The new Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Squelette is faithful to the brand’s usual avant-garde compositions.

At the heart of its grade 5 titanium case beats a high-precision (28,800 vph) mechanism: automatic Caliber CO 9000. For the first time, this movement with its 42-hour power reserve appears in an entirely openworked architecture that draws all eyes to explore the heart of its intricate gear trains with their resolutely contemporary finish.

Its power of attraction is further heightened by the absence of a dial, while a highly original transparent date disk bearing fully visible numerals lends an even more modern touch to the overall effect.

While their base is applied on an anthracite-colored dial, the Superluminova-enhanced hour-markers are extended to the point where they appear to be levitating around the rim of the date disk.
This play on contrasts and depth effects is accentuated by the galvanic-treated inner bezel ring, duly framed by the Admiral’s Cup iconic nautical pennants.

The generously sized 45 mm grade 5 titanium case with its layered construction is topped by its famous twelve-sided bezel, while black PVD inlays are strategically placed between the various elements to create a powerful effect.

While the titanium features alternating polished surfaces and satin-brushed side plates, the sapphire crystal bears the metallized Corum logo.
The equally transparent caseback offers its own perspective on the CO 9000 movement, and particularly on the finely openworked, Corum-personalized oscillating weight.

Alongside its distinctive style, the case also boasts impressive water resistance to 300 meters. An extremely elegant black crocodile strap fitted with a grade 5 titanium folding clasp bring the finishing touch to this new Admiral’s Cup.
