Corum Admiral's Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45

For fifty years the Admiral’s Cup collection has paid tribute to marine and sea enthusiasts. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Corum has chosen to combine two complications together: the tourbillon and the minute repeater.

Corum is also celebrating by including a new caliber: the CO-010. It has 29 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph and has a power reserve of 72 hours. Silicium is used for the tourbillon escapement and pallets and it features a special Corum high-end finish and Cotes de Geneva finish on the button bridges. The 18kt rose gold case measures 45mm with 22mm lugs. The crystal is sapphire with AR-coating. It is water resistant up to 30 meters.

This jubilee model has a bezel containing a hidden winding function. For a sporting model, to have the minute repeater’s push-piece extend out was notably risky for it might get caught and potentially damage the mechanism. For this, a specific bezel was constructed the winds the minute repeater function by rotating the bezel 27 degrees clockwise.

Limited Edition of 10 Pieces per year
