Tudor released a new Black Bay 58, now with a brilliant burgundy dial and a matching bezel. The deep red hue isn’t just a bold aesthetic choice; it’s a tribute to a 1990s Tudor Submariner prototype that featured a similar burgundy dial and bezel. While that prototype never made it to production, its influence is undeniable in this new release.

Tudor Black Bay 58 Burgundy
The Tudor Black Bay 58 Burgundy seamlessly blends vintage inspiration with modern refinement, featuring a deep red sunburst dial and bezel that nods to a 1990s Tudor prototype. Its 39mm case maintains the perfect balance of retro proportions and contemporary versatility, while the inclusion of the METAS-certified MT5400-U caliber elevates its accuracy, anti-magnetic properties, and reliability with a 70-hour power reserve. With bracelet and strap options that enhance its wearability, this Master Chronometer makes a bold yet practical statement in the Tudor lineup.
The watch is priced at US$4,725.
Press release
This new edition of the Black Bay 58 retains all the core design elements from TUDOR throughout the ages and includes aesthetic notes from a prototype TUDOR Submariner ref. 79190 developed in the ‘90s. The watch boasted a brilliant burgundy dial with a matching bezel. It never saw production, but this design now lives on in the form of a brand-new Black Bay 58. The burgundy unidirectional rotatable bezel offers very prehensible sides and its insert shows subtly curved numerals aligning with the outline of the outer ring.
On top of the new design, the new Black Bay 58 gets the Master Chronometer certification. METAS Master Chronometer certification is comprehensive and covers the main functional characteristics of a watch including precision, resistance to magnetic fields, waterproofness and power reserve. Its standards are incredibly high, starting with precision.
