Vibrant yellow accents pay homage to cycling's most demanding races.

TUDOR celebrates cycling legend Fabian Cancellara's return to the Tour de France with the exclusive Pelagos FXD Chrono "Yellow" - a 300-piece limited edition honouring his 29 days in the yellow jersey. This tribute timepiece carries Cancellara's racing DNA, from the signature No. 7 case back reserved for the champion himself, to the cycling-optimised tachymetre scale developed for real competition conditions. More than just a commemorative chronograph, this professional instrument watch embodies TUDOR's commitment to performance, thus mirroring Cancellara's own transition from peloton powerhouse to team owner.

The matte black dial of the Pelagos FXD Chrono &ldquo;Yellow&rdquo; with its vibrant yellow accents pay homage to cycling's most demanding races while delivering uncompromising legibility. TUDOR's signature 1960s "Snowflake" hands and square markers, now crafted from luminescent ceramic composite, ensure clarity in any conditions, especially when paired with a 45&deg; angled rehaut that features a cycling-specific tachymeter scale. Here, every element serves a purpose, embodying TUDOR's philosophy of creating true tool watches where form relentlessly follows function.
As we delve further into the details, the watch is purpose-built to be a cyclist's essential tool. Breaking from tradition, its spiral tachymeter scale is specifically calibrated for cycling speeds rather than motorsports, allowing riders to calculate averages at a glance. Every component serves a purpose - from the carbon composite case that mirrors professional cycling's lightweight technology, to the titanium reinforcements that ensure road-ready resilience, and the luminescent ceramic "Snowflake" hands that guarantee legibility mid-race. This is a chronograph that withstands the sport's extreme physical demands while remaining intuitively functional under pressure.

Powering the watch with unerring accuracy is the Manufacture Calibre MT5813. It combines professional functionality with robust engineering. This high-performance chronograph movement features hours, minutes, seconds, date display, and a column wheel mechanism with vertical clutch for seamless operation. Moreover, its 70-hour power reserve and silicon balance spring ensure reliable COSC certified timing, while its tungsten monobloc rotor and matte finishes reflect TUDOR's signature high-level craftsmanship. Originally derived from Breitling's B01 base but enhanced with TUDOR's proprietary regulating system, the MT5813 represents the pinnacle of collaborative watchmaking and has been rigorously tested to meet the brand's exacting standards for durability and precision in any environment.
Completing the aesthetics of the Pelagos is the matching 22mm black jacquard weave strap with a bold yellow stripe that comes as a continuation of a signature TUDOR element. Pioneered by the brand in 2010 as one of the first in watchmaking, it has been woven on 19th-century Jacquard looms by Julien Faure in France's St-Etienne region. Combining heritage craftsmanship with exceptional durability and comfort and secured with a classic buckle, it is ideal for active pursuits like cycling.
