CORUM – Admiral’s Cup LEGEND 47 Worldtimer Edition




















CORUMAdmiral’s Cup LEGEND 47 Worldtimer Limited Edition NEW

Admiral’s Cup Legend 47 Worldtimer
An ocean voyage

Since 1960, the powerful allure and technical performance of Corum's symbolic Admiral's Cup collection has encapsulated the historic link between the Swiss watch making brand and sailing. In 2016, this sporting icon is enhanced with a complication preferred by the long distance traveler: World-Time. Powerful and elegant, the new Admiral's Cup Legend 47 Worldtimer is equipped with an automatic caliber which, apart from the hours, minutes and seconds, displays a second time zone and the corresponding city. Its strong case, 47 mm in diameter and mounted with a distinctive twelve-sided bezel, is available in titanium or titanium and rose gold, while the painted black dial, which also comes in smoked sapphire crystal in the bi-color version, comes to life with large luminescent hands and the famous nautical pennants, for optimal readability anywhere in the world.


Created almost 60 years ago, the Admiral's Cup range has become a veritable cornerstone
of Corum. Its strong aesthetic and emblematic conventions express an elegant yet sporty
personality, born of the brand's passion for the sea and for yachting. The distinctive twelve-
sided case and the colourful nautical pennants which adorn the dial create a strong,
contemporary look, which is a signature of the collection. A fresh arrival to this iconic family,
the Admiral's Cup Legend 47 Worldtimer, with its world-time function, is the ideal companion
for navigators and long distance travellers.

Distant horizons

The ultimate traveler's watch, the Admiral's Cup Legend 47 Worldtimer is available in two
models vying for the top spot for their style and technical prowess. Its robust case, 47 mm in
diameter, waterproof to 100 metres, is worked from titanium in the first model, while the bi-
colour version marries the metallic brilliance of this ultra-light material with the warmth of rose
gold on the twelve-sided bezel. The case is structured with layers opening onto a matte black
dial punctuated by pennant markers, luminescent Dauphine hands and a skeleton second
hand providing perfect visibility in all circumstances. The bi-color model features a smoked
sapphire crystal dial, which provides a glimpse of the working parts of its mechanical heart.

World time

In perfect contrast, the open bottom of the dial is equipped with smoked sapphire crystal
engraved with the names of cities in 24 time zones as well as their abbreviations. As a result
one can admire the CO376 calibre, its bars echoing a dodecagon and its openwork
oscillating weight. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, for a power-reserve
of 48 hours, this automatically-winding watch includes functions for the hour, minute, and
second, as well as a second time zone and city indicators. Selecting the time zone is
particularly easy, via the crown situated at 2 o'clock pressing on the pusher at 2 o'clock
allows the hour hand to jump forward.

A black vulcanized rubber strap featuring a tri-fold clasp adds the finishing touch to the
technical and distinguished elegance of these two models with hints of adventure and
escape.

CASIO – OCEANUS OCW-G1100S Limited Edition















CASIO OCEANUS OCW-G1100S Limited Edition NEW

Casio to Release New OCEANUS Watch with Mysterious Appeal
Inspired by the Exosphere between Earth’s Atmosphere and Outer Space
Receives GPS and Radio Time-Calibration Signals

Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today that it will release the OCW-G1100S, a new addition to the OCEANUS line of metal watches designed to capture the essence of elegance and technology. The new watch features solar and GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technologies and is inspired by the mysterious beauty of the exosphere, the space between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. A limited edition of 200 watches will be released worldwide.

OCEANUS is a line of solar-powered titanium metal watches offering sophisticated design and advanced functionality. The OCW-G1000 and OCW-G1100 are both equipped with GPS and standard time signal reception technology. This feature gives users the correct local time wherever they go.

Based on the OCW-G1100, the new OCW-G1100S represents a further evolution of OCEANUS blue. The design motif captures the deep blue mystery of the exosphere as it transitions into the blackness of outer space.

The right side of the two-color molded ceramic bezel, which indicates time zones ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), is accented in blue, while the left side, indicating time zones behind UTC, is rendered in black. The gradation of color in the dial evokes the transition from the planet to the exosphere. The indicator in the two o'clock position represents stars shining through the exosphere, and is realized using recrystallized blue sapphires and natural diamonds. Furthermore, the 12 o'clock index marker features a large recrystallized blue sapphire, evoking a satellite motif. In addition to a natural diamond set on the second hand axis in the center of the dial, the watch case and band feature a DLC coating, giving the new model the scratch-resistance needed to maintain the beauty of the watch for a long time.

The new OCW-G1100S is packed with advanced technology, too. It not only includes solar and GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technologies, but also comes with a Dual Coil Motor, which enables the watch hands in the inset dial at the 6 o’clock position to move at high speed both clockwise and counter clockwise. As a result, the time shown in the dial can change quickly whenever world time functions are used. Moreover, the speed of the moving hands is regulated for an interesting effect, adding to the pleasure of wearing this watch. This premium watch, produced using the sophisticated manufacturing technologies of Casio Yamagata Factory in Japan, combines a luxurious look with high functionality and practicality.
