To celebrate its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, Tudor has unveiled two brand new Pelagos FXD models: a chronograph and a time-only watch inspired by yacht racing. Featuring technical cases fitted with Manufacture calibres, these watches embody the daring spirit that is needed to be a contender in the most competitive yacht race in history.
The Pelagos FXD “Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition” models come with several firsts that go beyond just the watches. A long-term partnership between Tudor and Alinghi Red Bull Racing was launched in 2022, the first time the brand ventured into the world of competitive yacht racing. In this centuries-old sport, victory comes by fusing a resolutely daring human spirit with the most cutting-edge technology. The watches were born out of this philosophy, by combining a high-tech carbon composite, a first for the watchmaker, with titanium and stainless steel, just like on an AC75 (America’s Cup 75) hydrofoil racing yacht. It’s also the first time Tudor has integrated a chronograph calibre into a fixed strap-bars case.
Wearing the same hue of the hull of the AC75, the matt dials put are finished in Alinghi Red Bull Racing Team Blue with a red-tipped seconds hand, the Chronograph model features red accents around the counters. On the 45° angled flange, between 10 and 2, a subtle “Alinghi Red Bull Racing” mention overarches the dial’s layout. The signature square hour-markers and “Snowflake” hands are fashioned from luminescent ceramic composite for optimal legibility in challenging conditions.
