Buckingham

Description

WHY WE LOVE IT-Swiss brand Corum has always forged its own path. From its Romulus collection of Roman-inspired watches to its famed timepieces made out of gold coins, Corum’s wares are unique and eye-catching. Such is especially true of its shaped watches from the 1970s, a time when watch design – and industrial design in general – was going through radical changes in favor of bold shapes, bright colors, and fun accents. This particular Corum is a Buckingham model from the 1970s. With its rectangular case, integrated bracelet, and flat profile, it’s a striking piece of design that stands out in a sea of round, same-same dive and sport watches. Housed in a 32mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal and a sapphire cabochon crown, it features a sunburst grey dial with a matching ‘pencil’ handset and a date window at 6: 00. Paired to an integrated steel bracelet with a signed hidden deployant clasp and powered by an ultrathin, automatic movement, it’s a versatile piece that works well on both men’s and women’s wrists. Looking for a watch that’s slightly left-of-center? Look no further!OVERALL CONDITIONThe case is in fantastic condition overall showing light signs of wear from age and use. Sunburst grey dial with applied logo is in fantastic condition with matching ‘pencil’ handset. Sapphire cabochon crown.
