CZAPEK, ANTARCTIQUE PASSAGE DE DRAKE GREEN METEOR, A PROTOTYPE EDITION AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH
A tribute to the turbulent waters between Cape Horn and Antarctica, the Antarctique Passage de Drake seamlessly combines rugged sophistication with exceptional technical prowess.
Its striking Green Meteor dial is sure to captivate anyone who glimpses it, with its unique crystal patterns. Equipped with the first automatic movement entirely designed in-house by Czapek, the SXH5’s micro-rotor is positioned off-center, offering an unobstructed view of its remarkable architecture. Seven skeletonized bridges support the gear train, while the free-sprung balance wheel, featuring four gold adjustable weights with variable inertia, ensures unparalleled precision.
Significant attention was devoted to the bracelet, which is crafted with an ergonomic, brushed integrated design. The links are meticulously shaped to form a polished “C,” and when worn, the bracelet’s comfort allows it to be nearly forgotten, only to reveal its stunning beauty, creating an exquisitely pleasurable contrast.
