Corum Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44 Chrono Rubber

Corum fuses vulcanized rubber to the Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44′s steel case to add color and to create a non-slip surface that is highly useful in wet environments. The rubber case and matching straps have a matte finish and a velvet-like feel. The case maintains the distinctive twelve-sided shape and the inner bezel ring adorned with nautical pennants that are Admiral’s Cup trademarks. Find pricing and wallpaper inside.

At Baselworld last week Corum unveiled the Admiral’s Cup Legend 42. The twelve-sided bezel and nautical pennants have defined Admiral’s Cup family for decades.

Corum Round Golden Bridge Limited Edition

To celebrate the brand’s 55th anniversary, Corum is re-issuing some of its classic models in limited series. One of them is the Round Golden Bridge featuring the legendary C0113 baguette movement. This caliber accommodates 140 components in a space just just 33mm long, 3mm high and less than 5mm thick.

This mechanical, hand-wound caliber is equipped with a variable-inertia balance beating at a frequency of 4 Hertz or 28,800 vph. Other technical features include a barrel equipped with slip-springs, a 40-hour power reserve, as well as the solid gold hand-engraved mainplate and bridges.

The 41mm case is suitable for a man or a woman and the open design allows the movement to be viewed from all angles. Even the hands are openworked so as to hide as little of the movement as possible.

The Round Golden Bridge will be issued in a limited edition of 75 pieces, priced at $25,000. Complete specifications appear below the image, which may be enlarged with a click.

Basel Preview: Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Admiral’s Cup, Corum is launching the Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45. The movement, caliber CO 010, took 12 of Corum’s best watchmakers 2 years to develop. Corum wanted to avoid the traditional slide to wind the repeater, fearing that on a sporty watch, it might catch on something and damage the mechanism. The solution was to wind the repeater via the bezel.
