The Corum Admiral’s Cup is an iconic watch inspired by the Admiral’s Cup yacht race, which started in 1957. Introduced in 1960, Corum created the watch to honor the prestigious event, with a distinctive 12-sided (dodecagonal) case that represented the 12 nautical flags used in maritime communication.

The Admiral’s Cup features nautical flag markers for the hours, a durable, water-resistant design suited for yachting, and precise mechanical movements, often with chronograph functions. Over the years, Corum expanded the collection to include various models, such as the Admiral’s Cup Chronograph and Tourbillon, each evolving with new technologies and designs.

Today, the Admiral’s Cup remains a symbol of performance and luxury. Modern models, like the Admiral’s Cup AC One 45, feature contemporary updates like larger cases and advanced movements, maintaining its link to the maritime world while appealing to collectors and enthusiasts. The watch’s legacy continues to blend adventure, precision, and style.
