Admiral Cup (982.633.30)

The Corum Admiral’s Cup Chronometer stands out for its distinctive maritime design inspired by famous yacht racing, featuring a bold 12-sided case and nautical flag motifs that reflect real sailing signal flags, giving it a standout sporty and sea-inspired look.

The watch has a distinctive dodecagonal case that makes it stand out from round watches, often measuring around 44 mm across in stainless steel with a matching steel bracelet that feels solid and sporty. Its white (or silver) dial typically includes clean hands and markers, topped by a sapphire crystal that resists scratches and keeps glare low. The design often draws on nautical themes, though this specific reference keeps things classic with clear indexing and simple date display.

Under the hood, this Admiral’s Cup model runs on a Swiss automatic movement, frequently an ETA-based caliber known for steady timekeeping and everyday use. The movement winds itself as you wear it and drives basic functions like hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Though specific power reserve figures aren’t always published for this reference, similar Corum automatics often offer around 40 + hours of reserve.

The Admiral’s Cup line began in the 1960s and gained iconic status in the 1980s with its twelve-sided case and nautical flag markers inspired by the famous sailing race. The design celebrates Corum’s long connection to the sea and yacht racing, and the collection has stayed popular for its bold look and maritime flair.

The watch appears in very good condition overall. The case and bracelet show light surface marks consistent with careful wear. The crystal looks clean and clear, while the dial, hands, and case back remain well preserved.
