DescriptionThe mechanical heart of this Admiral 42 timepiece is the CO 395 automatic caliber, a self-winding movement meticulously engineered for precision and reliability. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, which translates to 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement ensures accurate timekeeping, with the balance wheel oscillating rapidly to minimize the effects of external disturbances. The caliber, measuring 11 lignes in diameter, incorporates between 27 and 31 rubies depending on the specific execution; these synthetic jewels serve as low-friction bearings for the gears and other moving parts, significantly enhancing the movement's longevity and consistent performance. A power reserve of 42 hours allows the watch to maintain its function for nearly two days off the wrist without requiring winding. The essential functions provided include the display of hours and minutes via central hands, a distinct small seconds sub-dial for granular time tracking, and a practical date complication, ensuring comprehensive time-telling capabilities for the wearer. The automatic winding mechanism harnesses the kinetic energy from the wearer's wrist movements, continually replenishing the mainspring's tension.
Constructed with a contemporary 42 mm diameter and a relatively slim profile of 10.30 mm in thickness, the case of this Admiral model is fashioned from high-tech black ceramic. This material is selected for its exceptional scratch resistance, light weight, and enduring color that will not fade over time, contributing to the watch's sophisticated yet robust character. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters or 5 atmospheres, offering protection against incidental water exposure such as splashes or rain. The dial, crafted from brass, features a captivating sunray black finish complemented by a luminescent ‘Corum’ pattern, enhancing visual depth and brand identity. Legibility in low-light conditions is ensured by the Dauphine-style hands, which are black-gold, faceted, skeletonized, and treated with White SuperLumiNova. A defining feature of the Admiral collection, the hour markers are represented by black-gold appliques displaying 12 distinctive nautical pennants, each corresponding to the International Code of Signals for numerals. This limited edition piece, one of only 50, is secured to the wrist with a black nylon Nato strap, measuring 21 mm at the interhorn, tapering to 18 mm, and fastened with a stainless steel pin buckle that has undergone a black PVD treatment for a cohesive aesthetic and enhanced durability.
