Since 1960, the powerful allure and technical performance of Corum's Admiral's Cup collection has encapsulated the historic link between the Swiss watch making brand and sailing. In 2016, this sporting icon is enhanced with a world-time complication.
The Admiral's Cup Legend 47 Worldtimer comes in a 47 mm case, water-resistant to 100 m, and mounted with a distinctive twelve-sided bezel. It is available in titanium (with a painted black dial), or titanium and rose gold (with a smoked sapphire crystal dial, which provides a glimpse of the working parts of its mechanical heart). The watch possesses large luminescent Dauphine hands, a skeleton second hand, and the famous nautical pennants.
The open bottom of the dial is equipped with a smoked sapphire crystal engraved with the names of cities in 24 time zones as well as their abbreviations. As a result one can admire the CO376 calibre, an automatically-winding manufacture movement, with its bars echoing a dodecagon and its openwork oscillating weight. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 48-hour power reserve, it powers functions for the hour, minute, and second, as well as a second time zone and city indicators. Selecting the time zone is particularly easy, via the crown situated at 2 o'clock, while pressing on the pusher at 2 o'clock allows the hour hand to jump forward.
Both models are completed with a black vulcanized rubber strap equipped with a tri-fold clasp.
