Description
Corum Romvlvs – Ref. 5050356
The Architecture of Roman Timekeeping
Reference 5050356 is a tribute to classical antiquity, interpreted with the Swiss precision of the 1980s. Made from solid 18 Karat Yellow Gold, it embodies the luxurious "Jet-Set" style of that era. The flat case and minimalist design make it one of the most elegant dress watches of its time.
Design and Geometry
-
The Bezel: The centerpiece of the design. The Roman numerals are deeply engraved into the flat Gold bezel and often filled in black to create a high contrast with the polished Gold. This design gives the watch a distinctive silhouette.
-
The Dial: Extremely minimalist. Since the indices are on the bezel, the dial (often in Gold or champagne) remains completely free of markings. Only the "Corum" signature and the iconic key – the brand's logo – adorn the dial.
-
The Case: With a diameter of about 34 to 35 mm (typical for the time) and a very low height, the Romvlvs easily slips under any cuff.
The Mechanical Heart: Ultra-Thin Caliber
This reference from 1986 typically houses a high-quality, extra-flat Swiss movement.
-
Drive: Usually a mechanical caliber with Manual Wind or a precise quartz movement (depending on the specific movement version of the 5050356). In the 80s, Corum increasingly relied on ultra-thin movements to support the watch's slim aesthetic.
-
Hands: Two simple baton hands made of blackened Steel or Gold indicate hours and minutes, focusing attention on the engraved bezel.
Wearing Comfort and Strap
Reference 5050356 was often delivered on an integrated bracelet made of 18 Karat Yellow Gold, which wraps around the wrist like a smooth Gold band. Alternatively, it can be found on a fine leather strap that places more emphasis on the sculptural case.
Conclusion: The Corum Romvlvs from 1986 is a design statement. It breaks with the convention that time must take place within the glass. For collectors, it is an example of "Pure Design" – a watch that hides its complexity behind a facade of simple Roman brilliance.
