Corum Bubble watch

The Corum Bubble watch is a perfect representation of the creative design philosophy embraced by Corum. No one will ever mistake the Bubble for any other timepiece, and that's part of the great fun that owning this watch is all about.

The 45mm case of the Corum Bubble watch is crafted from stainless steel, which has been given a high-lustre polish that is both elegant and provocative; for the ultimate statement, Corum also produces this watch in a stunning version that is set with sparkling pave-set diamonds. The broad polished bezel frames the Bubble watch's most distinctive feature---the impressive, highly domed sapphire crystal. Reputedly inspired by the crystal design from an experimental deep-sea diving watch from the 1960's, the Bubble watch's crystal produces a fascinating range of visual effects depending upon the light that strikes it, or the angle in which it is seen. This unusual range of visual effects is enhanced by the bold black or white dials that Corum has chosen for this watch, which are decorated with expressive, highly polished Arabic numerals in an appropriately "bubbly" font at 12, 3, 6, and 9, and large circular luminous hour markers in between.

The Corum Bubble watch is complemented perfectly by a thick crocodile strap which tapers elegantly to its deployant clasp which is completed by a push-button release mechanism. Each Corum Bubble watch is animated by either a selfwinding Swiss ETA movement, or a Swiss quartz movement, both of which provide central seconds indication, and a rapidly adjustable date display. The distinctive, globe-like crown, decorated with a rubber element, screws down against the case, and helps ensure that the Bubble watch remains water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters.
