Two new Tudor Pelagos FXDs launched for Alinghi Red Bull Racing – one of which is a chronograph

Oh, and there's the carbon composite shell, too.Tudor Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing

Today, Tudor made big news as the brand launched two new Pelagos FXD models to celebrate its partnership with America’s Cup team Alinghi Red Bull Racing. The new chronograph and both models feature a carbon composite case, which is a big change from the original military use of the Pelagos FXD, so let’s take a closer look.

A chronograph (Ref. 25707KN) with a diameter of 42 mm and a new Chronograph (Ref. 25807KN) with a diameter of 43 mm, the first of any Pelagos, both new FXDs feature straps. A matte blue dial with red accents (think: Red Bull). Additionally, both watches feature a matte black carbon composite case with a matching 120-stroke bi-directional titanium bezel with carbon inserts and a fully luminous 60-minute countdown scale.

The crown, as well as the chronograph and pushers, are in titanium, and the chrono models use the Tudor MT5602 (the same as the standard FXD), while the FXD Chrono uses the MT5813 (which we’ve seen used in all high quality replica watches). way of the Black Bay Chronos). Both movements are COSC-certified chronometers with a 70-hour power reserve and beat at 4Hz). Those who prefer a date function will be pleased to see that the chronograph has a date function at six o'clock.

Aside from the color, the direct reference to the racing team remains on the small plate at 12 o'clock on the dial (the minute marker ring around the edge of the dial), and on the stainless steel case back engraved with "Racing Team". Alinghi Red Bull Racing Team.

Similar to the original FXD, both Alinghi models feature a retention bar and feature an integrated fabric strap with a hook-and-loop closure system.

You can say I'm surprised, but I definitely didn't expect such an evolution from FXD. Carbon cartridge? Chronograph? It's a wild move and represents the most advanced technological evolution for Pelagos since the model's launch. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that's what I'm here for.

The luxury replica Watches world has long had a fascination with sailing, and that obsession has spawned some truly stellar watches made in collaboration with the various teams participating in the America's Cup. Tudor has partnered with Alinghi Red Bull Racing since 2022, and if you want a rugged, yacht-racing-ready watch that takes inspiration directly from the boats the team competes in, the Carbon Fiber Case The FXD Chronograph seems like a good choice for the task. This is also the first time the material has been used in a mass-produced watch by Tudor (or one of its sister brands).

The longer I look at the photos, the more I like the raw technical impression of the matte blue dial and deep matte black carbon fiber case. Also, I really like how the titanium pushers/crowns contrast with the subtle carbon finish of the bezel insert. As for the weight figures, I've asked for information and will update this story as soon as possible.

Alinghi Red Bull Racing or not, I can see these two new FXDs being very popular with the Pelagos group. Despite its larger size (which should be influenced in part by the case material), this chronograph feels like it stands out from the new pair of FXDs. It represents yet another major evolution of the Pelagos lineage, which continues to represent Tudor's cutting-edge technology in the field of truly modern sports watches.
