I’ll admit, I’m biased here. I own the original Black Bay 58 with the black dial, and it’s hands down one of the most wearable watches in my collection. Slim enough to slip under a cuff, versatile enough to throw on a NATO, and built like a true diver should be.
But the burgundy? That’s something else. The color isn’t loud, it’s rich. Deep. A shade that feels vintage without feeling costume-y. Tudor nailed the tone. It has just enough personality to stand apart from the black, but not so much that it loses the everyday versatility that makes the 58 special.
When I tried it on, it hit me that this might actually be the more interesting choice for someone coming in fresh. The warmth of the bezel works beautifully against the gilt accents, and it feels a touch more playful than the black dial. I still think the black is the “safe” buy — but the burgundy is the one that turns heads without trying.
Tudor’s strength has always been delivering Rolex DNA without the Rolex tax, and the Black Bay 58 proves it better than anything else in their catalog. The burgundy just adds that extra edge — it’s still the perfect everyday diver, but now with a splash of wine in the glass.
Why it elevates your watch game:
Everyday wearability – At 39mm and under 12mm thick, it’s sized perfectly for daily use.
Burgundy warmth – The bezel color adds character without killing versatility.
Vintage cues – Gilt accents, slim profile, and domed crystal keep the ‘60s diver vibe alive.
Proven movement – Tudor’s MT5402 in-house caliber with COSC certification and 70-hour power reserve.
Strap flexibility – Looks just as good on bracelet, leather, or NATO.
