The Bubble 47 Skeleton

From Corum -

This is the newest member of Bubble collection and is a wonderfully colorful take on a skeletonized movement.  And I really, really dig it!


47 mm in diameter, under the hood beats the Eterna Calibe 39. Eterna is a sister company in the City Champ group and this is good news as the demand for Eterna movements, or perhaps more specifically the ability to sell them, has not been realized as well as it might be. Interesting to relate, in the spec sheet it is referenced as the CO 082 – Automatic



The case itself is made of stainless steel and is available in either a standard or black pvd finish. It is available in three different versions. The  L082/03165 (above) features green hands, accents and a pvd treated case.

The L082/03162 (below) is perhaps the most subdued of the three with more traditional white hands and a more subtle background.

The third is boldly shaded in purple.  It also comes in a black pvd case.
