TUDOR is the official timing partner of Switzerland’s Alinghi Red Rull Racing
TUDOR is excited to be the official timing partner of a championship-winning team, Switzerland’s Alinghi Red Rull Racing. Founded in 1994, the team consists of a 100% swiss sailing crew. Alinghi became the first European team to win the America's Cup in 2003 and this year they’ll be taking on the defender to bring home the oldest sporting trophy in the world.
Ahead of the 37th America’s Cup race in October, get to know the Alinghi Red Bull Racing team’s dedicated watches: the Pelagos FXD and Pelagos FXD Chrono “Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition”. Both models are comprised of carbon fiber, titanium, and stainless-steel elements, just like the AC75 boat that will be competing.
TUDOR
To celebrate its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, TUDOR produces two Pelagos FXD models: a chronograph and a time-only watch. The Pelagos FXD “Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition” models come with several firsts for TUDOR, that go beyond just the watches. A long-term partnership between TUDOR and Alinghi Red Bull Racing was launched in 2022, the first time TUDOR ventured into the world of competitive yacht racing. In this centuries-old sport, victory comes by fusing a resolutely daring human spirit with the most cutting-edge technology. The watches were born out of this philosophy, by combining a high-tech carbon composite, a first for TUDOR, with titanium and stainless steel, just like on an AC75 (America’s Cup 75) hydrofoil racing yacht. It’s also the first time TUDOR has integrated a chronograph Calibre into a fixed strap-bars case.
Pelagos FXD Chrono
Meet the Pelagos FXD Chrono, a tech-forward chronograph powered by the Manufacture Caliber MT5813. Featuring a titanium bezel and fabric strap, it’s used to cross that starting line at precisely the right time.

At home on the water, the robust time-only model powered by the Manufacture Caliber MT 5602 stands up to the rigors of competitive yacht racing.
