One would normally associate Corum watches with the Admiral and Golden Bridge Collections of watches - which are more unique, with interesting case shapes and sizes. What we have here, however, is not one of their more unusual type of watch, but one from their Artisan Heritage Collection. This watch is a special one indeed - paying tribute to one of Corum's first and original designs: a classic, minimally styled 38mm mechanical watch from 1957.
 
The dial has a silver brushed finishing, which depending on the light will turn to a light cream colour and show the details of the dial. The indices are razor-sharp and pairs fantastically with sword style hour and minute hands. The entire dial is proportionately beautiful and elegantly designed and pairs nicely with the sub seconds hand at the 6 o'clock part of the watch. It's all very subtle including the crosshair design element which draws your eye into the dial and the perfect symmetry of the design. And of course, it has no text do distract from the dial, only the brand name and applied logo at the 12 o'clock - as it should be for something as classically designed as this.
 
Turn the watch around, and you can see the mechanical movement through the open display caseback. The movement is nicely finished and honestly quite impressive at this price range. It's nice, clean and well-executed. Winding the watch is smooth and you can tell that it's all of great quality.
 
The watch is paired with a genuine alligator strap, which gives the watch a very dressy feel, though you can really change up the feel of the watch by changing it to other types of more casual leather or nylon straps. The watch wears slim, with a good enough wrist presence - which is suitable for both men and women alike in today's modern times.
