Tudor Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing: what are the attributes of these two new watches?
The spirit of innovation and daring that served as a guiding framework for the design of these two Tudor Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing models should attract the attention of sailors looking for the timepiece most likely to highlight , off the water, their passion for water sports in general and for competitive sailing in particular.
A rugged matte black carbon composite case
These new Tudor Pelagos FXD have been designed in a resolutely daring spirit with cutting-edge technologies.
Thus, the 42 millimeter diameter cases for the single piece with hours, minutes and seconds and the 43 millimeter diameter case for the chronograph are made of matt black carbon composite – a first for Tudor.
In each of the two variations, the case is adorned with a titanium bezel with carbon insert and a stainless steel back.
Sailing enthusiasts will note that these materials also go into the manufacture of the new generation Foil AC75s.
To be able to soar between sky and sea at almost 54 knots (nearly 98 km / hour), you need the best of technology.
And to accompany the 8 sailors on board, Tudor has chosen the same materials as the sailboats to produce robust, precise and light watches, capable of withstanding sea spray and violent shocks.
This is why the waterproof cases up to 200 meters deep are machined in a carbon composite.
And to avoid seeing the handles yield to tearing, the bars are integrated into the horns and cannot be removed.
Similarly here, the back of these Tudor Pelagos FXD watches is machined in stainless steel engraved with the logo Alinghi Red Bull Racing.
This avoids the risk of water intake in the event of glass breakage.
Designed for performance and on-board use, both the chronograph and the three-hand watch are equipped with a bidirectional rotating bezel graduated over 60 minutes.
It is unlikely that the sailors on board will use it, but a skipper engaged in a summer regatta will enjoy positioning the index 0 of the bezel opposite the tip of the minute hand to count down the time. pre-regatta of 5, 10 or 15 minutes depending on the sailing instructions.
The micro ratcheting of the bezel obviously allows very fine and intuitive adjustment.
And its easy handling in both directions of rotation will allow the countdown to be readjusted with each cannon shot.
