Big news today from Tudor as the brand has launched two new Tudor Pelagos FXD variations in celebration of its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, an America’s Cup yacht racing team. With a new chronograph and both models rocking carbon composite cases, it’s a big alter from the Pelagos FXD’s original military-derived intent, so let me get to the details.
With one time-only model (ref 25707KN) coming in at 42mm and a brand new wathe (25807KN) - a first for any Pelagos product - coming in at 43mm, both of these brand new Tudor Pelagos FXD have matte blue dials along with red accents (think: Red-colored Bull). Additionally , both use matte black carbon amalgamated cases and have matching 120-click bi-directional titanium bezels set with carbon dioxide inserts that have fully-luminous 60-minute countdown scales.

The overhead - and for the chrono, the pushers - are done in ti, and the time-only model uses the Tudor MT5602 (the same as the standard FXD) while the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono uses the MT5813 (which we’ve seen used in all manner of Black Gulf Chronos). Both movements are COSC-certified chronometers, have 75 hours of power reserve, and beat in 4Hz). Those of you who like a date function will be happy to see 1 included from six o’clock on the timepiece.
Aside from the coloring, the direct references to the racing group are kept to a small nameplate with 12 o’clock on the rehaut (the minute marking ring that surrounds the edge of the dial), along with a stainless steel case back featuring an engraving for the Alinghi Red Hokum Racing crew.

Similar to the initial FXD, each of the Alinghi models possess fixed bars and come on a one-piece fabric strap that uses a hook-and-loop closure system. The time-only design costs $3, 675, as the chronograph has a price tag associated with $5, 075. Call me surprised, but I definitely didn’t expect this evolution of the Tudor Pelagos FXD. Carbon cases? A time counter? It’s a wild move that represents the most tech-forward development of the Pelagos since the type was introduced. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I’m here for it.
The watch world has long been fascinated by luxury yacht racing, and that fascination contributed to some really great watches produced in conjunction with the various teams that battle for America’s Cup. Tudor started the partnership together with Alinghi Reddish Bull Race in 2022, and if you want a tough private yacht racing-ready watch that can pull direct inspiration from the boat raced by the team, a carbon-cased FXD chronograph seems like a great way to go about the task. This is also the first time that the material has been used for the production view from Tudor (or a certain other sister brand).

The actual longer I look at the photos, the more I like the raw technical impression of the matte blue face surrounded by the actual dark matte black from the carbon situation. Additionally , I really dig the particular contrast in the titanium pushers/crown alongside typically the subtle and also carbon finish on the bezel insert. As for the weight figures, I have asked for the information and will update this story as soon as I can.
With or without often the Alinghi Reddish colored Bull Sporting connection, I could see both of these new Tudor Pelagos FXD being very popular among the Pelagos set. And despite the larger sizing (which should be to some extent mitigated through the case material), the stop-watch feels like the exact stand-out from this racy fresh pair of FXDs. It represents another considerable evolution in the bloodline with the Pelagos as the line continues to represent the very cutting-edge regarding Tudor’s work in truly modern sports watches.
