Engaged for the past year in a profound process of transformation, the Tudor brand “wheelied” into the summer of 2011 by reinforcing its modern, sporty vocation with the June 30 announcement of its new status as “Timing Partner” of the legendary Italian motorbike manufacturer Ducati. The comparison between the acknowledged properties of resistance, reliability and precision inherent in Tudor watches, and the high-speed qualities of the powerful Ducati desdromonic-valve engines, also extends to the robustness of the frames on which they are mounted. This partnership has been naturally sealed by the launch of a commemorative edition of the self-winding Fastrider chronograph, distinguished by Ducati red accents on the vertical stripes on the wristband and on the dial of the Tudor Fastrider. Its pushers, which are inserted into the case middle by black PVD cylinders reminiscent of engine pistons, along with the tachometric scale engraved on the bezel, set the finishing touches to this high-octane mechanical blend.
