Notes
For half a century the Admiral’s Cup collection has paid tribute to marine and sea enthusiasts. To celebrate this legendary model’s fiftieth anniversary,
Corum has chosen to associate this eminently sporty watch with an exceptional movement combining two of the most prestigious horological
complications: the Tourbillon and the minute repeater.
For such a sporty model it was indeed too risky to have the minute repeater’s push-piece extending out which might get caught and potentially damage
the mechanism. In order to offer water resistance, The Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon has therefore been manufactured with a specific bezel
that activated the minute repeater function by rotating the bezel clockwise
