Introducing The Tudor Pelagos FXD And Pelagos FXD Chrono Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition
In 2022, watchmaker Tudor unveiled its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, a contender in the most competitive yacht race in history, the America’s Cup. This was the first time Tudor ventured into the world of competitive yacht racing. But as you know, the brand doesn’t just form partnerships for the sake of advertising. There are, very often, some watches involved. And the result of the collaboration between Tudor and Alinghi is launched today, with a pair of new Pelagos FXD models, including – for the first time – a chronograph fitted into a fixed strap-bars case.

Throwback on one of the stars of Baselworld 2015.What does the Oris Divers Sixty Five has more than other dive watches? Technically, nothing. We can even argue that it’s a poor diver watch, with its 100m water resistance. Movement-wise, it’s also a very simple – however robust and functional – timepiece, that features the Calibre 733, based on a Sellita movement (an ETA-clone). After that, you’d probably ask you
