perhaps it's black tie

English to Chinese Social Sciences Sports / Fitness / Recreation
The Fifty Fathoms celebrates its silver anniversary in basic black, just like the original--though given the price tag of this sleek dive watch, perhaps it's black tie.

可Fifty Fathoms 这款手表明明标价13900美元的啊?!

就算是黑马配黑鞍吧

确实有难度!我认为,从上下文及asker的注解来看,这款潜水表价格奇高,恐怕一般人难以消受。black tie是隆重礼节时打的黑色领结,高贵,隆重。如果用西方的领结来翻译(就算是潜水一族的黑领结),目标语言的阅读者不一定能完全理解,还是变通一下,中国有句话,叫好马配好鞍,索性这个地方翻译成黑马配黑鞍,即符合中文想要表达的意思,同时也能兼顾英文上下文的强调的black。仅供参考。

黑马,当然是潜水一族,黑鞍,就是指这款昂贵的潜水表

正式的,隆重的庆祝

同样是黑,前面纯洁的黑充满了历史性`纪念性意义,后来所说的黑更进一步增加这玩意儿之黑色所包含的名贵潇洒风度。 It's a play with the word "black". It's rhetoric. 文风嘛。

try

My understanding is it is more costly, formal and expensive-looking.
Fifty Fathoms以最初的黑色(设计)来庆祝二十五周年纪念,唯一不同的是(this is basically the meaning, but you can choose your own wording):这款的标价更加昂贵,表身亦更正式,考究。

basic = 简洁朴素? 基本? 根本?

说是\'朴素/朴实黑\':但是\"黑领结\'也许更合适!

agree Wenjer Leuschel (X) : 如果从这款体面的潜水表价格看来,这可能是正式上场用的行头吧。
