When high-tech ceramic meets the world of Tudor, the result is, naturally, quite out of the ordinary. A distillation of strength and virility matched with supreme reliability, the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield is an extraordinary timepiece, a chronograph with a fiery temperament adding its energy to a Tudor line dedicated to speed and top performance. Monolithic and scratch-proof, the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield's monobloc case in matt black ceramic is an archetype in its genre. Not only is it fashioned using nothing but high-tech injected ceramic - not ceramic applied to another material as a coating - but it is also made entirely in one process. In addition to the noble aesthetics of this chronograph, the extremely complex procedure adopted for its manufacture - a result of technological expertise acquired in perfecting the bezel of the Pelagos line - ensures that both the middle case and bezel are exceptionally reliable and resistant. Waterproof to a depth of 150m and fitted with direct-action pushers and a screw-down crown in PVD-treated steel, the 42mm case houses a self-winding chronograph Tudor calibre 7753 movement with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The matt finish selected for this monobloc case shows off to particular advantage the clean curves and taut lines of this chronograph. It also accentuates the watch's dimensions and the tachymetric scale engraved on the fixed bezel. A unique statement of precision and performance, the Tudor Fastrider Black Shield is presented on a black rubber strap and continues its elegant design with bronze tone hands and hour markers. Achieving a delicate balance between elegance and performance, Tudor watches are inspired by the retro chic design of the 1950's and 1960's, achieving classic refinement with a modern twist, where attention to detail and clean lines emphasise timeless style.
