Corum creates special-edition watches

Corum's iconic Admiral's Cup watch, with its instantly recognizable twelve-sided case and corresponding nautical pennants around the dial, has been committed to the pursuit of sailing since its inception in 1960, four years right after the brand was founded. Corum has a lengthy historical past of serving as the sponsor of major sailing competitions and prestigious sailors, like the Bol d'Or Mirabaud, Bosphorus Cup and Newport Regatta.

Corum creates special-edition watches tied to each and every of its sponsorships, the most recent of which can be the special-edition Admiral's Cup Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT, a multi-complication version that honors its sponsorship of the Newport Regatta, a five-day race held in June at Newport Bay, Rhode Island, the web site with the initial America's Cup occasion in 1870. Corum this year presented a trophy to John Williams, the captain in the winning group in the boat Ranger, in addition to a timepiece, a Corum Tide watch.

The Newport Regatta is a race of uncommon J Class yachts. They are big, 12-meter sailing yachts with ten,000 square feet of sail that call for an knowledge crew of thirty to sail. They had been originally designed inside the 1930s, in Britain, and represent the elite of boats, employed to compete within the original America's Cup and as such should conform to a strict set of rules dictating the dimension of sails, number of winches and so forth.

The Admiral's Cup Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT is extra-light, due to a situation, bezel and crown protector made of aluminum 7075, protected with an electroplasm finish that supplies wearability along with a greyish-black colour.

The movement includes a large tourbillon (with Corum's signature essential motif around the cage) that is visible by way of the case front and back. An simple to press pusher at four o'clock adjusts the second time zone. The dial is textured to give it a much more high-end feel.

Corum CEO Antonio Calce demonstrated the brand's seriousness about sailing sponsorships just lately by hiring Loick Peyron, a seasoned sailor, with forty-three transatlantic crossings and two round-the-world races to his credit, as advisor for every one of the brand's sailing sponsorship projects.
