The Quintessential Nautical-Chic Timepiece

The very first Admiral watch was unveiled by Corum in 1960, only five years after the brand’s creation. It embodied Corum’s idea of maritime watchmaking and was the industry’s first square-shaped water-resistant watch.

One of the most identifiable characteristics of an Admiral timepiece is its iconic dodecagonal-shaped case that is modern and instantly recognisable. Another is its use of 12 nautical pennants as hour markers. These flags conform to the International Code of Signals for indicating numbers, so each hour is represented by its corresponding pennant.

The Admiral 42 collection proposed a family of elegant timepieces with a more modern and refined silhouette. The resulting 42-mm diameter variations, with a slimmer case diameter, has become one of Corum's bestselling models over the recent years.
