This Admiral’s Cup Competition by Corum is a luxury sports watch that approaches watchmaking with a bold, contemporary, and dynamic sensibility. Using lightweight titanium, this reference 947.931.05/0371-AN32 takes a signature dodecagon shape. It features a rose gold bezel mounted on a 48mm case. Smaller lugs and the guards flanking the gold screw-down crown create a familiar appearance. But it’s the dial that makes this Admiral’s Cup instantly recognisable. Armed with the nautical pennants as the markers, the blue dial plays host to a day-date window at three and a seconds subdial at nine. The clear script and luminous hands on the dial help achieve absolute legibility.

The characteristic nautical pennant motif also finds a place on the rubber strap, which is a distinguishing element in its own right. The meticulous wave design on the inner side of the strap and the satin-finished, considerably large pin buckle fastening are the highlights of the strap in blue. ETA 7750, sans the chronograph elements, acts as the base for the chronometer-certified Corum calibre CO 947 that powers this reference. It provides a power reserve of 42 hours. Worth noting is the solid caseback that facilitates 300 metres of water resistance and is designed in a domed shape with sleek recess lines that allow heat and sweat to escape.

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.
