The typical feature of the Corum Admiral's Cup range is use of 10 multi-coloured nautical signal flags as hour markers; they match the international numerical code and every hour is represented by the corresponding pennant(s).
The Admiral Tides was launched in 1993. Its display shows the moon cycle and the time of the tides, the strength of the tides as well as an estimate of the water level and the strength of the currents.
