Tudor Sets Sail with Innovative Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing Editions

Tudor has just set sail on a new horological voyage (and the next America's Cup), and it's nothing short of a sea change. In a stunning celebration of their partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, they've launched two remarkable additions to their Pelagos FXD collection.

First on deck is a 42mm time-only model (ref 25707KN), followed by a 43mm chronograph (25807KN), marking the first-ever Pelagos chronograph. Both pieces boast sleek matte blue dials adorned with vibrant red accents, paying homage to Red Bull's signature colors. But what truly sets these watches apart is their carbon composite cases, a dramatic departure from the Pelagos FXD's military roots. Furthermore, the matte black carbon composite cases are perfectly complemented by 120-click bi-directional titanium bezels, equipped with luminous 60-minute countdown scales. The chronograph version features an added date function at six o'clock. An Alinghi Red Bull Racing emblem subtly graces the rehaut, while the stainless steel case back pays homage to the prestigious racing team.

These Pelagos FXD watches come fitted with fixed bars and one-piece fabric straps made by Tudor utilizing a secure hook-and-loop closure system. The time-only model is priced at $3,675, while the chronograph variant comes in at $5,075.

Tudor has made waves with this evolution of the Pelagos FXD. The introduction of carbon cases and a chronograph to the Pelagos lineup marks a significant leap forward in its development.

The watch world has long been captivated by yacht racing, and these watches, born from Tudor's partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, perfectly encapsulate the spirit of competition on the high seas. The use of carbon for the case is groundbreaking, marking the material's debut in a production Tudor timepiece.

The captivating matte blue dial against the carbon case creates a striking technical aesthetic, heightened by the contrast of the titanium pushers and crown. While we await precise weight figures, these timepieces already exude an aura of rugged precision that's sure to appeal to Pelagos enthusiasts.

Beyond their connection to the racing world, both Pelagos FXDs are poised to make a splash among fans of this iconic collection. Despite their larger dimensions, the chronograph variant emerges as the star, representing a significant evolution in the Pelagos lineage. It pushes the boundaries of Tudor's prowess in crafting modern sports watches that marry innovation with style.
