3 A PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE The last day of June 2011 marked another significant 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 flange 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-finished plaque below the brand s red logo at 12 o clock. The TUDOR Fastrider chronograph is available with a satinfinished 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.
