TUDOR, the renowned Swiss watchmaker, recently unveiled the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition”,
offering watch enthusiasts and cycling professionals alike an unparalleled experience in timekeeping
precision and style. From now till 21 May 2024, TUDOR, together with Cortina Watch, bring an exhilarating cycling experience to discover the new chronograph and its partnership with the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team at the Raffles City Boutique. This engagement offers patrons an opportunity to witness firsthand the fusion of precision engineering and sporting elegance that defines TUDOR.
Specifically engineered for riders of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team and cycling enthusiasts, the brand new Pelagos FXD model with a cycling-themed chronograph is made light weight and with functionality in mind. It’s no secret that the fastest bikes are made of carbon fibre, and that is why TUDOR opted for carbon composite for the case of the new chronograph. Designed for daring riders, the implementation of titanium elements makes the watch necessarily robust, as it will certainly face the unpredictable conditions presented by cycling.
What makes this “Cycling Edition” special is the tachymetric scale, which is presented in a way that is suited for the speeds that cyclists can sustain. The chronograph scale is “wrapped” around the dial in a spiral, allowing the average speeds that cyclists routinely operate at to be read at a glance. The tachymeter function on the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Cycling Edition” has been specifically designed for cycling. Fitted with a high-performance Manufacture Calibre, this watch echoes the daring spirit of a team competing in some of the most challenging cycling races around the world, including, from 2024, the Giro d’Italia.
Ride Like the Pros and Test Your Speed
TUDOR’s ethos Born To Dare, tells the story of the watchmaking vision of the founder of the brand, Hans Wilsdorf, and how that vision was daringly brought to life. Partnering with cyclist Fabian Cancellara, winner of multiple Olympic and World Championships, TUDOR brings its founding daring spirit to the professional cycling world, charting a course that will impact many aspects of this exciting global sport. From 16 to 21 May, embrace your inner cyclist and push your limits at the exhilarating TUDOR Cycling Experience expertly recreated within the vibrant ambience of Raffles City. Featuring realistic landscapes and varied terrains, participants will have the opportunity to race against time. The top three fastest sprinters from the entire duration of the cycling experience stand to win a complete set of the official TUDOR Pro Cycling Kit.
TUDOR – Official Timekeeper of Giro d’Italia

For many cycling fans, the Giro d’Italia represents the most exciting race event of the Grand Tour calendar, and is perceived to be the most difficult, the most beautiful, and the most festive.
