Where the hell did this come from?
What a gorgeous watch, one of the best looking watches Tudor have made in a long time.
I’m off to call the local dealers to find out more.

I love that blue dial / red second hand combination.
yep. The rehaut at 12 gives it away.Originally Posted by bwest76

I’ve missed that thread then, looks absolutely amazing with the black and blue and the clean dial face with the red lettering is making me like this a lot.

Thee Chrono version looks rubbish, another case of less is more

And ruins it the FXD original is way better.
Totally agree with that but the base model is gorgeous.

I’ve put my name down for the chrono - I think it looks stunning. Each to their own…
Apologies, and no disrespect just think its quite busy over the non chrono that really lets the colour pop and is 25% cheaper! If you love it that’s all that matters

Red Bull?
How very dare they!
Never.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
A watch with energy drink branding on the rehaut. Classy

I know, imagine Rolex putting a Pizza box on a Airking! That would just degrade it!!!

Fixed that for you….A plastic watch with energy drink branding on the rehaut. Classy
It’s a good job we all like different things.
No offence taken and thanks for your reply - I have the titanium FXD and it’s easily my favourite watch. The chrono has the same DNA but is also significantly different hence my want.
The red bull branding mentioned by other does not bother me at all, but I can see why it would put people off. Great thing about watches is the way they are viewed differently.
I considered it but will stick with my MN version as it highlights Tudor at their best going their own way.
I love the looks but don’t want to buy in to the Red Bull marketing

+1. A bit decisive for prospective customer who aren’t Red Bull fans…..whatever the sport.
Sorry OP but you seem to have missed the point.
This FXD is not titanium.
It is a Carbon Fibre case.
Sure, the bezel and crown are Ti, but that's it.
It’s still a stunner and has me putting my name down at the local dealers.
I can even look past the Red Bull tie in, can’t wait to see it in the flesh…

It's actually carbon composite. AKA plastic
Love it =)
Some people would love a turd on a Rolex dial.

We all like different things. I don't like tie-ins as a rule but love both of these, particularly the three hander. For me the blue is a nicer colour than the FXD by miles. Go for it OP!

Yup, plastic. As in the same material they make aircraft wings out of, or F1 suspension, or F1 driver protection shells. Or any number of other high performance products. You know, just plastic.It's actually carbon composite. AKA plastic
Oh, and the Titan submersible.

Missed the point? What a load of bull. [And "Sorry", pathetic touch.] The point is the OP likes the watch, plain and simple. Disappointing to see the usual array of snide comments, from those with FA better to do.
OP, I agree, a cracking looking watch. Enjoy it when it arrives!
The OP put titanium in the title, and it isn't, it's a carbon composite watch.
I just wanted to make sure he had read the specs properly, and he has, and remains commited.
All good. Nothing snide from me.
Nice endorsement.Yup, plastic. As in the same material they make aircraft wings out of, or F1 suspension, or F1 driver protection shells. Or any number of other high performance products. You know, just plastic.

I am waiting to see one of these at my local AD. Agree that the chrono could look a shade busy to some, but it does have the advantage of a date complication. Either the ti or the carbon 3 hander with a date would be the perfect holiday/travel watch. Imho of course.
And a gratuitous pic of my ti in the sunshine on the north coast of NI yesterday.

I had the opportunity to spend some time handling and trying on both these watches at my local boutique.
The cases are nicely finished as you would expect but boy are they light! The material reminds me of the stuff used on the Breitling Endurance Pro.
I joked that they are plastic earlier in the thread but on the wrist that is the kind of heft to expect. The Chronograph has, understandably, a little more wrist presence and weight due to the movement and pushers.
They are undoubtedly very handsome on the wrist and will be popular for those that can look past the material heft and co branding.
I like the chrono, more interesting without being cluttered or distracting.

Love the chrono and hopeful for a non Red Bull version.
Agreed - it looks fantastic, but I couldn’t personally wear a Red Bull branded watch.Where the hell did this come from?
What a gorgeous watch, one of the best looking watches Tudor have made in a long time.
Hope a non-RB version gets made.

Fraser Hart Peterborough have to the ‘normal’ MN23 in stock if anyone wants one.
Just called up to put a deposit on a chrono FXD and they told me.
Just declined the three hander so they are starting to roll out.
Remaining on the list for the Chrono.
Thanks-I want to try one on but cannot find one anywhere. Peterborough is a bit further than I want to travel just to try one though
Thanks for the update - I think I’ve registered my interest everywhere for the chrono so fingers crossed for my birthday at the end of August.
Yep 2 ADs in Kingston have the 3 hander (the MN one not the Alingi one)
I tried putting my name down at launch and got told no chance. Sounds like it's worth another try? (I was after the three hander)

Well worth it as these may not be as in demand as Tudor were anticipating given the divisive Red Bull branding.
There is a red bull on eBay for £3500, but saying he will take £3400 and it has not sold so I do not think they will be a huge demand on the secondary market.

It’s actually at £3300 or best offer now.
Been offered one for retail on ebay now!

And, other things are also not classy?
