Founded in 1955, Montres Corum Sàrl – commonly referred to simply as Corum – is known for its high-quality limited edition watches. While many companies have tried and failed at the Limited Edition business model, Corum has not only succeeded – it has garnered critical acclaim in doing so. This is largely due to the unique aesthetic and bold design of its watches, which draw inspiration from everything from sporting events to historical figures and mythical creatures.
The watch on offer here is considered the flagship of Corum’s benchmark series – the Admiral’s Cup collection. The Admiral’s Cup Competition comes equipped with a hefty dodecagonal case, fashioned out of titanium and rose gold. As it measures at 48mm in diameter, it would only be suited to a strong and confident wrist. The watch was inspired by the Admiral’s Cup regatta and rightfully commemorates the prestigious race by sporting inverted nautical flags as hour markers, as well as a compass for the seconds sub-dial. It is powered by the Corum caliber CO 947 – a COSC-certified 24-jewel automatic movement based on the Valjoux 7750. It is ticking per specs and was just polished by our master watchmaker, so now the condition is great and it comes in a full set of boxes and papers, on a new OEM black silicone strap.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty, starting on the date of purchase.
