TUDOR Fastrider Black Shield 42mm Watch 42000CR

The TUDOR Fastrider Black Shield 42000CR-0002 showcases advanced ceramic manufacturing through monobloc construction that creates entire case as single injected piece rather than applied ceramic coating. The matt black ceramic finish with integrated tachymetric bezel demonstrates TUDOR’s technological expertise developed from Pelagos production whilst the subtle Ducati collaboration maintains design restraint through minimal triangular shield detail on the date pusher.

At 42mm with monolithic ceramic case, this delivers exceptional scratch resistance and permanent colour retention through high-tech materials that eliminate wear concerns associated with traditional coatings. The matt finish accentuates architectural lines whilst the direct-action chronograph pushers ensure responsive timing operation essential for motorsport applications.

The self-winding chronograph movement provides 46-hour power reserve with reliable automatic winding that accommodates irregular wearing patterns. The PVD-treated steel elements create subtle material contrast whilst maintaining the predominantly ceramic character that defines the Black Shield concept.

The understated Ducati partnership appears only through geometric shield shape that frames the date correction pusher, avoiding overt branding whilst acknowledging shared performance engineering values. The 150m water resistance covers demanding sporting use beyond pure motorsport timing.

This Fastrider Black Shield suits collectors seeking innovative ceramic technology with restrained collaborative design. The monobloc construction represents significant manufacturing advancement whilst the minimal Ducati references appeal to those who value engineering partnerships over obvious brand collaboration aesthetics.
