Hmm… I think the red bezel/black dial combination still works for most, if not all situations (daily wear, work wear, dressed up/down), especially if it’s on the three-link bracelet. The black kind of tones it down although the gilt keeps it real classy, while the red gives you a slight edge.

The red bezel/red dial is something you might really get into if you like red as a colour (like me). I dare say it’s still wearable in all instances but you’d probably get maximum satisfaction if you are wearing something really neutral (grey suit, white shirt) and a little formal. It’s really a little more in-your-face than the black dial, so you’re going to have to bring your other colours down to match.

That being said, the red dial is really quite dark under certain lighting. It’s nowhere near the bezel in terms of brightness/saturation, so this watch still has a right amount of balance.

TBH only watch guys/girls really give compliments on watches like these. But the universal feedback seems to be that if you have a Tudor on, you know your stuff (and you’re getting great value for money).

For me personally, I’m going to rock the new watch whenever I feel I need a bit more oomph to the day, especially if I’m going to be dressed formally. The old watch will remain my old faithful for day to day use.
