The Corum Admiral's Cup Black Hull 48 sporty chronograph has been developed as a handy and stylish tool for measuring short time intervals.
The timepiece houses an automatic-winding mechanical chronograph movement - the CO-753 caliber, the mechanism offering precision and reliability guaranteed by a COSC chronometer certificate. In addition to hours, minutes, seconds and the date, the 27-jewel movement provides the chronograph function. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and gives an advantage of a 42-hour power reserve.
The resolutely masculine Corum watch features tight lines, being cloaked in intense black color. The Admiral's Cup signature 12-sided case is crafted from titanium, the material characterized by remarkable lightness and hardness. The titanium 48-mm-in-diameter case is covered with black PVD.
The case construction demonstrates locking pushbuttons, representing the brand's exclusive lockout system. The pushbuttons are also crafted from titanium and are PVD-treated. They hug a titanium crown, featuring the Corum key engraving. The convex glare-proofed sapphire crystal is surrounded by a black vulcanized rubber bezel. The black titanium screw-down case back is embellished with the Admiral's Cup trophy. The timepiece is 300-meter water-resistant.
The dial of the Corum Admiral's Cup Black Hull 48 watch shows off minute numerals and chevrons provided with black luminescent treatment, along with the faceted hour and minute hands, resulting in perfect readability even in the dark.
The chronograph seconds hand is located at the center of the dial, featuring the Corum key as a counterweight. It is covered with deep black lacquer.
The small chronograph minute and hour counters and the small seconds hand found at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock respectively are equipped with polished-to-a-taper hands. With help of relief, they are made more visible.
You will find the date window at 4:30. The flange is completed with the collection's symbolic 12 nautical pennants marking the hours.
The winding rotor reveals the brand's name engraving.
The Corum Admiral's Cup Black Hull 48 watch is coupled with a black vulcanized rubber strap fitted with a titanium pin buckle treated with black PVD and engraved with Corum name.
