A PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE
The last day of June 2011 marked another signifi cant milestone
for TUDOR. On June 30th 2011, TUDOR became the “Timing
Partner” of Ducati, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer,
reinforcing the watchmaker’s thoroughly modern sporting
vocation. TUDOR takes us for a spin in the seductive highspeed
world of motorcycle racing with its evocatively named
line, Fastrider.
The sleek, bevelled design of the new 42 mm case gives the
Fastrider chronograph a very sporty and technical look. The
date corrector at 9 o’clock is decorated with a black PVDcoated
shield, a technical detail that alludes to the world of
motorcycles.
The chronograph pushers, which fit into the middle case
through black PVD-coated cylinders, are reminiscent of engine
pistons. These direct-action chronograph pushers make it
easy to measure short periods of time with precision, a function
indispensable to all speed-related disciplines. The bezel
is engraved with a tachymetric scale.
The dial has been specially designed for the TUDOR Fastrider
collection and is characterised by minute markers on the
fl ange and by three vertical stripes, another reference to the
racing world. The dial comes in three colours: black, white, or
silversun, each featuring three black totalizers with red hands.
Each version of the dial is available with either bevelled hour
markers or double-layer Arabic numeral appliques. The design
of the semi cut-out hands is sleek and precise. The inscription
TUDOR GENEVE appears on a small satin-fi nished plaque
below the brand’s red logo at 12 o’clock.
The TUDOR Fastrider chronograph is available with a satinfi
nished triple-link steel bracelet with a polished centre piece,
or a leather strap with a folding clasp and a new safety catch,
or a black fabric strap featuring three sporty stripes that echo
those on the dial.
