Tudor Black Bay 58 Owner Review : Historical, mythical and mysterious

TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy Master Chronometer – The Icon Sublimated (2025) There are watches that don't just make an impression: they captivate them. The all-new TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy, version 2025, is clearly one of them. Its dial is a visual enigma, oscillating between deep cherry, intense morello cherry, and sometimes even velvety black, depending on the light and angle. A lively, textured, almost organic dial. It gives this watch a soul, a magnetic presence that transcends the simple timepiece. The 39.02 mm case remains faithful to the perfectly balanced proportions of the Black Bay 58, while offering an ultra-reduced thickness, very appreciable on the wrist. All of this is paired with a sumptuous five-link “grain of rice” bracelet, at once retro, technical, and remarkably comfortable. A true caress on the skin. Technically, this watch is impressive. It is now Master Chronometer (METAS) certified, ensuring absolute chronometric precision, advanced antimagnetic resistance, and water resistance to 200 meters. It ticks all the boxes of a modern diver's watch... with added style. And as is often the case with TUDOR, a discreet nod flatters enthusiasts: this BB58 Burgundy 2025 pays homage to a unique prototype from the 1990s, possibly reference 79180 or 79190, a secret but precious part of the brand's history. In short? Lunar. Crazy. Unfairly beautiful. A watch that I fell in love with, a stroke of genius. I fell in love. And you?
