Tudor has unveiled a bold new iteration of its Pelagos FXD Chrono, launching a limited-edition “Yellow” model that celebrates Fabian Cancellara’s legendary Tour de France legacy. Released in a series of just 300 pieces, the high-performance chronograph pays homage to the Swiss cyclist’s 29 days in the iconic yellow jersey and eight stage wins.
Following the recent FXD Chrono “Pink” designed for the Giro d’Italia, this yellow edition continues Tudor’s deepening connection to elite cycling. Cancellara returns to the Tour this year not as a competitor, but as a team owner, further cementing his impact on the sport.
Engineered for Cyclists, Designed for Performance
The Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow” is tailored specifically for cyclists, featuring a cycling-specific tachymeter bezel that enables quick speed calculations during rides. Housed in a 43 mm matte black carbon composite case, the watch integrates fixed strap bars and lightweight materials ideal for high-mobility sports.
The matte black dial, detailed with luminescent ceramic composite hour markers and Tudor’s signature “Snowflake” hands, offers exceptional legibility. Bright yellow accents evoke the iconic Tour de France leader’s jersey, tying the timepiece directly to Cancellara’s historic achievements.
COSC-Certified Movement and Endurance Build
Under the caseback, Tudor equips the timepiece with the Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement developed in partnership with Breitling. The calibre includes:
- 70-hour power reserve
- Column wheel and vertical clutch
- Silicon balance spring for enhanced shock resistance
These features ensure precise chronograph functionality even under intense physical demands, aligning with Tudor’s robust performance standards.
Fabric Strap Made for Long Rides
Completing the sporty design is a one-piece technical fabric strap woven by Julien Faure in France, featuring a vivid yellow central stripe. Its construction ensures both comfort and durability, making it suitable for long-distance rides and daily wear.
The Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow” retails at $5,600 USD and is available exclusively through select Tudor retailers.
