Corum is pleased to unveil its
new Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Regatta watch.
Having long partnered with the most prestigious regattas and sailors,
including Loick Peyron and Ben Ainslie, the brand has now developed a
caliber that provided a countdown function with a chronograph.
The new Corum watch has maintained all the classic features of the iconic Admiral’s Cup collection born in 1960.
The novelty is animated by a
new automatic movement -
Caliber CO 040,
operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a
48-hour power-reserve. Its jumping countdown function can be adjusted
from 0 to 10 minutes. Its numerical aperture display guarantees perfect
readability. Its chronograph allows to time up to 12 hours of racing.
Prior to the first regatta signal, the watch owner programs the
countdown function
with help of the crown to the number of minutes according to the
regatta standards at between 0 and 10 minutes, and then presses the
pushbutton to make it run. If it is set to 10 minutes, the transition to
9 in the aperture pointed to by the red arrow is performed via a jump
after 60 seconds. Then, the minutes left are marked off down to 0, and
the final gun is fired signaling the start of the race. Using the
regatta countdown function of the watch its wearer can set it
incrementally to any given minute between the first and last sound
signal before the race starts.
The
extremely accurate chronograph is presented via a red central
sweep-seconds hand and 30-minute and 12-hour counters positioned at 12
and 6 o’clock respectively. It continues running to count off up to 12
hours of racing.
The case, 45 mm in diameter, is rendered in
grade 5 titanium and
reflects the signature identity codes of the collection - an iconic
12-sided bezel and the inner bezel ring bearing the nautical pennants.
The case demonstrates alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes.
There are black PVD-coated inserts embedded between the middle of the
case and back and between the bezel and the middle of the case. The
case-construction is
300-meter water-resistant. It is built with a
transparent sapphire crystal case-back that allows to admire the beauty
of Caliber CO 040 and its black PVD-coated oscillating weight.
The
black dial is completed with hour-markers and hands
provided with light-colored Superluminova. The glance is caught by
extremely sporty red accents.
The
new Corum Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Regatta watch is teamed with a titanium grade 5 bracelet or a crocodile leather strap equipped with a folding clasp. see more
