Tudor pays homage to that legacy with the release of the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Pink”, limited to just 300 pieces. The dial with pink accents is for those who are out to grab their victory. The Giro d’Italia is one of the most prestigious Grand Tours in the
professional world. Tudor is also the official timekeeper for this race. The coveted “pink jersey” known as the Maria Rosa, which symbolizes victory at the Giro, has a storied history spanning more than a century. This race, which began in 1909, remains the pinnacle of cycling today. The Giro d’Italia is recognized as the toughest, most beautiful and most glamorous of the Grand Tours, and is an event that many cycling fans look forward to all year long. To get an idea of how grueling the race is, imagine this. Throughout the journey, riders will cover as many elevation changes as climbing Mount Everest six times. How can you not create a special timepiece for a race like this? Only 300 pieces of the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Pink” will be produced. You cannot take on a professional road race with
half-hearted preparation. With each kick, your body and mind are pushed to the limit, and danger is always present. Designed for professional cyclists, this watch needs to be strong enough to withstand extreme conditions and intuitive to use. Fast bikes are known to be made from carbon fiber, and Tudor’s new chronograph, aimed at bold riders, is also made from carbon composite. To ensure that the watch can withstand the unpredictable conditions of cycling, the watch maintains the robustness required by incorporating titanium. Robustness was not the only focus for this model. Ease of use while riding was also at the heart of the design philosophy. The tachymeter scale on a chronograph is usually designed based on the speed range of a car. In fact, many Tudor chronographs feature scales associated with motorsport. What makes the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Pink” so special is that it has a scale that corresponds to the speed range that the rider can maintain. The chronograph scale spirals around the dial, allowing the rider to see at a glance the average speed at which they normally travel. The tachymeter function of the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Pink” is specifically designed for cycling.

Black pull-through fabric strap in the same color as the equipment RACE READY DIALS This model, with its matte black dial and pink accents, is reminiscent of the Giro d’Italia coloring, while being designed with legibility as a top priority. The iconic square hour markers and ‘snowflake’ hands were invented by Tudor in the 1960s as a design that maximized the luminous surface for improved legibility. It is made from a luminescent ceramic mixture that provides optimal visibility even under harsh conditions. A 45-degree angled flange on the outer edge of the dial features a tachymeter scale, with the inner numbers focusing on the rider’s speed. A FABRIC STRAP FOR RIDING Tudor has been a pioneer in adopting fabric straps since 2010. Fabric straps are produced using 19th century looms by Julien Faure, a company that has been family-owned in Saint-Etienne, France for over 150 years. It is a unique product that combines quality and comfort. For the Pelagos FXD, Julien Faure and Tudor have developed a new strap structure. Black jacquard technical fabric with 22 mm wide pink stripes and traditional buckle. Perfect for bike riding. MANUFACTURE CHRONOGRAPH CALIBER MT5813 The Manufacture Caliber MT5813 powers the Pelagos FXD Chronograph, displaying hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date functions. It also features a matte finish typical of Tudor manufacture calibers and the iconic
open-worked monobloc tungsten rotor. Boasting a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and a silicone balance spring, the Manufacture Chronograph Caliber MT5813 is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and achieves high accuracy of -2 to 4 seconds per day, exceeding the standards set by the
organization. The highly functional movement is crafted in line with Tudor’s watchmaking traditions and features a sophisticated column wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. In line with Tudor’s philosophy of quality, as with all Tudor products, it is exceptionally robust and precise, guaranteed through a series of rigorous tests. This movement, which is based on the Manufacture Caliber Breitling 01 chronograph and incorporates a high-precision regulating mechanism developed by Tudor, with a unique finish, is the result of an enduring collaboration between the two brands. THE TUDOR MANUFACTURE All Tudor watches are assembled at the new Tudor Manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland, and are fully inspected to Tudor’s high standards. This new,
state-of-the-art facility brings together the know-how of watchmakers and the highest level of production control and automatic inspection systems, and was completed in 2021 after a three-year construction period. The Tudor red Manufacture spans 5,500 square meters over four floors and is located adjacent to Kenissi, Tudor’s movement
manufacturing facility, which was established in 2016. It is physically and visually connected to the manufacture. The network of Tudor-owned affiliates and Kennissi have enabled Tudor to integrate the development and production of high-performance mechanical calibers. As a result, Tudor now fully masters the production of vital components and can guarantee their quality.
