About the Admiral’s Cup Legend 42
Stylish new vessels are joining the fleet of Corum’s emblematic Admiral collection. These steel-built models of virile elegance fly their colourful nautical flags against a blue, white or black background. With their immediately recognizable twelve-sided bezel, the newcomers to the Admiral Legend 42 flotilla display their multi-coloured insignia in a range of maritime tones. The 42-mm twelve-sided case in steel or steel and rose gold sets a course for elegance, with a blue or white dial on the automatic version, blue or black on the chronograph, and broad luminescent hands sweeping over it. In 1960, Corum’s Admiral line dropped anchor in a sea of technical and aesthetic refinement. The flagship of the House, this contemporary collection with the iconic distinguishing features that mark its sporty appearance, reflects Corum’s passion for the sea. Four new representatives – automatic and chronograph versions – have now come aboard this legendary ship.
Cruising off the seaboard of elegance, the two Admiral Legend 42 models fly the flags of their indexes against a white or ultramarine mainsail. The back of the steel case, which is water-resistant to 50 metres, gives a view of the automatic movement with its engraved rotor. Oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of 42 hours, the functions of the calibre CO 395 comprise hour, minute, small second and date display.
