Since its inception in 1909, the Giro d’Italia, as the “big brother” of global cycling events, has not only been a dream stage for riders, but also a focus for major brands to compete for cooperation. In recent days, Tudor has launched a limited edition “pink model” watch, specially tailored for the Giro d’Italia, which is both beautiful and practical. Do you want to know the wonderful stories behind this watch? Come and unveil its mystery together!

Giro d’Italia

The Giro d’Italia was founded in 1909 and is the big brother among global cycling events. It is one of the three major tours in the world, together with the Tour de France and the Tour of Germany. It is a dream event for professional riders. Although it was held earlier than the other two events, its popularity and influence are slightly lower. Especially after the Tour de France has gradually become internationalized in recent years, many top riders often choose to abandon the Giro d’Italia and participate in the Tour de France. After all, there is still a big gap between fame and sponsors.

But the Giro d’Italia still has its own charm. Many riders still dream of getting the pink jersey, because it means that you are the fastest player in this event, and you can wear it all the time during the game and enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.

As the official timekeeper of the Giro d’Italia, Tudor watches must of course provide some help to the contestants. Although professional drivers have reached a superb level of control of time, no one would think that the time reading on their dial is clearer, so Tudor has prepared a limited edition watch for the players, with a recalibrated tachymeter engraved on the outer edge of the dial.

At this point, someone may want to ask, is a speedometer necessary for riding a bicycle? There must be a speedometer on the cycling track. With many years of competition experience, the players can basically accurately judge their own speed.

But for professional drivers, all data must not be wrong. Even a gap of 0.1 seconds may make you miss the championship trophy. Moreover, there are strict regulations on the equipment of professional drivers. Even if the scale on the dial does not meet the regulations, you may be directly punished.

Therefore, Tudor designed a tachometer specifically for players, and the scale of this tachometer is very clever. It is no longer horizontal and vertical like a traditional tachometer, but is laid out in a spiral manner. This not only makes the entire dial look more beautiful, but also allows players to read the time faster.

Only 300 pieces of Tudor’s limited-edition FXD chronograph “pink model” are produced, which represents its respect and support for the Giro d’Italia and pays tribute to this world’s top event.

Tudor watch “pink model”

This watch is made of high-tech materials, with a stainless steel case and a matte black dial. It is very low-key, and the embellishment is pink, which is very eye-catching. This is because the pink jersey is the most important symbol in this event.

There is also a very thoughtful design on the watch, which is the recalibrated tachymeter. Although professional drivers control their speed very well, the speedometer is older than the electronic display screen. If the speedometer reads the wrong time and the championship is lost, it will really be more than worth the loss.

Tudor’s original movement MT5813 is certified by the Swiss Official Observatory. The average travel time error is between 2 and +4 seconds. This accuracy is quite terrifying. Moreover, the movement has a power reserve of 70 hours. Even if you are not wearing the watch, it can maintain good travel time.

Some people may worry that Tudor watches are uncomfortable to wear while riding, but you can rest assured that this watch is equipped with a 22 mm wide black jacquard textured strap. This material is not only comfortable, but also has good breathability and elasticity, making it very suitable for long-term wear.

Conclusion

The combination of the Giro d’Italia and Tudor watches is truly wonderful, embodying the traditional charm of the event while also injecting elements of modern technology. This limited edition watch is not only a tribute to the event, but also a respect for professional drivers. Do you think this watch is worth owning?
