This Corum Bubble is one of the more conservative designs from this range, and therefore much easier to wear regularly. Model number 163.150.20
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
The Bubble range was launched by Corum at Baselworld in the year 2000. It was available in various different specifications for a few years, and we think this one is circa 2007.
CONDITION
Unusually, let’s start with deployant clasp! Much larger than usual, and befitting the larger than usual design of the case and crystal, the deployant is branded Corum on both sides, and has a centre dome to reflect the design of the crystal and the crown. This part of any watch does attract scratches, and this is no different, but is is probably the nicest deployant clasp we have seen. The sapphire crystal has anti reflective coating on the inside and outside, but that can only do so much given the extreme curve of the domed crystal. The watch crystal resembles that on the one found on the experimental Rolex deep sea special, although Corum make no claims that this watch is a divers watch. The strap is the part worn original Corum one, as the crown is also original. The quartz movement has quick set date, so is very easy to live with. The lume on the dial and hands is excellent. This is a very difficult watch to photograph from different angles, so the video is a real help.
