This 73rd edition (17 – 18 – 19 June) will be particularly eventful for the watch company, which is introducing a model dedicated to the regatta, reinforcing its support for the Okalys-Corum team, as well as bringing together its two ambassadors. For the second consecutive year, Corum is associating its name with the world’s largest closed-water regatta as the Presenting Sponsor of the Bol d’Or Mirabaud. To celebrate the partnership with the Bol d’Or Mirabaud presented by Corum Swiss Watches, the watch brand is presenting an exclusive timepiece proudly bearing the event colors: the Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Chrono Bol d’Or Mirabaud. The winners of the Bol d’Or and the Bol de Vermeil will be presented with one of these 30-piece limited edition watches.

Corum’s enduring attachment to the maritime world is naturally expressed through another year featuring a wealth of sailing partnerships. The watch company has signed up to be part of events such as the Bosphorus Cup in Turkey, the RSYC Regatta in Singapore, and as Presenting Sponsor of the not-to-be-missed Bol d’Or Mirabaud in Lake Léman, Switzerland. Each year, the latter attracts over 500 boats, which will be vying with each other to win the golden cup – and the Corum Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Chrono Bol d’Or Mirabaud specially created by the brand in honour of this partnership. One of these 30-piece limited-edition watches bearing the blue and gold race colors will be presented to the winner of the Bol d’Or, and another to the Bol de Vermeil winner.
Equipped with the star complication for sports watches, the chronograph function, the Bol d’Or model features a generously sized 48 mm blue case. The model is distinguished by a twelvesided bezel in the same shade, along with the nautical pennants that are a signature feature of the Admiral’s Cup collection. The dial, richly adorned with a Clous de Paris hobnail motif and applied gold hour-markers, is enhanced by gold hands. The watch as a whole gives subtle pride of place to the blue and golden colors of the Bol d’Or Mirabaud presented by Corum.
