This is one of the most ambitious Corum watches in years. Limited to just a few pieces, this tour de force of watch complications and the base Admiral’s Cup watch design will be released in the first half of next year. The totally new movement features a tourbillon as well as a minute repeater (interestingly activated by twisting the entire bezel). The watch features three sapphire crystals. One is smoked and placed as the watch dial through which you can view the movement. Read more about the Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon watch in my article here at Haute Living.
We actually debuted the Seafender variations of this Admiral’s Cup watches when the Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT was released in 2011. In 47mm wide, Corum Watches Romvlvs Replica decided it was fitting in the yacht watch collection to produce an aluminum-cased tourbillon. There was likewise an 18k red gold version. While these Seafender Tourbillons are admittedly interesting, I just see no business putting them inside of Admiral’s Cup-style instances. The above mentioned model with diamonds has one of the strangest personalities I have seen all year. It is not a matter of good or bad though it isn’t for me, it’s more a matter than it spins the DNA of the Admiral’s Cup set so much it has all but lost any meaning.On newspaper, the Corum Admiral’s Cup Chronograph Tourbillon 47 Seafender seems like a worthy idea. It has a bunch of interesting features and slick materials like the sum of its components could actually be tremendously provocative. Instead, we’ve got a watch built like a Cadillac that contrasts using an Abrams tanks. These worlds of aggressive luxury boating and luxury complications just don’t meld together properly in my eyes.Rather than partner a tourbillon using a GMT complication, this Seafender marries a tourbillon and a chronograph – again with a dial to get the date. Powering the opinion is your grade CO 398 automatic that is fairly nice. If you remember what I said about the first Corum Seafender view it was that the movement view looked better than the dial. The caliber CO 398 is infrequent, having an automatic for a tourbillon, and on top of that, it’s a tourbillon that operates in 4 Hz. The 60 minute chronograph is column-wheel established, along with the dial includes a wonderful window for the tourbillon (with a Corum key emblem on it). This dial is a whole lot more composed than the Seafender GMT, but that variant with the small round-cut diamonds actually in the sub dials simply doesn’t do it for me personally. Allow me to ask you, while I really do feel there is a location for diamonds on an Admiral’s Cup case (particularly baguette-cut ones)… are they really helping anyone by being on the dial just like that?
