Cycling Chronograph - TUDOR Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition

TUDOR Pelagos is positioned in the diving style, so in the past, the outer ring of the watch was mostly a one-way rotating chronograph ring, which can set a timer within 60 minutes. The TUDOR Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition uses a fixed 60-minute outer ring, which is made of carbon composite material like the case. While the diameter of the watch remains unchanged at 43 mm, the slim bezel makes the actual display area of the disk larger.

TUDOR Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition continues the "family design" of Tudor sports watches, such as the iconic snowflake needle. The outer edge of the matte black dial is surrounded by a red snail-shaped tachometer ring. In order to fit the positioning of a "bicycle chronograph", the maximum value measured by the tachometer ring is 240km/h. For comparison, the maximum speed of conventional racing chronographs or flight watches can reach 500km/h or 1000km/h.

The principle of chronometer speed measurement is that under the premise that the distance of a certain distance is known (usually 1km), it can be deduced by using speed = distance/time. The distance here (1km) is a fixed value, and time is a variable. The wearer turns on the function while riding and presses the pause button after reaching the destination. The value pointed by the chronograph second hand at this time is the average speed of this journey.

Under the bottom cover is the Tudor MT5813 chronograph movement. Its technical features include a vibration frequency of 28800VPH, a power reserve of 70 hours, and is certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC). The two functional small dials of the movement are located at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively, and the calendar is set at 6 o'clock. From a structural point of view, Tudor MT5813 movement has a certain origin with Breitling B01 movement. The difference between the two is that MT5813 adopts a card-free structure and is equipped with a silicon hairspring. Judging from the decorative details, the surface of MT5813 is extensively sandblasted and polished, making it even more "extensive".
