Corum Admiral Automatic 42 Full Black watches with a bright burst of color.
Anyone familiar with Corum, the brand whose logo is a key, is familiar with the legendary Admiral collection of watches. In fact, many a sailor and lover of all things nautical also is well aware of the 12-sided case with nautical pennants on the dial to mark the time. It was in 1963 that the Swiss brand released its first-ever Admiral’s Cup yachting watch — at that time with a square case. It was the brand’s first water resistant square case. Since then, that classic piece has evolved and today we know it as it exists today — with a dodecagonal bezel and case. However, for a cutting-edge appeal, Corum updates the Admiral — giving it a stealth black case, strap and dial — with a punch of color.
