Burgundy is the colour for people who think they don't want a colourful watch. Indoors it reads almost brown; in sunlight it turns to wine.
The trick is the finish. A sunburst makes it glow, a matte or grained dial keeps it quiet. Here are the burgundy, red and wine dials in the catalogue worth a closer look.

The dial is fired vitreous enamel on copper, made in-house in Glasgow, and the oxblood has a depth that lacquer can only imitate.
