Corum replica Admiral 45 Chronograph: A Panda Dial Sports Chronograph in the Cold
To ask what is the most popular watch style nowadays, many people will first think of panda dial chronograph or sports watch. From the top luxury brands to the people-friendly brands, replica watches with these styles are all sought after.
If there is a product that has both panda plate and sports style at the same time, then under the superposition of double buffs. It will most likely become a popular choice. However, the Admiral 45 Chronograph launched by Kunlun in 2019 is based on these two popular elements.
Since its launch, not only has it not achieved the expected popularity. But people can even use “unpopular” to describe it. Today, let us see why this watch with double popular elements is difficult to become popular. Corum replica is widely known for its unique GOLEDEN BRIDGE series and has established itself in the watch industry.
The cross dimension of the brand is very large, ranging from the full-diamond watch with an 8-digit price to the electronic watch with a price of over 10,000 yuan. Among them, there are many top complications such as tourbillon. And minute repeater in the field of advanced watchmaking, and the Admiral is the representative series of Kunlun sports style.
The Admiral is a long-established series of Corum replica watches. Its first generation dates back to the 1960s and was the world’s first waterproof square watch. In 1983, Kunlun made a drastic upgrade to the series, changing the case from a square to a twelve-sided shape. Corresponding to the 12 international navigation flag hour markers on the dial. These elements continue to this day and form the basis for the design of the modern Admiral series.
Time came to 2013. The Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Chronograph released this year retained the dodecagonal case. And the international nautical flag hour markers, and the Corum watch also expanded the watch diameter to 45 mm. The huge crown and anti-slip texture, plus the screws embellished by the shoulder pads on both sides. Match the overall style of the watch. The three-dimensional decorative pattern called “Grenadier fendu” on the dial. Is similar to the “TAPISSERIE” pattern of the Royal Oak, which enriches the details of the dial. Unlike previous Admiral replica watches, it is more modern and sporty.
The new Admiral 45 Chronograph inherits the design essence of the 2013 Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 and adopts a more rounded bezel line. In addition, two titanium spacers are added between the bezel and the case. And the wearer can mix and match decorations of various materials and tones. replica watches uk
As a chronograph, the chronograph function keys are indispensable: the Kunlun watch subtly integrates the two square chronograph open. And reset buttons into the shoulder pads, reducing the feeling of fragmentation and making the watch more complete. However, the huge diameter of 45mm is not easy for everyone to control, which is one of the reasons why people ignore this product.
There is no need to say how classic the panda face is. The original intention of this design is to enhance the contrast, so that the wearer can intuitively see the value of each functional small dial. In addition to being practical, bold contrasting colors bring high appearance and high recognition.
The calendar display window of the watch is located at 4:30. In addition to the sub-dials, the Corum also uses the same black to decorate the indexes and rims, and draws a simplified nautical flag. However, unlike ordinary chronographs, the three functional small discs of the Admiral 45 Chronograph have them very compactly distributed, their edges even staggered together, and the visual center of gravity falls on the center of the dial. The reason for adopting such a design is actually closely related to the movement. Although the watch has many bright spots in appearance, the movement is the biggest regret of the whole watch.
It is true that the Kunlun Cal.CO 132 movement used in the watch is not a self-produced movement. It is based on ETA 2894-2, and the brand has made some modifications to it, such as replacing the automatic rotor from the common semicircle to a hollow design.
Fully covered and embedded with 4 decorative Phillips screws to show the collection. However, the core configuration of the escapement, hairspring and barrel has not been changed, and the movement still maintains a 42-hour power reserve. On the other hand, the diameter of the ETA 2894-2 is 28 mm, which limits the distribution of the various functional dials. If you want to put it into a case with a diameter of 45 mm, there must be a blank area on both sides of the dial, which is why the small functional dials are “squeezed” together. In this way, the dial layout is more like a compromise on the movement.
