CASE #597 — TUDOR PELAGOS FXD REDBULL REF. M25707KN-0001 Status: Active Investigation Condition: Excellent Pre-Owned Scope: Box, Papers, and Cards Year: 2023 🔎 CASE NOTES The Tudor Pelagos FXD was already a purpose-built instrument — a fixed-bar dive watch designed in collaboration with the Marine Nationale, stripped of pretension and engineered for hostile environments. Then Tudor did something unexpected: they handed the brief to Oracle Red Bull Racing. The result, the Pelagos FXD "Alinghi Red Bull Racing" edition, reference M25707KN-0001, is a watch that trades the ocean floor for the open water of competitive sailing — and in doing so became one of the most aggressively sought-after Tudor releases in recent memory. The carbon composite case, the bold blue dial, the co-branded caseback — every detail signals that this is not a catalogue filler. This is a limited collaboration piece with genuine sporting DNA. What makes this reference particularly fascinating from an investigative standpoint is how quickly it established its own collector identity. Tudor's carbon composite construction gives the 42mm case an unmistakable tactile and visual character — lightweight, matte, and almost stealth-like on the wrist. The fixed spring bars and NATO strap configuration reinforce the tool-watch ethos, while the Alinghi Red Bull Racing livery on the dial and bezel insert inject a dose of high-velocity glamour. It is a watch that lives in the tension between rugged utility and lifestyle aspiration, and the market has responded accordingly. These are not easy to find, and clean examples even less so. 🕰️ THE EVIDENCE Reference: M25707KN-0001 Model: Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing Case: Carbon Composite Case Size: 42 mm Bezel: Fixed Carbon Composite with Ceramic Insert Crystal: Sapphire with Anti-Reflective Coating Dial: Blue with Applied Stick Indices Movement: Automatic — Tudor Calibre MT5602 (COSC-certified, ~70-hour power reserve) Bracelet: NATO Strap (fixed spring bars) Year: 2023 Accessories: Box, Papers, and Cards Condition Notes: Watch is in beautiful condition — almost no noticeable signs of wear on case sides and flanks. Bezel numerals do show some light yellowing, which is a known quirk with this model and is consistent across examples in the field. ⚙️ MOVEMENT DOSSIER Beneath the caseback beats the Tudor Calibre MT5602, a fully manufacture movement that punches well above its price class. COSC-certified and delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve from a single barrel, the MT5602 features a silicon balance spring for superior resistance to magnetic fields and shock — a critical specification for a watch designed to accompany elite athletes in extreme conditions. Tudor's decision to house an in-house movement of this caliber inside a collaboration piece underscores that the Pelagos FXD Redbull is not a marketing exercise wearing a mechanical disguise. It is a serious instrument with serious credentials. ⚓ THE CARBON QUESTION Tudor's use of carbon composite for the Pelagos FXD line deserves its own chapter in the case file. The material is exceptionally lightweight, corrosion-proof, and visually distinctive — each case exhibits a subtly unique surface pattern inherent to the composite layering process. For collectors accustomed to steel and titanium, carbon introduces something genuinely novel to the wrist. The noted light yellowing on the bezel numerals has been widely documented across this reference and is attributable to the specific lume compound and ceramic insert interaction. It is not a defect — it is a fingerprint of the model, and seasoned collectors of this reference recognize it as such. 🌟 COLLECTOR PROVENANCE This example presents in excellent condition with virtually no wear to the carbon composite case — a material that, while durable, can show handling marks more readily than polished steel. The completeness of the set — full box, papers, and cards from 2023 — is exactly what discerning collectors demand. A full-kit Pelagos FXD Redbull in this state is a strong holding in any modern Tudor collection. The broader provenance story only strengthens the case. Tudor produced this reference in limited quantities as part of an active partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, and primary market availability has long since dried up. As Tudor continues to build its identity as a manufacture brand with genuine sporting collaborations — not merely licensed logo placements — early examples from these partnerships will only grow in significance. This is the entry point that collectors look back on fondly. 🧾 FROM THE CASE FILE Tudor Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing, reference M25707KN-0001, dated 2023. Carbon composite case, 42mm, fixed spring bars, blue dial with stick indices, automatic manufacture Calibre MT5602. Presented on original NATO strap with full box, papers, and cards. Excellent condition with minimal case wear and characteristic light bezel numeral yellowing consistent with the model. 🗝️ BST VERDICT A near-pristine example of one of Tudor's most compelling modern collaborations — full kit, barely worn, and increasingly difficult to source. The Pelagos FXD Redbull is a watch that collectors are chasing now, not later. If this case file crossed your desk, you'd be wise to act on it. 👉 Every case deserves a closer look.
