It all started with a brief from the TUDOR Pro Cycling team riders: Develop a watch that could not only stand up to the rigors of professional cycling, but that could also be a useful tool on the road. The result is the Pelagos FXD Chrono "Cycling Edition".

The matt black dial with red accents puts legibility first and foremost and is reminiscent of the TUDOR Pro Cycling Team colours. The signature square hourmarkers and “Snowflake” hands, designed back in the sixties by TUDOR to offer larger luminous surfaces and thus improve legibility, are fashioned from luminescent ceramic composite for optimal legibility in challenging conditions. Around the circumference of the dial, printed on a 45°-angled rehaut, is a re-calibrated tachymeter scale whose inner ring focuses on the speeds that cyclists ride at.
