tribute to the indomitable spirit of yacht racing and the pursuit of excellence. With their innovative materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and precision movements, these timepieces stand as symbols of collaboration and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of horology.
