The new red gold or steel Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 interpreted in two-tone versions is

adorned with the same metallic blue color that graced its first modern version in 1983.

This tribute to the historical model will be issued in a strictly limited 400-piece limited

edition.

 

When the Admiral’s Cup was first released in 1960, it immediately established itself as one

of the first perfectly water-resistant shaped sports watches. 23 years later, when its

design was reinterpreted through adopting its current identity codes – 12 nautical

pennants from the maritime international code of signals serving as hour-markers, along

with a twelve-sided case – it became a truly phenomenal success. In homage to this model

that has come to symbolize the House, Corum now presents a limited series reflecting the

vintage “gunmetal blue”: the Admiral’s Cup Legend 42.

 

The Admiral’s Cup collection is composed of several distinct worlds: the sturdy and

sophisticated Seafender line designed for adventurers: the sporty yet distinguished

Challenger line suitable for wear on all occasions; and finally, the Legend line introduced in

2011 and which flirts with the frontiers of classic elegance in a subtly refined and gentle

manner. While the new variations feature a more modest size, more curving lugs and softer

angles, they maintain the same unique identity codes of the Admiral’s Cup. All of which

ensures that these new classics imbued with a casual spirit proclaim their sporting origins

in a subtle yet effective manner.

 

Classic elegance

The case and the outer bracelet links are decked out in a metallic blue color achieved by a

PVD Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment. This color that was all the rage in the 1980s

also adorns the lugs, the crown guard and the dial. The latter exudes a aura of distinctive

elegance with its vertical guilloché finish and its stylized nautical pennants appearing

around the inner bezel ring, The bezel and the central links are made of 18K red gold or

polished steel, thus endowing both two-tone versions with a beautifully balanced aesthetic

appeal.

 

Beating to the rhythm of Caliber CO 395 – a mechanical self-winding movement – the

Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 displays the hours, minutes and small seconds, along with a date

window at 3 o’clock. It has a 42-hour power reserve and features an oscillating weight

engraved with the Corum logo and visible through a transparent exhibition case-back. This

exceptional model is issued in a 400-piece limited edition.
