  • Admiral’s Cup Seafender 46 Chrono Dive

By equipping this model with Caliber CO753 – an automatic chronograph movement chronometer-certified by the COSC and endowed with a 48-hour power reserve - Corum is laying a new milestone in the creation of its extreme watch range. Handling of the chronograph function is secured in order to avoid any accidental operation. The two round pushbuttons serving to start, stop and rest the chronograph seconds hand as well as the two chronograph hour and minute counter hands are both screw-locked – which means they must be unlocked before making any short-time measurements.

  • Golden Bridge Tourbillon with sapphire bridge

Within this new configuration, the tourbillon carriage of the latest Golden Bridge model is now held by a transparent crystal part that is perfectly visible and more airily light than ever. It thus affords a view of its upper bridge shaped like the Corum key emblem, along with all the mobile parts of its silicon escapement. The entirely guilloché solid gold dial is placed behind the movement rather than in front as is generally the case. It is openworked to ensure that Caliber CO213 is also visible through the back of the watch.

  • Ti-Bridge Power Reserve

To achieve this, the Caliber CO107 is fitted with a satellite gear train that is visible when observing the watch from the side along the 9-3 o’clock axis, but invisible when looking at this Ti-Bridge from the front. This module comprises several specific features, including a differential gear system composed of three wheels – one of which is an off-centered “planetary wheel”. Depending on the direction of its rotation, the latter spins either on its own axis, or around the axis of the two other wheels, thereby connecting the barrel on the one hand and the winding stem on the other to the power-reserve indicator – all within a minimum of space.

Admiral’s Cup Tourbillon 48

  • Admiral’s Cup Tourbillon 48

  • Admiral’s Cup Leap Second 48
  • Romvlvs Retrograde Annual Calendar
  • Admiral’s Cup Tourbillon 48 with …
  • Golden Bridge Full Pavé
  • Admiral’s Cup Tourbillon 48

The carriage of the tourbillon, held by a horizontal bridge, bears the CORUM key symbol. Placed at 6 o’clock, this signature touch echoes the two other openings cut out in the plate at 12 and 3 o’clock respectively, and which partially reveal the inside of the movement. Like the other openings on the back of the caliber, they provide glimpses of the gear trains and other parts that are PVD-coated.
The bridges and mainplate are crafted in red-colored 5N 18-carat solid gold. All parts are treated to a high-end hand-crafted finish. Beveled and drawn out with a file, their surfaces are satin-brushed or engraved with a vertical Côtes de Genève motif, before being clad in their black PVD coating. Endowed with a 90-hour power reserve supplied by a single barrel, this caliber beats at a speed of 21,600 vibrations per hour.

  • Admiral’s Cup Challenge 44 Split-Seconds

The black lacquered dial is adorned with distinctive nautical pennants around the flange. The red-rimmed chevron-style hour-markers are filled with a luminescent substance. The bezel is made of carbon, as are the three lever-shaped pushers that activate the functions of this chronograph: the two traditional pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock, centered on the lugs, and the one controlling the red lacquered split-second hand, at 8:30.

  • Admiral’s Cup Leap Second 48

Based on the Admiral’s Cup design with its twelve-sided bezel and sapphire crystal,CORUM now offers a self-winding split-second chronograph with jumping seconds.

The system includes two barrels, one of which is dedicated to driving the jumping seconds hand. A sports watch to the core, the Admiral’s Cup boasts an extremely readable dial on which the contrasts are further accentuated by the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. The flange is painted with 12 nautical pennant corresponding to the figures 1 to 12, as used in the maritime International Signals Code.

  • Admiral’s Cup Tides 48 

For coastal regions where the tide comes in on average every 12hrs 25 mins, the Admiral’s Cup Tides 48 provides all the important information about the tides: the lunar month, the strength of the tide, an estimate of high waters and current strengths, as well as the time of the tides.
Always well anchored to its automatic Tides CO 277 movement exclusive to CORUM, the Admiral’s Cup Tides 48 has an exterior in titanium (case and buckle) and components in vulcanized rubber (bezel, caseback, lateral crown protection, strap). The famous 12-sided case of the Admiral’s Cup collection has inspired the dial – which follows the same pattern of lines pennant by pennant, hour-marker after hour-marker. Water-resistance, 300m.

This historical model of the CORUM brand, with an all-new design and exemplary ease of use, permits the simultaneous display of two time zones. The fine brushed upper surface of the bezel features the 12 engraved Roman numerals, the recognizable signature of the ROMVLUS design. To safeguard optimum water-resistance, each crystal is inserted manually, piece by piece, using a tool specially developed for this purpose. Second time-zone subdial at 12 o’clock. Another subdial at 6 o’clock displays the seconds. Meanwhile, at 3 o’clock, the date stands out in white against a black background. All of the setting operations for the two time zones and date are actuated very simply by means of the pull-out crown.

  • Golden Tourbillon Panoramique

As its name suggests, this unique model in the world of watchmaking applies the Golden Bridge concept to the tourbillon.
