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.

Tudor has launched a highly collectable FXD Chrono 'Pink', and I love it
Hot on the heels of the stealthy VCARB Black Bay Chronograph Carbon 25, Tudor has dropped something that couldn't be more different: the new Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink'. And yes, I'm completely into it. Created to celebrate Tudor's role as Official Timekeeper of the Giro d'Italia, this limited-run chronograph is a tribute to one of cycling's most punishing and iconic races. The Giro's pink jersey – the Maglia Rosa – goes to the overall winner, and now Tudor's paying homage with a bold, 300-piece-only release, decked out with pink accents and serious race pedigree. Let's be honest, pro cycling isn't gentle. Neither is this watch (and I think the FXD Chrono is one of Tudor's best watches). The 43mm case is made from carbon composite, with fixed strap bars and titanium bits to keep it both light and tough – ideal for the insane conditions these riders face (think: the elevation of Everest, six times). It's built to survive way more than a leisurely Sunday ride. What really makes the FXD Chrono 'Pink' shine is its cycling-first design. Instead of the usual car-focused tachymeter, the dial's scale is tuned to typical cycling speeds. It spirals inward on the rehaut, giving riders quick feedback on their performance without the mental gymnastics. Pink markers pop from the matte black ceramic dial, with bright lume-filled Snowflake hands – pure Tudor. The strap is worth a mention too. It's a black jacquard-woven one-piece job with a pink centre stripe, made on 19th-century looms in France by Julien Faure. It's breathable, strong and snug – basically the textile version of a high-end racing bib. Under the hood, Tudor hasn't cut corners. The Pelagos FXD Chrono 'Pink' runs on the MT5813 movement, a COSC-certified chronograph calibre with a column wheel, vertical clutch, silicon balance spring and a 70-hour power reserve. It's based on Breitling's B01 but with Tudor's own tweaks and finishing. It's functional, rare, and full of character – exactly what a special-edition chronograph should be. If you're a cycling nut, a Tudor collector, or just someone who loves the look of that pink-on-black combo, $5600 / £4650 might not seem so unreasonable. And again, they only made 300, so pedal down to your local Tudor dealer pronto (we don't think this one will be available on Tudor's website). Liked this?
