Czapek - Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector

Czapek presented the new Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector a 3-hand watch

Czapek's Antarctique model has been interpreted in a new monochrome theme incorporating a range of grey shades.

The distinguishing feature of the new Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector is a smooth anthracite dial which showcases, along the edge, two rows of curved parallel segments interrupted at each numeral. Moving outwards, a traditional minute track improves the legibility of the time.

The sword hour and minute hands are filled Super-LumiNova while the central seconds hand is red-tipped. Red is also used for the dot at 12 o'clock.

This 3-hand watch comes in a 40.5 mm case crafted from titanium that is just 10.6 mm thick, thin enough to slip comfortably under a cuff.

The watch runs on Czapek’s robust automatic calibre SXH5, the first to be entirely conceived in-house.  This 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour ) movement is driven by a microrotor of recycled platinum and provides up to 60 hours of power reserve. Its architecture is revealed though the transparent sapphire crystal case back.

The gear train is held in place by a series of seven skeletonized bridges, with straight-grained sides and chamfered inward angles, inspired by nineteenth-century pocket watches.

The watch is matched to an integrated C-link titanium bracelet with a satin-brushed finish. Fitted with a quick-change system, it is delivered with an additional rubber strap.

Available in a limited yearly production of 100 pieces, the new Czapek Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector has a price of CHF 32,000 before taxes. czapek.com
