With a design that’s both pleasing to the eye and decent on the wrist, this limited edition Admiral’s Cup Black Challenge 753.691.98/F371 AN12 delivers a unique versatility through a stark black profile. It offers a bold version of a celebrated design, featuring complementing nautical pennants – the most recognisable signature of the collection – and a bevy of refined elements.

Corum took care to integrate all the recognisable details of the Admiral in this reference and a notable 44 mm size. The case, worked up in black PVD-coated steel, is appropriately thick with a 17.5 mm height. The structure of the lugs and the placement of the crown and pushers create a pleasing geometry. The subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock as well as the date window between 4 and 5 o’clock elevate functionality. Finally, the seconds hand with the brand insignia and the hallmarks on the front face tie the design together.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
