Award-winning brand ensures the F1 season is a must-watch
TUDOR has established a long and proud legacy of competing on the racetrack. The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève award-winning watch brand has supported winning teams during the golden era of motorsport, starting with the TUDOR Watch Racing Team in the late 1960s, all the way to the recent IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. Now, in 2025, it's returned to the grid once more, supporting the Visa Cash App RB F1 team. In the driving hot seat are exciting youngsters Isak Hadjer and Liam Lawson - fearless talents with exceptional pace and sharp racing instincts, both eager to make their mark on Formula 1's biggest stage. The team has undergone a radical shake-up, including the striking livery which chimes in perfectly with the brand, emblazoned on the drivers' race suits and cars. The shake-up for the latest F1 season accesses all areas, from management to engineering, for this season's adventure, aimed at making the Visa Cash App RB team a F1 front-runner. 'TUDOR has always been fuelled by a daring spirit, a consistent will to do things differently,' notes chief executive Eric Pirson. 'And this spirit – we call it 'Born To Dare' – is exactly what Visa Cash App RB is demonstrating heading into the 2025 F1 season. We're beyond thrilled to return to motorsport with a partner that's ready to take on the challenge.' Peter Bayer, chief executive of Visa Cash App RB F1 team, is in agreement. 'We are delighted to welcome TUDOR to our team,' he says. 'They have a long history in motorsport, dating back to the 1960s when they first got involved in sports car racing, as well as historic racing and rallying. Now, the Swiss watch company has seized the opportunity to move up to the very pinnacle of motorsport, joining us, as we tackle this championship with our new Visa Cash App RB identity. Our team will be challenging the status quo in F1 with a strong identity, unique style and uncompromising quality – just like TUDOR watches.' The teamwork promises to be a winning formula. TUDOR has a long history of crafting some of the most reliable, singular and cutting-edge timepieces such as the Black Bay and Pelagos collections, and is renowned for doing things its own way – that's what encapsulates the 'Born To Dare' spirit and the Visa Cash App RB partnership speaks to that. Adding the watchmaker's name on a winning car is the easy part; choosing the right team to support was another story. TUDOR wanted to secure the team that showed promise and shared a daring ethos and a fighting spirit. In other words, a committed team that was ready to take on the challenge of getting to pole position. And that's why it joined Visa Cash App RB. The Swiss watch brand is always on a mission to push boundaries, seen clearly in bold, technical pieces like the ultra-lightweight Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25 and the sporty sophistication of the Black Bay Chrono with its new five-link bracelet; each engineered with the same spirit of precision and performance that drives F1.

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.

Fifty One East unveils TUDOR 2025 Novelties at private event in Doha
Tribune News Network Doha Fifty One East, Qatar's favourite department store, successfully hosted an exclusive in-store event unveiling TUDOR's Watches & Wonders-Geneva 2025 collection for the first time in Doha. The private gathering took place on Wednesday, May 7 at the TUDOR Shop-in-Shop at Fifty One East, Lagoona Mall, welcoming an elite group of TUDOR enthusiasts and valued clients. Guests had the rare opportunity to be among the first in the region to view—and purchase—TUDOR's latest timepieces following their global debut in Geneva. The event underscored Fifty One East's ongoing dedication to bringing world-class luxury experiences to Qatar's discerning clientele, a commitment that has defined its partnership with TUDOR since 1951. 2025 is a big year for TUDOR, as it saw an all-new Black Bay in 43 mm featuring Master Chronometer certification and a Pelagos that's depth rated to 1000 m. The Swiss manufacturer also released a Black Bay 58 all with a burgundy dial and bezel; the Black Bay Pro with enhanced visual touches; and finally, the Black Bay Chrono model in steel with a five-link bracelet. Bader Al-Darwish, Chairman and Managing Director of Fifty One East, said: 'It was an honour to reveal TUDOR's exceptional 2025 novelties in Doha. Our relationship with the brand spans more than 70 years, and this event marked yet another milestone in our shared journey. We are proud to continue offering our clients access to the world's most exceptional timepieces in experiences as unique as the watches themselves.' TUDOR 2025 Novelties presented at the event Black Bay 58 The Black Bay 58 is named after the year in which the first TUDOR divers' watch waterproof to 200 meters was introduced. Among other aesthetic allusions to this famous historic watch, this model has a 39 mm diameter case, in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. For the first time, the new all-burgundy Black Bay 58 also comes on a 5-link bracelet with a T-fit rapid adjustment clasp. On top of all of that, the watch also got the Master Chronometer treatment. Pelagos Ultra Exceptional tool watches and the symbol of aquatic adventure, the models in the Pelagos line are amongst the most complete traditional mechanical divers' watches available today. Engineered specifically to overcome the challenges associated with saturation diving, the new Pelagos Ultra is the most technically capable Pelagos ever made, with 1,000 meters of water resistance, a proprietary bracelet adjustment system, and a 43 mm titanium case. It represents a giant stride in technical advancements with a Master Chronometer Certification from METAS. Black Bay 68 Introducing an entirely new Black Bay model in 43 mm with two new colour configurations. The big deal is not just a brand new case size, but that the Black Bay 68 is also Master Chronometer certified by METAS. The Black Bay 68 is among the largest Black Bay models and meets the demand for various case sizes to fit all types of wrists. Black Bay Pro TUDOR offers a technical model named Black Bay Pro. It has a 39-millimetre diameter, a fixed steel bezel and a Manufacture Calibre with built-in GMT function. Building on the Black Bay Pro's robust reputation, this new version retains the 39mm diameter case, fixed steel bezel and Manufacture Calibre with built-in GMT function. A distinct new opaline dial with visual touches that make it extremely legible. Black Bay Chrono TUDOR has been producing watches that are closely tied to the world of motor sport since 1970, when the brand introduced its first chronograph. The Black Bay Chrono combines this heritage in a sport-chic chronograph, with contrasting sub-counters and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre, with column wheel and vertical clutch. Celebrating decades of its chronographs, the Black Bay Chrono model in steel with a reworked case and two dial options now comes with the option of a 3-link or 5-link bracelet, both with 'T-Fit' clasp. Immersive Experiences and Activations In true TUDOR spirit, the evening offered guests an immersive brand experience that brought the 'Born to Dare' ethos to life. A live DJ performance set an upbeat tone throughout the night, while guests engaged with an interactive Push Button Reaction Wall for the chance to win exclusive TUDOR prizes. The culinary experience included elegant pass-around catering alongside red and white cotton candy and popcorn, red and black sliders and mocktails, echoing the signature colours of the TUDOR novelties on display.
