Tudor's latest limited edition chronograph is built for pro cycling
Tudor's newest chronograph isn't just inspired by pro cycling – it's built for it. The Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Yellow' is a lean, mean race timing machine created in partnership with cycling legend Fabian Cancellara, who returns to France this summer not as a rider, but as a team owner. And he'll be doing so with a flash of yellow on his wrist – a nod to his 29 days in the Tour de France's famous maillot jaune. It follows the striking pink Pelagos FXD Chrono – in my view, one of the best watches ever made for sport and cycling – and continues Tudor's push to build genuinely useful tools for the toughest conditions. Only 300 numbered pieces of this Yellow model are being made, with number 7 already allocated to Cancellara himself. It's a fitting tribute for a rider who not only conquered some of France's toughest roads but helped shape the modern era of competitive cycling. The watch itself is a serious piece of kit. Its case is made from lightweight carbon composite with titanium elements, paired with fixed strap bars for strength. A matte black dial with bright yellow accents keeps things legible, even when you're riding hard in harsh light. What makes this chronometer built specifically for cycling? The cycling-specific tachymeter. Unlike the traditional car-focused scale, this one spirals around the dial and is tuned to the kind of speeds actual cyclists hit – perfect for checking average velocity on the fly. At its heart is the robust Manufacture Calibre MT5813 – a chronometer-certified movement with a 70-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring, column wheel, and vertical clutch. It's derived from the Breitling 01 movement but modified and finished by Tudor, offering the sort of bulletproof reliability you'd want in the heat of competition. The strap is equally thought through: a black 22mm jacquard-woven technical fabric band with a yellow centre stripe, created in France on 19th-century looms by Julien Faure. It's breathable, secure and built for action. This isn't just a watch dressed up in cycling colours – it's been engineered with the sport's realities in mind. From material choices to functional layout, it's ready for race day and the rough road ahead. The Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Yellow' is available now in highly limited numbers, priced at $5600 in the US and £4650 in the UK. Liked this?

TUDOR's Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' Is An Epic Ode To The Giro d'Italia
The Giro d'Italia is one of the most prestigious Grand Tours in the professional circuit, and TUDOR is the Official Timekeeper of the race. The coveted Maglia Rosa, or 'pink jersey', that represents victory at the Giro has over a century of storied history behind it. To get an idea of just how challenging the race is, consider this: The riders will experience the elevation gain of going up Mt. Everest six times over the course of the race. If that isn't worthy of making a race-specific watch for, then we don't know what is. Enter the Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink,' of which only 300 units will be produced. Professional cycling isn't for the faint of heart. Riders' bodies and minds are pushed to the absolute limit with every pedal stroke, not to mention the incredible danger of the sport. A watch engineered with professional cycling in mind needs to stand up to the extreme demands of the sport, while being easy for the rider to operate. It's no secret that the fastest bikes are made of carbon fibre, and that's why TUDOR opted for carbon composite for the case of the new chronograph designed with daring riders in mind. The implementation of titanium elements help make the watch necessarily robust, as it will certainly face the unpredictable conditions presented by cycling. It's not only the durability of the watch that was considered during its design phase. It's also meant to be useful to riders while they're putting in time on the bike. It's typical for the tachymetric scale of a chronograph to be calibrated to the speeds an automobile is capable of; indeed, many TUDOR chronographs feature a scale typically associated with motorsport. What makes the Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' special is that the scale is presented in a way that's suited for the speeds that cyclists can sustain. The chronograph scale is 'wrapped' around the dial in a spiral, allowing the average speeds that cyclists routinely operate at to be read at a glance. The tachymeter function on the Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' has been specifically designed for cycling. Race Ready Dials The matt black dial with pink accents puts legibility first and foremost and is reminiscent of the colours associated with the Giro d'Italia. The signature square hour-markers and 'Snowflake' hands, designed back in the sixties by TUDOR to offer larger luminous surfaces and thus improve legibility, are fashioned from luminescent ceramic composite for optimal legibility in challenging conditions. Around the circumference of the dial, printed on a 45°-angled rehaut, is a re-calibrated tachymeter scale whose inner ring focuses on the speeds that cyclists ride at. A Fabric Strap For Riding The single-piece fabric strap is one of the hallmarks of TUDOR, which in 2010, became one of the first watchmaking brands to offer it with its watches. Woven in France on 19th century Jacquard looms by the Julien Faure company in the St-Etienne region, its manufacturing quality, robustness and comfort on the wrist are unique. For the Pelagos FXD models, a highly technical strap construction was developed by TUDOR and Julien Faure. Made up of a 22mm black jacquard-woven technical fabric with a pink stripe and a traditional buckle, it's perfect for putting in time on the bike. Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813 The Manufacture Calibre MT5813, powering the Pelagos FXD Chrono, displays hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date functions. It also bears the matt finish typical of TUDOR Manufacture Calibres and comes complete with a signature tungsten openwork monobloc rotor. Boasting a 'weekend-proof' 70-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring, the Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813 is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), with its performance exceeding the standards set by this independent institute at -2 and +4 seconds' variation per day, tested on every fully assembled chronograph. A high-performance movement, it was crafted in the purest watchmaking tradition, with a column wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. Derived from the Manufacture Calibre Breitling 01 chronograph, with a high-precision regulating organ developed by TUDOR and exclusive finishes, this movement is the result of a lasting collaboration between the two brands.

Action-packed trio of new watches
Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' [SINGAPORE] Tudor continues its bold partnership with the Giro d'Italia, unveiling the Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' – a limited edition of just 300 pieces, inspired by the race's iconic Maglia Rosa. The vivid pink jersey is worn by the winner of the race, which is not only one of the most beautiful and celebrated in the Grand Tour calendar, but also one of the most challenging. Over the course of the competition, riders will experience the elevation gain of going up Mount Everest six times. As the official timekeeper of the Giro, the new chronograph is meticulously engineered for the demands of professional cycling. Just like the Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Cycling Edition' from last July, the standout feature is a cycling-specific tachymeter scale – this time in pink – spiralling around the dial for quick speed readings at cyclist-friendly intervals. The 43 mm matte black carbon composite case, paired with titanium hardware, ensures lightweight durability; and powering the new Chrono 'Pink' is the COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5813, offering a 70-hour power reserve. Completing the package is a jacquard-woven technical fabric strap with a pink stripe, woven in France for comfort on and off the bike – a fitting tribute to those who dare to chase victory. Hublot MP-10 in Sapphire and Black Ceramic Hublot, renowned for its boundary-pushing designs, has just reimagined its already-iconic MP-10 Tourbillon with two striking new editions. The latest releases – one in deep black ceramic, the other in radiant sapphire – showcase Hublot's mastery of both material innovation and horological artistry. The new deep black ceramic MP-10 Tourbillon pays homage to Hublot's iconic All-Black series. PHOTO: HUBLOT The MP-10 Tourbillon is no ordinary timepiece. Eschewing traditional dials and hands, it instead dazzles with a roller display for hours and minutes, a colour-coded circular power reserve, and a mesmerising tourbillon inclined at 35 degrees, all powered by Hublot's intricate HUB9013 movement. With 592 components and a 48-hour power reserve, the MP-10 is as much a feat of engineering as it is a work of art. The sapphire edition offers a bold, transparent look that reveals every detail of the watch including its innovative movement. PHOTO: HUBLOT The black ceramic version, limited to 50 pieces, pays homage to Hublot's iconic All-Black series, while the sapphire edition – just 30 pieces worldwide – offers a bold, transparent look that reveals every detail of the movement. Both models boast a futuristic, curved case with not a single right angle, encapsulating Hublot's philosophy of fusing tradition with innovation. For collectors and design aficionados alike, the new MP-10 Tourbillon editions are the ultimate statement of modern luxury. Ulysse Nardin Diver Hammerhead Shark Ulysse Nardin pays a striking tribute to both high horology and ocean conservation with its new Diver Hammerhead Shark timepiece. Crafted in a bold 44 mm blue PVD-coated titanium case, this limited edition dive watch boasts 300 m water resistance, a uni-directional rotating bezel and luminous detailing for optimal underwater performance. Ulysse Nardin's Diver Hammerhead Shark is both a statement for the seas and their most misunderstood inhabitants. PHOTO: ULYSSE NARDIN Powered by the in-house UN-118 automatic movement with antimagnetic silicon technology, it offers a robust 60-hour power reserve and a unique forward/backward date corrector. The watch's design features red accents, a hammerhead shark motif, and an engraved caseback, all underscoring its conservation mission. In keeping with previous 'shark line' releases, Ulysse Nardin will pledge 1 per cent of annual sales of the watch to shark protection efforts via the Shark Trust, reinforcing its commitment as a 1% for the Planet member. Supported by shark attack survivor and conservationist Mike Coots, the Diver Hammerhead Shark is more than a precision instrument – it's a statement for the seas and their most misunderstood inhabitants.
