Ulysse Nardin El Toro Watch

No one says luxury watch designs have to be conservative, but there’s a fine line between what’s edgy and what’s too hard. Often, luxury timepieces that try too hard to break the mold also undermine their appeal. Introducing cutting-edge design concepts in an industry with so many traditions can be quite difficult.

For many brands, modern means the future — a path that could easily lead to design irrelevance in just a few short years. However, Ulysse Nardin cheap takes an approach that stands out from the status quo, with models that are both modern and technical in appearance.

With the Ulysse Nardin El Toro, they may have just created a look that doesn’t appeal to all connoisseurs, but whose technical design is so advanced that it will still feel fresh from now on. The key seems to be a fusion of classic and futuristic elements, while specifying a new way of indicating information on the dial. While the multi-colored, multi-layered surface of the El Toro watch may seem intimidating at first glance, it’s actually very useful, providing practical everyday information as well as the finer details that serious watch lovers demand. Self-winding Ulysse Nardin calibre UN-32 movement COSC certified (accuracy) with time, GMT time and perpetual calendar. As is often the case with Ulysse Nardin, the mere presence of these various complications is not enough;

For example, the second time zone function has a quick setting function, which can be adjusted by one hour by pressing the left and right ceramic buttons located on the underside of the case. This makes it incredibly easy to keep track of a second time zone, while the GMT hand in 24-hour format keeps track of your home or reference time. Those familiar with other GMT watches will appreciate the convenience of this feature. Check out the perpetual calendar and you’ll find easy-to-read windows (not subdials) showing important information. At the top is a large date indicator framed by a stylized window, while below the dial, the date, month and year windows on the T-shaped dial are located. Exposed on the dial are the discs that maintain these functions. Year indicators on perpetual calendars are already rare, but Ulysse Nardin opted for a more efficient two-digit year indicator here. There is also an auxiliary seconds sub-dial on the dial (cut in half to indicate the seconds with either side of the hand). Note the Cotes de Geneve stripe finish on the dial.

The case style (43mm wide) is borrowed from last year’s highly innovative Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck watch. The fun design is available in 18 karat rose gold or platinum. However, the bezel and buttons are made of smooth black ceramic, which is very durable. Considering legibility on such a wild dial, Ulysse Nardin opted for two very large skeletonized hour and minute hands with large lumen tips, sized to complement the hour markers at 12 and 6 o’clock. The dial and case design work together to create something truly innovative and attractive. This design is not of immediate interest and then dismissed, but one of enduring curiosity, drawn to the practicality of the watch that embodies it.

This Jacob & Co replica watch is a must-have for every collector


Swiss watch company Jacob & Co, one of the most prestigious companies in the world, a few years ago created one of the most irreverent and distinctive luxury watches on the market, inspired by astronomy and the gravitational movement of the Earth. An exclusive piece, part of a limited edition, so few lovers of sophistication and luxury can put this marvel on their wrist.

Jacob & Co is known for creating pieces to the strictest luxury standards, achieved through traditional craftsmanship. But they did bet on unique and different designs that knew how to set guidelines for new high-precision watchmaking. Astronomia Sky is the name of this limited edition piece. These are its main features:

This is a complicated watch with a 47mm case in rose gold. Its dial is made of titanium and is inspired by the sky and astronomy. Within its reach are the signs of the zodiac, as well as the stars we can observe from the northern hemisphere. All of this is hand-carved by master craftsmen at Jacob & Co. The sphere performs the same rotational motion that the Earth does around the sun. At the top of the sphere, an element placed in three dimensions, in which four different moons can be seen. The second hand is the first of these, and it performs orbital motion. The most luxurious and highest quality sapphire crystal forms the entire watch, forming a kind of dome from which to observe the magnificence of the stars and astronomy. The strap is made of alligator leather. https://www.review4uwatch.com/

Chopard – Alpine Eagle 41mm with Pine Green Dial

Chopard presented two new versions of the Alpine Eagle luxury sports watch featuring a turquoise dial with a texture reminiscent of an eagle’s iris.

The new dial colors are available in two case/bracelet options: stainless steel or Fairmined rose gold.

The steel used by Chopard is called Lucent Steel A223 and is the result of a remelting process which makes it highly skin compatible, more wear resistant and particularly reflective.

Regarding its rose gold, Chopard cheap guarantees that it comes from a cooperative whose operations are certified as ethical, fair and sustainable.

Featuring a one-piece case and bracelet with polished and matte finishes, the Alpine Eagle features a circular bezel dotted with eight screws, set in pairs at four cardinal points, their slots matching the circle of the bezel cut.

These screws also have a technical function that ensures the watch is water resistant to 100 meters / 330 feet. The standout feature of the 41mm x 9.7mm case is the protection of the large crown engraved with the compass rose.

The tapered Alpine Eagle bracelet consists of one ingot-shaped link topped with a polished center cap. A stainless steel triple folding clasp secures the fashion watch on the wrist.

Like the hour markers, the hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 for improved nighttime readability. Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 bph) and with a power reserve of 60 hours, the refined 01.01-C movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case back.

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

From warm old wisdom to innovation

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE 11.59 has been announced as a new collection since 1972, the Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta, known in the watch world as Picasso.
Announced in the last year of participating in the SIHH (Geneva Salon) and became a hot topic. The Royal Oak is a product that begins to lead the digital generation that has never owned Audemars Piguet, with the aim of imagining a whole new style.

The design was done by creative designer Claude Emmanege. He also designed the Royal Oak concept. We draw inspiration from the museum pieces that Audemars Piguet has produced since its founding in 1875 and incorporate it into our designs. Just warm up the old and learn the new.

CEO Francois-Henri Benamias has been working on building the next-generation model to replace the Royal Oak replica since taking over in 2013, so it won’t mature into a core model that points to the company’s future direction. is not it.

The letters “CODE” in the model name correspond one by one,
C Challenge = Challenge,
O Own = Inheritance,
D Dare = Pursuit,
E Evolve = Evolution,
Joining the initials of the word makes “CODE” I am.
The number 11.59 refers to 11:59 pm at the end of the day, just before the new day.

Picking up AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE1159, the first impression is that the octagonal middle shell, the surface structure is extremely complex, and the shape of the carpet has been carefully polished and finely satin-finished, which is a target. In addition, the anti-reflective sapphire crystal with a double curved surface specially developed for this series is unique and playful.

Audemars Piguet is well represented in appearance with the challenge of the Code 11.59 challenge.

Combining machines with the latest machining precision and hand-finished by skilled craftsmen, the beauty of the structure can be beautifully expressed, even if complex, which is a remarkable point of Audemars Piguet watchmaking.

Weaving the outer surface of the case with various expressions at various angles and roundness has become a huge challenge even for skilled professional craftsmen. Each finished part is manually tilted like a mirror, with a polisher that lowers the corners of the surface and smoothes the edges. The more skilled the craftsmen, the more rounded and softer the curves they draw. Details such as the screws on the carpet are also carefully polished. perfect replica watches

The difficulty with angled finishing is to work evenly without breaking the harmony. Polishing and chamfering of the interior and exterior surfaces of the carpet, as well as invisible areas such as the interior of the carpet welded to the frame, are testament to the company’s technical prowess.

The prestigious Audemars Piguet factory, run by the founding family and not part of the main capital, is a free and unique artist who is not bound by preconceived notions or rules. While inheriting traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship, hand-finishing technology takes the CODE 11.59 to a new level.

“To break the rules, you have to master them first.”

Master the mold. Break the mold.

In recent years, the casual shift in fashion has been accelerating over the past few years due to climate change. The 2020 pandemic has increased the amount of telecommuting, many companies are trying to continue doing so, and the range of styles allowed in business scenarios is expanding. The time I spend at home has increased and now it has changed not only the way I work, but also my work and personal values. It is a stylish watch that can be opened or closed in unprecedented fashion in the coming era in response to changes in demand that are different from those in the past. quality replica watches

Richard Mille releases an Emoji watch

The new RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon has us smiling.

Richard Mille definitely knows how to make a splash — and how to piss off purists. As if to symbolically represent its blissful status as a lucrative watchmaker, and to gently lure any furious haters about it, the latest RM is a joyous collaboration with licensing firm Smiley. It comes just in time for the 50th anniversary of the world’s most famous hieroglyph.

As early as 1963, a man named Harvey Ball designed this famous yellow smiley face. Founded by Franklin Loufrani, Smiley was licensed in 1972 and now owns the rights to the little guy in over 100 countries. Smiley has licensed deals and collaborations with Dior, Fendi, Reebok, Champion and countless others including now Richard Mille. A “50th anniversary celebration” of licensing agreements is a bit of a stretch, but let’s just go with the flow for now.

The gold smiley face is sure to steal the show on this watch, but there’s a lot of crazy stuff going on here and I’m not quite sure where to start. The new in-house automatic movement CRMT7, which took three years to develop, is mostly kept out of sight, or rather hidden behind small fluffy clouds. Unlike most skeletonized watches, the movement is not the main visual feature, so RM designed a new skeletonized movement that leaves plenty of room for all the tiny gold carvings allegedly made by engraver Olivier Kuhn, although I am sure they are made by the borrower. replica men watches

We have the sun. a cactus. An umbrella. a pineapple. One rainbow—actually, two rainbows. This can happen if you randomly mash up the emojis in the keyboard and then press them into the case.

This RM is 3D. It’s kind of like a very expensive grown up Polly pocket. Each “sculpture” is done by hand. Microsprayed pineapples have tiny green PVD ​​coated leaves. The cactus spines have been hand polished to remove the PVD coating. Locate a flamingo’s eye with the world’s smallest beading tool.

The figurines are placed on the base plate and secured using various types of attachments. They’re placed at an angle so that the person who owns the thing can see as much of the surface area as possible — and ensures that each component remains truly three-dimensional. The smiling face itself is mounted on a decorative rainbow-lacquered bridge, giving the impression that it floats above the movement like a benevolent celestial body smiling at the watchmaker’s work.

There is a small seconds hand with the sun on one end and the lightning bolt on the other, making one revolution around the cloud every minute, a function indicator at 3 o’clock showing the winding (W) and setting (H) position when the hands are pulled out of the crown . The power reserve is about 50 hours. Richard Mille copy

If we turn to the caseback, we can see a lightning bolt-shaped rear axle made of grade 5 titanium and a sun-shaped oscillating weight in 3N gold. All of this is housed inside an ATZ (aluminum toughened zirconia) white ceramic and red gold case. The Velcro fastening strap is a yellow woven fabric in the original Smiley Yellow.

“Sorry, I think my heart stopped” – the real words that came out of my mouth when the RM88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley was released a few weeks ago. Dramatic I know, but this is basically my dream watch. Colorful trinkets and golden smiley faces on the white ceramic case and yellow strap, the tourbillon is hidden behind the clouds. Am I dreaming? What acid clock hippie came up with this?

I love smiley faces. It’s played such a huge role in pop culture over the past five years, from the original “Have A Nice Day” slogan to LSD and Hacienda rave culture. Numerous changes have also gained cult status: Nirvana’s curved mouth and cross-eyed smiley face, Justin Bieber’s now Drew House logo, apparel from brands like Kapital and Market, and our much-loved iPhone emoji.

This iconic symbol has always been part of the zeitgeist. It’s never cool. Richard Mille made it even cooler.

I wish this watch was cheaper than a Miami house? certainly. Richard Mille watches are so youthful and playful that their extremely adult prices often seem like a hoax. Some of us would like to see a lower-priced spin-off, like Rolex from Tudor to RM, a secondary line if you will. Perhaps this is the key to making this imaginable adult fantasy world possible.

But as with many watches, the price is largely theoretical. As a wise man once said, ultra-expensive timepieces are seen as objects to be admired rather than owned.

Corum Golden Bridge Titan DLC

The replica Golden Bridge returns with no less than two new, modern exclusive editions, decked out entirely in black, presenting a powerful and modern new look to this iconic debut just four decades ago.

Fashion has changed, but the Golden Bridge is still there. Contradicting the trend since its creation in 1980, this unique piece has now been redesigned in the first of six architectural versions, with an original aesthetic. Further releases will gradually be announced over the next few months, but the first two have now been announced.

The ubiquitous black DLC treatment on its 43mm case, bezel and clasp forms the basis of the design. All these components stand out for their depth, contrasting with the rectangular movement, with white or rose gold reflections that attract all light.

“The founding principle of the Golden Bridge was to emphasize its rectangular movement. Since 1980, this watch has been designed to attract everyone’s attention”, explains the cheap Corum team. “These new editions are a perfect example. Titanium and DLC bring depth and modernity to the case, holding this legendary movement firmly within it, with strength and elegance.”

The baguette movement is as sculptural as ever, proving once again how versatile and modern it is. Here, it works with a specially developed structure by Corum that embodies the geometry of overlapping bridges, evoking the most stunning masterpieces of human genius, especially suspension bridges such as the Golden Gate or the Brooklyn Bridge. It is completely in tune with Corum’s art world, its roots in La Chaux-de-Fonds, its historical attachment to art and its ability to escape watchmaking norms. fake watch

The two versions, white and rose gold, can be seen on the movement, hands, flanges, crown and screws that maintain the structure on the sides of the rectangular movement. The rest of the covering is black. This is the first time Corum has given its golden bridge a black rubber bracelet, textured and engraved with the brand name.

Spirited, powerful, and resolutely supporting the power of its architecture, the Golden Bridge Titane DLC is destined for an audience of contemporary radical fine watchmaking collectors.

RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley: The mechanism of the smile

Smiles, universal and multivalent, are the foundation of our social interactions; expressing our innate desire to connect with others. Just like the little yellow face that appeared in the French newspaper “France Soir” in 1972, it quickly became popular, and the smiling face conveyed positive energy. It is the symbol of communication that comes to life today in the active world of the RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley.

This new self-made automatic tourbillon movement is highly technical and creative, and has been developed over three years. Each of its decorative elements is a joyous emanation of the smiley world: a blooming flower, warm sunshine, delicious pineapples, blooming cacti, pink flamingos and brightly colored rainbows. Sip festive cocktails drop by drop, as the wine glasses in the neon pop scene suggest.

The RM 88 Smiley has seen a series of technical and aesthetic challenges successfully overcome. The size and weight of the golden miniature sculptures created by engraver Olivier Kuhn required special care, as each assembled part weighing less than 1 gram had to be able to withstand a variety of shocks. It was then necessary to determine how to arrange the objects in three-dimensional space around the central theme “smiley”, not only to maximize their effect, but also to facilitate the watchmaker to insert them. The solution was to equip the RM 88 with two baseplates: one to support the movement and the other to hold the decoration on the left side of the dial.

The second challenge faced was the concept of an action that allowed enough free space to present the scene’s multiple protagonists to the best of their ability, matching the level of completion given to them. The new CRMT7 movement is a skeletonized automatic tourbillon movement with hours, minutes and functions, developed in-house. Its bridges and micro-blasted base plate are made of grade 5 titanium to ensure rigidity and flatness. The bridges of the explosive micro-blasted, beveled and pull-out tourbillon are finished with an intricate black and gold double PVD coating, which is also used on the bridges on the back of the baseplate, which accentuates its lightning bolt shape. Every minute, the symbolic small seconds alternate between rainy and sunny days. It slides over the ARCAP cloud fixed to the tourbillon, then hides beneath a small cloud of micro-blasted and satin-polished white gold. It reappears at the foot of a cheerful rainbow designed in four different types of gold. The rainbow itself has alternating micro-blasted and elongated finishes that represent 25 hours of craftsmanship.

A striking smiley figure in micro-blasted and painted gold, hosts this view from the top of a micro-blasted ARCAP® Extra Motion work bridge with polished corners and brushed edges. Featuring a larger iridescent pattern, the hand-applied varnish contrasts with the anthracite-coloured rhodium plating, which shimmers with faint reflections.

The Nautical Legacy of Ulysse Nardin

Introduction and History
Ulysse Nardin is one of the oldest watch brands in Switzerland. The Manufacture in Le Locle is known for its creative freedom and nautical heritage. Its flagship collections include Classico, Blast, Freak, Diver and Marine.

The company began its horological adventures in the mid-19th century as a manufacturer of marine timepieces. The visionary founder of the brand, Ulysse Nardin, was born in 1823. Passionate about the boundless seas and famous explorers, he established a watchmaking workshop in 1846 to produce nautical timekeeping instruments. In a short time, it began to supply high-precision marine chronometers to merchant ships and navies around the world. Watchmakers also dabble in other horological complications, such as pocket timers, minute repeaters, and more.

The quartz crisis (from the late 1970s to the early 1980s) was extremely challenging for traditional Swiss watchmakers. In 1983, Rolf Schnyder bought the company. With the generous help of the talented Swiss master watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin, he has revived the famous brand. His goal was to build a full-fledged manufacturer capable of producing in-house movements, dials and various other components associated with haute horlogerie.

In the mid-1990s, Ulysse Nardin launched the Marine Chronometer 1846, the brand’s first marine chronometer, inspired by the distinguished seafaring heritage of this illustrious company. The successful acquisition of Donzé Cadrans in 2011 was a strategic step. In 2012, the first self-made automatic movement was launched. As of now, it has a large inventory of mechanical movements, which are developed and produced entirely in-house.

The prestigious brand is also known for its extensive expertise in enamel dials and silicon technology. One of its notable innovations is the ulysse nardin freak watch with a 7-day turntable tourbillon and silicon components.

Currently, the brand offers various types of mechanical watches, including high-complication watches with complex mechanisms such as minute repeaters, perpetual calendars and tourbillons. In this article, we draw your attention to two core collections – Marine and Diver – that represent Ulysse Nardin’s enduring connection to the marine world.

Ulysse Nardin fake
The Marine collection is the purveyor of the iconic brand’s glorious nautical heritage. This collection dates back to the Swiss manufacturer’s rich history as a leading supplier of marine nautical instruments, supplied to more than fifty navies around the world.

This comprehensive ulysse nardin watch collection includes two subcategories: Marine and Marine Torpilleur.

Starting with the “Marine” collection, the brand offers chronographs, chronographs, annual calendar chronographs and tourbillon watches with 43mm cases. Regatta, Grand Deck and Mega Yacht models come with a 44mm diameter case.

In the “Marine Torpilleur” series, Ulysse Nardin has included 42mm and 44mm watches. Torpilleur is the French word for torpedo boat, introduced for naval warfare in the late 19th century. Torpilleur, Torpilleur Tourbillon and Torpilleur Moonphase models come with a 42mm case. The annual chronograph and military versions are both 44mm.

All of these chronometer instruments are equipped with an in-house movement with silicon technology, enhanced anti-magnetic properties, ensuring extreme precision. This best-selling collection is available in stainless steel, bronze, black DLC, 18 karat gold and platinum. These nautical watch models usually have grooved bezels.

Currently, the Marine wholesale fake Watch collection offers three dial colors: black, blue and white. The most notable dial details include the Roman numeral hour markers, the small seconds hand in the style of a nautical chronometer and the inscription of the brand’s founding year. The Marine Torpileur Military models use Arabic numerals instead of Roman hour markers. In this Swiss Army watch, the small seconds dial shows the serial number instead of 1846. Tourbillon models do not have the iconic small seconds.

With the exception of chronographs and some specific models (military, regatta and superyachts), all timepieces in the Marine collection feature a small power reserve indicator below the 12H marking. The limited edition Mega Yacht combines a flying tourbillon, moon phases, a tide indicator and a unique power reserve display mechanism inspired by anchors and windlasses.

Rolex Datejust 31 278274

Among the 2022 Rolex novelties presented at Watches and Wonders, one of the newest is the 31mm Rolex Datejust, available in 3 versions, featuring an attractive floral dial, unique colours and a very attractive and appealing look.

If last year Rolex introduced three 36mm Rolex Datejust with a special new leaf pattern dial, this year the smaller 31mm model features a new plant-centric dial that works well and subtle.

This 31mm trio contains three dial colours and over 25 different constructions, all in a sleek crossover style of the 31mm Datejust. Available in Silver Dial, Olive Green Dial and Vibrant Blue Azzurro Dial, available in different case, bracelet and bezel combinations, in Everose Gold and Oystersteel, White Gold and Stainless Steel, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, With smooth bezels, diamonds, domed and inlaid bezels, grooves, jubilee bracelets, oyster bracelets and more.

But what sets this colorful set of 31mm Datejust watches apart isn’t just the flower and metal combination, it’s also the center of each flower (often called a stamen), which is set with a small diamond. Each sphere has 24 diamonds of this type, creating a more interesting and subtle effect than when diamonds are used as hour markers.

Powered by the automatic movement Calibre 2236 developed by Rolex, beneath these imposing dials, these magnificent pieces feature a date display at 3 o’clock, beating at 4 Hz, offering a power reserve of 55 hours and a -2 to -2 precision. +2 seconds per day (all in a 20mm diameter movement). Prices for the simplest model ref start at 9,600 euros. 278274, models with blued steel dial, everose gold and diamond bezel up to 41,800.

Rolex’s professional collection aside, these very special floral dial styles are really fun and just as impactful as last year’s leaf dial, eye-catching and evoking the warmth and freshness of spring. It is precisely the time when these watches have flourished that have added a lot of glamour to the Small Diameter Datejust collection, where the luxury element is more prominent than ever. cheap watches for sale

Bridging the gap: Corum watch gold bridge circle

Following last year’s relaunch of the Bubble collection and further expansion of the collection this year, Corum is also introducing another reinterpretation of the familiar model, the Golden Bridge. First launched in 1980, the Golden Bridge has become an iconic timepiece due to its small, rectangular movement. It comes in many variants, but in 2016 Corum first introduced it to a round case. This is the Corum watch golden bridge round.

The Corum Golden Bridge is arguably the precursor to the current full sapphire case – you will. Industry legend Vincent Calabrese envisioned a case that would not be the coffin of the movement. Instead, he dreamed of having a case that served as a showcase for the mechanical engine that powered the watch. The first prototype of his linear built-in movement appeared in 1977. It is only fixed to the case at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, so it is almost suspended in the air. Vincent was introduced to Mr. René Bannward, the founder of Corum, through a mutual friend, the director of the International Watchmaking Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Mr. Bannward was so convinced of the possibilities of this new revolutionary movement that the first Kunlun Golden Bridge watch was introduced to the public in 1980. If you ask me, it took some courage to launch such an unusual watch in the midst of the Quartz Crisis, but it has simply become an iconic watch, not only in the Corum collection, but throughout watchmaking history.

Over the years, we’ve seen several iterations of this concept, with very classic gold or platinum tonneau cases, and very modern titanium versions with horizontally suspended movements. This new Corum watch Gold Bridal Circle is inspired by the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The suspension bridge spanned the Golden Gate Bridge connecting the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay Area and was commissioned in 1937. This engineering marvel of its time was probably the most iconic and photographed bridge in the world. This is mainly due to the bridge’s massive size, idyllic location and unique red paint used to cover the bridge and protect it from the elements. If you look at the construction of its road deck, you can clearly see the inspiration for the construction of girders like the Corum Golden Bridge Round. If you think about it, the name is almost doomed: Golden Gate and Golden Bridge. 1 plus 1 almost equals 2 stories, right?

The Corum Golden Bridge Round features not only a gold case, but also a movement partly made of 18ct gold. The main plates and bridges of the hand-wound rectangular C0113 movement are made of gold, as are the beams that adorn the movement. The design of the movement leaves little room for extra decoration, but the main plate and bridges feature some classic hand-engraving. The girders are brushed but not trimmed and have no polished interior corners, but somehow it doesn’t fit the gold door inspiration. The bridges don’t have any decorative polish, why should the girder of the watch do that? Around the movement and the girder, there is a beveled ring with simple applied hour markers, the brand name at 12 o’clock, and the Corum-key logo on either side.

The 43mm wide case is very comfortable to wear, although it is a little oversized and not a true classic. It’s pretty slim though, at less than 9mm thick, making it perfect for business attire. It features a sapphire crystal on the front and back and a sapphire case for maximum viewing of the C0113 movement and girder. The lugs on the 6 o’clock side of the case are slightly elongated to make room for the crown to be manipulated. The Corum Golden Bridge Round buy replicas watch is worn on a soft brown alligator leather strap with a delicate butterfly folding clasp with the Corum logo.

SOME SPECIFICATIONS OF THE CORUM GOLDEN BRIDGE ROUND:

Case:43mm x 8.8mm, 5N 18K rose gold, sapphire front, back and caseband, water resistance 30 meters, crown at 6 o’clock.

Movement: Calibre C0113, hand-wound, 28,800 vph 40 hours power reserve, hour and minutes
