Quick TakeThis Corum Admiral 42 isn't just a watch; it's a statement of maritime adventure strapped right to your wrist. Imagine the salty spray and the call of the open sea every time you glance at that brilliant sunray blue dial, where colorful nautical pennants don't just tell time, they whisper tales of regattas and far-off shores. With its robust 42mm stainless steel dodecagonal hull, it's built like a trusty vessel, ready to navigate the choppy waters of daily life or a weekend voyage, thanks to its 100-meter water resistance. The CO 395 automatic movement is the reliable engine beneath deck, purring along at 28,800 vibrations per hour, keeping you on course with hours, minutes, a jaunty small seconds, and a date window for charting your days. The dauphine hands, sharp and luminous, cut through the darkness like a lighthouse beam. Secured with a tough blue vulcanized rubber strap, it’s as comfortable as it is commanding. This Admiral is for the soul who appreciates precision engineering but dreams of the horizon.

DescriptionThe Corum Admiral 42, reference A395/04246 - 395.110.20/F373 AB52, is a meticulously engineered timepiece, distinguished by its dodecagonal stainless steel case structure which measures a precise 42 millimeters in diameter and possesses a relatively slender profile with a thickness of 10.30 millimeters. This specific geometry contributes to its unique visual identity and ergonomic wearability. The case construction ensures substantial protection for the internal mechanisms, achieving a water resistance rating of 100 meters, equivalent to 10 atmospheres, rendering it suitable for recreational swimming and surface water activities but not for deep-sea diving. The dial, fabricated from brass, presents a captivating sunray blue finish, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow across its surface. A defining characteristic of the Admiral collection is prominently displayed through the hour markers: twelve rhodium-plated appliques in the form of vibrant nautical pennants, each corresponding to the International Code of Signals for numerical representation, adding a layer of thematic complexity and visual appeal. The hands are of the Dauphine style, rhodium-coated for enhanced reflectivity and corrosion resistance, and feature a faceted, skeletonized design. For optimal legibility in low-light conditions, these hands are treated with white SuperLumiNova, a photoluminescent material. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, known for its exceptional scratch resistance, likely with an anti-reflective coating to improve clarity.

Powering this instrument is the caliber CO 395, an automatic winding mechanical movement, signifying that the mainspring is wound by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. This movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hertz, which translates to 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), a standard for modern mechanical watches that contributes to its accuracy and the smooth sweep of the seconds hand. The CO 395 has a dimensional characteristic noted as 11 ’’’ (eleven and a half lignes), indicating its diameter. It is built with 27 jewels, which serve as low-friction bearings for the gears and other moving parts, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of the movement. The power reserve, when the watch is fully wound, is approximately 42 hours, allowing it to maintain operation for nearly two days off the wrist. The functional capabilities of this caliber include the display of hours, minutes, a small seconds sub-dial typically positioned at the 6 o'clock mark (though its exact position on this reference requires visual confirmation or more detailed schematics, the image confirms this placement with "45-15" and "30" markings), and a date complication, usually displayed through an aperture on the dial, seen at the 3 o'clock position on the provided image. The integration of these functions within such a refined case highlights a commitment to both aesthetic elegance and horological utility. The connection to the wrist is facilitated by a blue vulcanized rubber strap, chosen for its durability, comfort, and resistance to environmental factors, with an interhorn width of 21mm tapering to 18mm at the buckle. This strap is secured by a stainless steel triple-blade folding clasp, providing a secure and streamlined closure.
