This limited edition Czapek & Cie Antarctique Passage de Drake Viridian Green timepiece was released in July 2021 in collaboration with the popular online watch magazine Fratello.
In 2020, Czapek & Cie. introduced Antarctique, a luxury sports watch in steel as a contender to icons like Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. This special edition watch with a “Viridian green” flinqué dial combines the aesthetic highlights of the Czapek Antarctique Terre Adélie and Passage de Drake models.
Equipped with an exclusive caliber, this automatic watch provides a power reserve of 56 hours. The sapphire crystal case-back affords the view of the Czapek SXH5 self-winding movement and its platinum rotor.
Water resistant to 120 meters, this Antarctique watch is topped with a sapphire crystal glass. The custom flinqué dial of the watch is embellished with the “Viridian green” CVD coating. It displays the time with three analogue hands placed on the centre of the dial and the date at 6 o’ clock.
The central seconds hand is available with three choices: Full steel, Steel with an orange tip or Full orange.
Limited to 50 pieces, this exclusive Antarctique Passage de Drake watch has a retail price of €20,820, including VAT.
