The movement has been inspected by a technician and confirmed to be in good working condition. The kit is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below.
The Artisan Classical Les Chevaliers de Montfort collection was introduced by CORUM as a tribute to medieval craftsmanship, with each piece reflecting the brand’s commitment to traditional watchmaking techniques. The calibre CO 254 is based on the ETA 2892-A2 architecture, a robust and widely respected Swiss automatic movement platform, modified and finished to CORUM’s specifications.
This kit is intended for professional use in watch servicing or restoration. The absence of a stem indicates the movement is sold as a core unit, requiring additional components for full assembly. The accompanying dial and hands are original CORUM parts, matching the limited-edition specifications of the Les Chevaliers de Montfort 42 model.
Specifications

The dial is burgundy with yellow accents, featuring no numerals or hour markers. The applied white gold Corum logo is positioned at 3 o’clock. The hands are original to the kit, matching the dial’s color scheme and design language. The movement is marked Corum | CO 254 | 21 Jewels | Chronometer on the rotor and mainplate.
