Catalogue Essay
Corum’s Admiral’s Cup 44 Tides Regatta wristwatch celebrated the return of Corum as official timekeeper and Co-sponsor of the Admiral’s Cup yachting regatta in 2003. Organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, the offshore race began in 1957 as a biennial event with national teams of three boats each. During its heyday, the race featured 19 countries, and while the last official race was held in 2003, many country trials, like the Sydney to Hobart Race remain today.

The 44 Tides Regatta timepieces was produced in a limited number of 250 examples and provided the best of yacht timing technology. In addition to time and date, the dial featured moon phases with strength of tides subsidiary dial, height of tide with strength of current dial, and a time of tides with 24-hour indication. The classic and instantly recognisable dodecagonal-shaped watch featured a bezel set with marine pendants indicating the time, along with a pink gold and rubber insert Corum bracelet.

The present watch is very well preserved and is complete with international warranty and presentation box.
