I think Corum Watches Roulette Replica hit on a great idea with these limited edition Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44 watches. The basic idea is simple, to create bold, friendly looking versions of the Admiral’s Cup watch, just do it in as much brightly colored rubber as you can. These watches are each two toned and very enjoyable to wear. The steel cases are rubber coated, the strap is rubber, and the bezel is in rubber. Another key element in the design is that they are just two tones with really good contrast. It is like a toy-version of a high-end watch… but certainly not a toy.
We actually debuted the Seafender versions of the Admiral’s Cup watches when the Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT premiered in 2011. In 47mm wide, Corum decided it was fitting at the yacht watch collection to make an aluminum-cased tourbillon. There was also an 18k red gold version. While those Seafender Tourbillons are admittedly intriguing, I just find no business putting them inside of Admiral’s Cup-style instances. The above model with diamonds has one of the strangest personalities I’ve seen all year. It isn’t an issue of good or bad even though it is not for me, it’s more a thing than it spins the DNA of the Admiral’s Cup set so much it has all but lost some meaning.On paper, the Corum Admiral’s Cup Chronograph Tourbillon 47 Seafender sounds like a worthy thought. It’s a lot of interesting features and slick materials like the sum of its components could actually be highly provocative. Instead, we’ve got a watch built like a Cadillac that mated with an Abrams tanks. These worlds of competitive luxury boating and luxury complications simply don’t meld together correctly in my eyes.Rather than mate a tourbillon with a GMT complication, this Seafender marries a tourbillon and a chronograph – back with a dial to get the date. Powering the opinion is the grade CO 398 automatic that’s fairly nice. If you remember what I said about the initial Corum Seafender watch it had been that the movement perspective looked better than the dial. The grade CO 398 is rare, having an automatic to get a tourbillon, and on top of that, it’s a tourbillon that operates at 4 Hz. The 60 second chronograph is column-wheel established, along with the dial includes a nice window to the tourbillon (using a Corum key emblem on it). This dial is much more written than the Seafender GMT, but that variant with the tiny round-cut diamonds really in the sub dials simply does not do it for me. Let me ask you, although I really do feel that there’s a place for diamonds within an Admiral’s Cup case (especially baguette-cut ones)… are they really helping anybody by being on the dial like that?
The watches are available as limited edition pieces. If all goes well, Corum plans on making new colors available each year. For 2011 the available limited edition pieces are in red, blue, and white. Little nod to the US flag? Maybe! Each of the watches will be limited to just 100 pieces.
The watch case is mostly rubber (obviously metal underneath) and 44mm wide. The crown and crown guard are coated in vulcanized rubber. The most non-slip watch ever! The style of the watch really fits the twelve-sided Admiral’s Cup case well. The dials are typical Admiral’s Cup, and as legible and eye-pleasing as ever. I like that Corum resisted the urge to include an additional color on the dial.
Inside the watch is a corum COSC Chronometer certified CO753 automatic chronograph movement. You can see it through the display caseback with a matching colored automatic rotor – that was a nice touch. My favorite piece is the red one. Obviously this is Corum Watches For Ladies Replica playing around with the Admiral’s Cup line which is their now iconic sport watch. You can see these as fashion pieces, but I see them more as just playful watches. When you don’t want to be super serious about luxury. The fact that they are limited editions means that Corum doesn’t want to go overboard with the concept, but wants to give buyers who find these appealing a chance to skew their typical perception of the Admiral’s Cup timepiece. Price for each is $8,150.
