The newest crop of neo-vintage watches destined for action and adventure, taking their place under the sun and traversing the realms of sea, land and air.

Though the first Admiral&rsquo;s Cup model from the 1960s bore an&nbsp;unusual water-resistant square case for a yachting watch,&nbsp;the current Corum Admiral collection actually evolved from a 1983&nbsp;redesigned model with a 12-sided case and nautical pennants&nbsp;on the dial.

Now, this nautical-inspired timepiece dedicated&nbsp;to the famed regatta has become integral to the Corum&nbsp;universe. Its most distinctive&nbsp;feature&nbsp;is, of course, the 12 nautical&nbsp;pennants-cum-hour markers; fun fact: these flags parallel&nbsp;the International Code of Signals using coloured flags in the&nbsp;indication of numbers.

Breaking away from its chromatic predecessors, the latest&nbsp;Admiral 42 Automatic Full Black has emerged with a mysterious&nbsp;and sporty &ldquo;dark knight&rdquo; vibe, featuring a black PVD-treated&nbsp;stainless steel dodecagonal case, paired with blackened&nbsp;brass dial.

The nautical pennants and minute markers are&nbsp;presented in greyscale tones to contrast against the austere&nbsp;all-black aesthetic and vivid, eye-catching hour markers flags&nbsp;in a choice of blue, red, yellow, green and orange for each&nbsp;of the five renditions. The watch is the result of subverting&nbsp;the classical codes of both traditional watchmaking and the&nbsp;Admiral collection&mdash;a decision that has proven fruitful in our&nbsp;eyes.

To complete the watch details are skeletonised and&nbsp;PVD-treated Dauphin\e-style hour and minute hands with&nbsp;coloured Super-LumiNova&reg; for excellent legibility; vulcanised&nbsp;black rubber straps with a black PVD-treated buckle; and the&nbsp;automatic CO 395 movement with 42-hour power reserve and&nbsp;50 m water-resistance. Those looking to snag one would need&nbsp;to act fast for this 100-piece limited edition.
