The Pelagos FXD models come with a five-year transferable guarantee, eliminating the need for registration or maintenance checks. These watches feature black matte-finished carbon composite cases with fixed strap bars, showcasing the Alinghi Red Bull Racing logo on the stainless steel case back. Powered by COSC-certified Manufacture Calibres MT5602 and MT5813, these timepieces offer exceptional accuracy and a remarkable 70-hour power reserve. The blue matte dials feature luminescent ceramic composite hour markers and the iconic "Snowflake" hands with grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material.

Crafted with a combination of carbon composite, titanium, and stainless steel, the Pelagos FXD watches draw inspiration from the Alinghi Red Bull Racing AC75 yacht, known for its cutting-edge maritime engineering. The high-tech carbon composite used in the case and bezel insert ensures lightweight durability, while titanium is employed for the bezel, crown, and pushers. The case back and movement container are crafted from 316L stainless steel. These watches feature the FXD case design developed with French navy combat divers, offering a water resistance of 200 meters. The bidirectional rotatable bezel, enhanced with Swiss Super-LumiNova Grade X1, allows for easy countdown tracking before a regatta. The collaboration with Alinghi Red Bull Racing is celebrated with the engraved logo on the case back, symbolizing the fusion of Tudor's innovation and the spirit of yacht racing.
The Pelagos FXD watches go beyond being timepieces. They represent Tudor's foray into competitive yacht racing through their partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing. Inspired by the AC75 hydrofoil racing yacht, these watches combine a high-tech carbon composite, titanium, and stainless steel, mirroring the materials used in the yacht's construction. Additionally, Tudor integrates a chronograph caliber into a fixed strap-bars case for the first time, exemplifying their commitment to pushing boundaries.
The Pelagos FXD watches feature race-ready dials designed for legibility. The matte dials, resembling the AC75 hull, sport Alinghi Red Bull Racing Team Blue with a red-tipped second hand. The Chronograph model includes red accents around the counters, reminiscent of the yacht's aesthetics. The signature square hour markers and "Snowflake" hands, known for their enhanced luminosity, are crafted from luminescent ceramic composite, ensuring optimal legibility in any condition.
Complementing the timepieces is the single-piece fabric strap, a hallmark of Tudor's craftsmanship. Woven in France by the renowned Julien Faure company, this fabric strap offers exceptional robustness, comfort, and unique manufacturing quality. The Pelagos FXD models feature a 22mm "Team Blue" jacquard-woven ribbon with red accents and a titanium "D" buckle equipped with a self-gripping fastening system, ensuring a perfect fit for various wrist sizes.
Powering the Pelagos FXD watches is the Manufacture Calibre MT5602. This remarkable movement displays hour, minute, and seconds functions, incorporating the distinctive features of Tudor Manufacture Calibres. With a tungsten monobloc rotor, sand-blasted and polished surfaces on the bridges and mainplate, and a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, the MT5602 surpasses COSC certification standards.
