2021 Tudor Fastrider Black Shield Ceramic Chrono 42mm 42000CN

Here we have the underrated 2021 Tudor Fastrider Black Shield Ceramic Chrono 42mm 42000CN. The Fastrider Black Shield was born from a collaboration with Ducati, specifically made for motorsport purists and stealth watch enthusiasts who appreciate high-tech materials and an aggressive, racing-inspired aesthetic. A bold 42mm matte black ceramic monobloc case features sharp, angular lugs that sit confidently on your wrist, with a 49mm lug-to-lug length and 14.5mm thickness, giving the watch a striking, muscular presence. On the right side, a screw-down winding crown and rapid-action chronograph pushers are crafted in black PVD-treated steel, while a flush-mounted rapid date corrector sits at 9 o'clock. The fixed matte black ceramic bezel features an engraved tachymetric scale, allowing for instant speed calculations. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits above the stealthy matte black dial; a clean outer track surrounds applied white indexes with a white accent minute chapter ring that aggressively marks the hours. Tudor branding sits proudly below 12 o'clock with the iconic shield logo, and Black Shield is perfectly balanced by three recessed chronograph sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, alongside a discreet colour-matched round date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. The signature skeletonised hands are treated with luminescent material, complemented by a sweeping white chronograph second hand that injects a distinctive contrast. On the reverse, a screw-down black PVD-treated steel case back. Inside, the reliable automatic Tudor Cal. 7753 (based on the legendary ETA 7753) features 27 jewels and a smooth 28,800 vibrations per hour. This exceptional timepiece comes paired with its original 24mm Tudor black strap with a folding clasp in black PVD-treated steel. The watch comes complete with its Tudor presentation box, swing tags, and paperwork.
