Descrição original

The history of Corum owes its birth to Rene Bannwart. With his strong business skills and watchmaking experience, gained from the most renowned watch manufacturers, he registered his Corum trademark back in 1955 together with his uncle Gaston Ries. Particularly drawn to the Latin term "quorum," which means the minimum number of people required to make informed decisions, Rene Bannwart simplified the spelling of his trademark to "Corum," thus giving it even more individuality and uniqueness. From its very inception, the brand has shown a determination to position itself at the forefront of the Swiss watchmaking industry.

The Admiral’s Cup is undoubtedly one of Corum's most important and emblematic series and is perhaps the most recognizable among all watches produced by the brand. In its 50 years of existence, watches from this line have undergone numerous variations, received all sorts of complications, and have gradually increased in size.

We present to your attention a watch from what is, in our opinion, the most beautiful series of the Admirals. The Admiral’s Cup is the second most important regatta in the world of sailing after the America’s Cup, and the grandest prize of this competition—the Admiral's Cup—has given its name to arguably the most significant line of Corum watches. In creating this watch, Corum did not plan to make a model for professional yachtsmen, but rather a vibrant and stylish timepiece—a worthy representative of the Admiral’s Cup collection.

From its predecessors, this watch is distinguished by its comfortable, yet noticeable from afar, 12-sided case and the "multilayered" effect of the case—which is 44 mm without the crown (which, along with the crown guards and chronograph pushers, further contributes to the impression of a much larger watch).

The beautifully decorated dial, whose design is executed in a noble black color and is framed by the Corum series' now-iconic hour markers, reflected in the form of the "flag" depiction of the numbers from 1 to 12, as well as the 12-sided bezel—in this case, the flags are black and white, like a negative of the color version. The chronograph seconds hand is steel, while luminescence covers the other hands. The crown is not only screw-down but also protected by crown guards, the case back is transparent and provides the opportunity to enjoy the workings of the movement—which in this case is the proven top-grade La Joux-Perret calibre 8601, named by the brand Corum calibre CO986—COSC certified, with a 42-hour power reserve, 31 jewels, and an incredible feeling from its operation on your wrist. The comfortable steel bracelet with a central link with a carbon insert is stable and very comfortable—the clasp is a deployant and provides good protection against unfastening and ease of use.

The watch is impressive, attractive, a current model, and is from the brand's expensive series, and the fact that it is brand new makes the offer even more attractive.
