The history of Corum owes its birth to Rene Bannwart. With his strong business acumen and watchmaking experience gained from the most renowned watch manufacturers, he registered his trademark Corum in 1955, together with his uncle Gaston Ries. Particularly attracted by 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 creation, the brand showed determination to position itself among the leading ranks of the Swiss watchmaking industry.

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

We present to you a watch from what we consider the most beautiful series of the Admirals. The Admiral’s Cup is the second most significant regatta in the world of sailing sports after the America’s Cup, and the biggest prize in this competition—the Admiral’s Cup—has given its name to undoubtedly the most significant line of Corum watches. When creating this watch, Corum did not plan to make a model for professional yachtsmen, but rather a bright and stylish watch—worthy representative of the Admiral’s Cup collection.

Differentiating from its predecessors, this watch features a comfortable yet noticeable 12-sided case and a "multi-layered" effect on the case—which measures 44mm without the crown (which, along with the keepers and the chronograph buttons, further contributes to the impression of a significantly larger watch).

The beautifully decorated dial, whose design is executed in a noble black color and is surrounded by the characteristic markers for this Corum series, reflected in the form of "flag" representations of the numbers from 1 to 12, as well as the 12-sided bezel—in this case, the flags are black and white, as if a negative of the colored version. The chronograph's second hand is steel, and luminescence covers the other hands. The crown, besides being screw-down, is also protected by keepers, the case back is transparent, providing the opportunity to enjoy the work of the mechanism—which, in this case, is the proven top-grade La Joux-Perret calibre 8601, named by the Corum brand as calibre CO986—COSC certified, with 42 hours power reserve, 31 jewels, and an incredible feel of its work on your wrist. The comfortable steel bracelet with a central link with a carbon insert is stable and very convenient—the clasp is transparent and provides good protection against accidental opening 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.
