Following its vibrant FXD Chrono “Pink” release for the Giro d’Italia, Tudor now unveils a striking “Yellow” edition. Limited to just 300 pieces, this special release honors cycling icon Fabian Cancellara and his storied legacy at the Tour de France. The timepiece pays tribute to Cancellara’s extraordinary performance, including 29 days in the yellow jersey and eight stage victories, as he returns to France in 2025 as a team owner.
Designed as both a symbolic token and a functional tool, the watch is equipped with a cycling-specific tachymeter bezel, which ensures quick speed readings during rides. Housed in a 43 mm matte black carbon composite case with fixed strap bars, the dial prioritizes legibility with luminescent ceramic composite hour markers as well as Tudor’s signature “Snowflake” hands. Meanwhile, yellow accents on the dial nod to Cancellara’s iconic Tour de France jersey.
Engineered for the rigors of professional cycling, the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow” combines lightweight materials with high-performance mechanics. Its Manufacture Calibre MT5813 movement – developed in collaboration with Breitling – offers a 70-hour power reserve, COSC certification and a column wheel mechanism with vertical clutch for precise chronograph operation. Built to endure the extreme demands of professional cycling, the watch is powered by the Manufacture Calibre MT5813 — a robust, COSC-certified movement co-developed with Breitling. It boasts a 70-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring and a column wheel with vertical clutch mechanism, ensuring smooth chronograph functionality and superior reliability under pressure.
Completing the design is a one-piece technical fabric strap woven in France by Julien Faure, featuring a yellow stripe that mirrors the dial’s detailing. The strap’s construction ensures comfort and durability, ideal for long rides and demanding conditions. Retailing for $5,600 USD, the Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow” limited edition is available via Tudor.
