Tudor has subtly added to its Pelagos FXD Chrono collection with a special “Yellow” edition, honoring brand ambassador and two-time Olympic winner Fabian Cancellara’s deep connection to the Tour de France. Only 300 watches will be made, each numbered, with the number 7 already reserved for Cancellara, which is his iconic race number.

Design and Features

Similar to last year’s pink-dial Cycling Edition, the new model features Tudor’s unique 43mm carbon-composite case with a matte finish. It includes a titanium screw-down crown and a fixed 60-minute bezel. Even with its rugged appearance, the case is sleek (13.2 mm) and lightweight, offering water-resistance up to 100 m. The heart of the watch is Tudor’s chronometer-certified MT5813 movement, which is a column-wheel, vertical-clutch chronograph boasting a 70-hour power reserve and bidirectional rotor winding.

Dial and Functionality

The matte black dial showcases square hour markers and large “snowflake” hands filled with white Super-LumiNova, but the standout feature is the striking yellow minute hashes and matching tachymeter numbers – a nod to the leader’s jersey in the Tour. The watch has two recessed totalizers for tracking running seconds at 9 o’clock and 45-minute elapsed time at 3 o’clock, while a date window matches the color and is placed subtly at 6 o’clock.

Strap and Availability

Tudor accompanies the watch with a black fabric strap featuring a bold yellow stripe and titanium fittings that represent the team colors. The solid case-back is engraved with “Édition Limitée 2025” surrounding a stylized peloton design and the watch’s individual serial number.

The Pelagos FXD Chrono “Yellow” is now available at Tudor boutiques and select retailers. The UK price is set at £4,650 (~$6,385), which aligns well with other FXD Chrono models, although it’s anticipated that the limited edition will sell out swiftly due to the restricted 300 units.
