Corum’s ambassador Didier Cuche, the ski champion who has now retired from competition, has lent his name to a mini-collection of twelve-sided Admiral’s Cup 44 Chrono Centro watches that now welcomes a feminine version. His most loyal fans will be delighted to learn that this 20-piece limited series comes with a snow-white rubber-clad case and strap, along with, silver-toned grey for the background of the highly personalised dial. The latter is adorned with a tone-on-tone stylised depiction of the champion’s face. A sprinkling of orange accents enliven the displays of this distinctive chronograph that measures the seconds as well as the minutes via central hands, without any additional counters. Like the two masculine models that preceded it, the resolutely sporty feminine model is water-resistant to 100 metres and equipped with mechanical self-winding Calibre CO960. Chronometer-certified by the COSC, it appears through a sapphire caseback that also features a metallised interpretation Didier Cuche’s face, along with his signature.
