Tudor Fastrider watches

The Tudor Fastrider is the brand's motorcycle chronograph line, which began in 2011 when Tudor announced its partnership with the Italian motorcycle maker Ducati. The watches are 42 mm chronographs with a tachymeter scale around the dial.

The Fastrider Black Shield, released in 2013, was inspired by the Ducati Diavel. Its case is a single block of matte black ceramic, with the tachymeter scale part of the case, and it was the first all-ceramic case Tudor produced. The watch is not dual-branded: the only nod to Ducati is on the left side of the case, where the date corrector is framed by a triangular shield shaped like the Ducati logo. The black dial has faceted three-dimensional hour markers, framed chronograph sub-dials and a round date window with a black disc between 4 and 5 o'clock.

Black Shield references ending CN, such as the 42000CN-0017, have black or black-and-sand dials; the 42000CR references add red. The same dial appears on leather, rubber or Alcantara straps under different reference suffixes, which is why one look carries several numbers.

The Fastrider Chrono (42010N), from 2015, takes its cue from the revamped Ducati Scrambler. Here the 42 mm case is satin-finished steel with a matte black ceramic bezel and PVD-treated pushers and crown, and the matte dial comes in yellow (inspired by the 1962 Scrambler), olive green or red, with sub-dials that match the dial colour. It is water resistant to 150 m and runs on a modified ETA 7753, a self-winding chronograph movement with about 46 hours of reserve. Straps are black leather or black rubber.
