Tudor Fastrider Chrono
Baselworld 2015 - The great outdoors, freedom and adventure are the highest callings for the Tudor Fastrider chronograph, the most recent watchmaking manifestation of Tudor’s partnership with the legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati..
Inspired by the non-conformist spirit of the famous Ducati Scrambler, a model emblematic of the brand, this new chronograph is a travelling companion that is both technical and exhilarating with a spontaneous style....
"...Waterproof to 150 metres, the brushed steel case of the new Fastrider chronograph illustrates its technical nature and performance with its entirely matt finish, a feeling accentuated by the strong contrast created between the matt black ceramic bezel and the push pieces and crown with matt black PVD treatment."
Created in 2011 at the beginning of the partnership between Tudor and Ducati, Fastrider is Tudor's technical and sporty line dedicated to the world of performance on two wheels. In 2013, with the Fastrider Black Shield and its matt black ceramic monobloc middle case, Tudor presented the result of a shared design approach between the world of motorcycle sports and that of fine watchmaking. In 2015, Tudor continues on the path of aesthetic juxtaposition by offering a new Fastrider chronograph inspired by one of the most famous Ducati models: the Scrambler.
Waterproof to 150 metres, the brushed steel case of the new Fastrider chronograph illustrates its technical nature and performance with its entirely matt finish, a feeling accentuated by the strong contrast created between the matt black ceramic bezel and the push pieces and crown with matt black PVD treatment. Angular and detailed, it recalls the body of a motorcycle. It holds a 7753 self-winding mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours, providing a calendar function with rapid corrector.
The application of the motorcycle aesthetic does not end with the middle case of this new Tudor model. One of the two bracelets available with the Fastrider chronograph is an interpretation of typical leather saddles with gadroons, offering an additional sporty effect. The other option is a matt black rubber strap that reinforces the technical language of the watch.
