The story of this Tudor Pelagos FXD
The story of this Tudor Pelagos FXD is being written on the water. By partnering with the Alinghi Red Bull Racing team for the America’s Cup, the Geneva-based manufacturer has reimagined its approach to nautical watches. The specifications called for a timepiece capable of withstanding the extreme stresses of flying monohull racing. The reference 25707KN was born out of this technical collaboration. To design this watch, the brand adapted materials used in marine fittings for use in watchmaking. The carbon composite used for the case is identical to that used for the hull and mast of the Swiss team’s sailing yachts. This choice marks a technical departure for the Pelagos range, which has traditionally favoured titanium.
Case, movement and strap of this Pelagos FXD
The case measures 42 mm in diameter and features fixed lugs for enhanced robustness. The structure combines a matt black carbon composite case middle with a titanium crown and caseback. The deep navy blue dial, inspired by the sailing team’s colours, offers a sharp contrast to the white luminescent hour markers and the red seconds hand. The bidirectional rotating bezel is also made of carbon fibre with a matt insert. The watch is powered by the self-winding MT5602 calibre, offering a 70-hour power reserve and chronometer certification. It is water-resistant to 200 metres. It is fitted with a navy blue woven fabric strap made from a single piece and featuring a hook-and-loop fastening system.
Why this Tudor watch
This timepiece stands out for its radical design and feather-light weight. The carbon composite absorbs light, giving the watch a stealthy, technical look. It meets the expectations of sports watch enthusiasts seeking an alternative to traditional materials. The list price for this model is 3,800 CHF, which can be viewed on the brand’s website via the link https://www.tudorwatch.com/fr/montres/pelagos/m25707kn-0001.
