[BARCELONA] In case anybody was wondering why a Pelagos was missing when Tudor unveiled its Watches & Wonders novelties in Geneva earlier this year, they’d find their answer in Barcelona last Thursday (Jun 29), where not one, but two new Pelagos FXD models received a shock drop outside of the annual Swiss luxury watch fair.
Both watches celebrate the partnership Tudor entered into with two-time America’s Cup winner Alinghi Red Bull Racing in 2022, and the drop took place in the Catalan capital because that is where the latter has set up base as they prepare for another title challenge next summer.
Hence, it should come as no surprise that the overall design of the Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing Edition watches takes inspiration from the AC75 yacht used in the race.
