Featuring a 12-sided case and nautical pennants on the dial, the Corum Admirals Cup is easily one of the most distinctive timepieces on the market. Offered here we have the Corum Admirals Cup 44 Tides Regatta that was launched in 2003 to celebrate Corum’s return as the official timekeeper and Co-sponsor of the Admiral’s Cup yachting regatta in that same year. Launched as a limited edition of 250 pieces, the Admirals Cup 44 Tides Regatta features a litany of yachting complications such as a moon phases with strength of tides subdial, height of tide with strength of current dial, and a time of tides with a 24-hour indicator in addition to a date and marine pendants to indicate the time.
