Tudor Pelagos FXD M25707KN-0001 “Alinghi Red Bull Racing” - Carbon Composite Case - Full Set

Tudor Pelagos FXD M25707KN-0001 \ "Alinghi Red Bull Racing" In 1926, Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, created Tudor as a brand offering high-quality Swiss tool watches at a more affordable price point. Tudor's watches bore design and reliability similarities to Rolex but retained a distinct character. The Tudor Pelagos, launched in 2012, paid homage to Tudor's legacy in diving watches, named after the Greek word for "deep sea." Engineered for extreme conditions, the Pelagos was even adopted by the French Navy. The same year, Tudor introduced the Black Bay, a model inspired by Tudor's vintage dive watches. Both the Pelagos and Black Bay were initially powered by the ETA 2824 movement, but the Pelagos distinguished itself with higher water resistance and a titanium case, marking the first titanium-cased model in the Rolex-Tudor lineup. In 2015, Tudor transitioned the Pelagos to an in-house caliber, and by 2024, the line had expanded to nine versions, all maintaining the hallmarks of a robust, highly legible dive watch with lightweight cases and lumed bezels. Some collectors see the Pelagos as continuing the "tool watch" tradition that Rolex's Submariner has largely moved away from. Tudor collaborated with Alinghi Red Bull Racing to create a special edition of the Pelagos FXD inspired by competitive yacht racing. Unlike other Pelagos models made entirely of titanium, this version combines carbon, titanium, and stainless steel, reflecting the materials used in the Alinghi AC75 yacht. The watch's black, blue, and red color scheme, along with the "Alinghi Red Bull Racing" logo on the dial flange, captures the spirit of both the FXD model and the yacht. Released in 2023 as Ref. 25707KN, it features advanced components like X1 grade Super-LumiNova and Tudor's in-house MT5602 automatic movement. This watch dated from 2023 has been worn a couple of times and is in like-new condition. The watch features its box, papers and warranty.
