Corum debuted the Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Chronograph back 2013 as a new line within its iconic Admiral’s Cup collection. Even less”quirky” and more contemporary in design, the AC-One 45 has since seen some more fancy versions, all which seem to shout out,”This isn’t your Grandfather’s Corum Replica watches golden bridge round for women.” Now in 2019, the newest is releasing its most recent iteration with a slightly different name. The brand new Corum Admiral AC-One 45 Chronograph set is an exceptionally refreshed luxury sports watch lineup which doesn’t abandon its identity DNA, while recognizing people’s tastes have evolved, and moves together with the times.
The Corum Admiral’s Cup watch has been around since 1960, as it was released as the first square-shaped water-resistant view. The Admiral’s Cup remained a square watch until the early 1980s, when Corum Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 Chrono watch replica made the first significant change to the design of the Admiral’s Cup by creating the now readily identifiable dodecagonal case form. The watch would go on to outlive the eponymous Admiral’s Cup yachting regatta, which finished in 2003. The Corum Admiral’s Cup watches produced from roughly 1983 all the way to 2006 would share this case shape. In 2006, Corum modernized the watch using a larger case and more of an overall”sports watch” design, together with the first AC-One 45 Chronograph coming seven years following that.
The dodecagonal twelve-sided “Admiral case” still defines the watch, which is now leaning even harder into the crowded, competitive, and diverse segment that can best be described as boldly designed luxury sports watches that prefer a strap to a bracelet and can boast high water resistance. It’s obvious to anyone that pieces like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore and Hublot Big Bang absolutely dominate the segment. However, with the AC-One 45 Chronograph being about a third the cost of the chronograph versions of these two, the competitive landscape is friendlier territory for Corum. The brand is pricing these 300-meter water-resistant luxury chronographs right at the sweet spot: $9,900 in titanium and $18,000 in gold.
