Corum - The Admiral Legend in three sizes
Featuring three hands and date, a chronograph or a small seconds, the new Legend pieces are expanding the horizons of the Admiral collection. These models come with a satin, steel or vulcanised rubber bracelet and are available in 32 mm, 38 mm or 42 mm sizes.
Their common feature: new, entirely natural dials produced from teak or mother-of-pearl. “It was an obvious choice given the watches’ nautical inspiration. Mother-of-pearl is a natural material that is only produced at the bottom of the ocean. Meanwhile wood is the ultimate symbol of sailing,” explains Jérôme Biard, CEO.

The new Legend pieces stay true to the Admiral spirit with a dodecagonal bezel, dauphine hands, an automatic calibre, 12 pennant-shaped hour markers and an open screw-down case back. Every single one of the mother-of-pearl models (32 mm and 38 mm) presents a slightly different dial composition, as this natural material is unique by nature. Each piece is hand-assembled to form lively designs where the dial endlessly plays with the light, shifting from shades of blue to green and then to grey.

Meanwhile the two new Admiral Legend 42 models both have a wooden dial. The first variation pairs a blue rubber bezel with a blue teak dial, a direct reference to the teak decks of old sailing ships. This model presents two central hands with a small seconds at 6 o’clock and a date at 3 o’clock.

The second, more precious reference brings together a brown teak dial with a 5N pink gold bezel placed on top of a steel case. On this piece, the date has been shifted to 4:30 to make room for a chronograph bi-compax (30-min counter at 9 o’clock and hour counter at 6 o’clock).
