Corum Buckingham 18k
Corum is a brand with a shorter history than for example Patek Philippe or Rolex. The company started in 1955, making high-quality watches. Think of their success called The Admirals cup, the early 1960s. But a big hit was also a watch made of a solid 20$ coin. Still one of their successors.
The Buckingham series was released in the early 60s as part of the dress watches. It was the first appearance of large-sized watches with the Buckingham model, which asserted itself through its oversized proportions that were extremely innovative at the time.
Bob Feller, a famous baseball player (a pitcher) was the leading man in the advertisement. His hand with a baseball and a Corum Buckingham on his wrist is an iconic picture. The models come with many different dials, some of them hand-painted. Our example has a printed dial with the numbers mentioned in french language. The original box and papers are still there.
We bought this watch from the first owner, it was given as a company gift. Worn it not much and kept it safe all these years. Now 81 years old he wanted to pass it on to a new owner who will enjoy wearing it. So are you looking for something almost NOS and not common, this is the one!
