The Czapek Antarctique Frozen Meteorite is a stunning timepiece that showcases the brand's innovative approach to luxury sports watches. With its unique dial made from a sliver of Gibeon meteorite, this watch is a true masterpiece. The dial, crafted by dial specialist GT Cadrans, features a natural silvery-grey surface acid-washed and hand-polished to reveal the Widmanstätten lines, then light blue lacquer is applied and eventually polished. The applied indices and sword-shaped hands have a luminescent inlay, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The watch is available in two case sizes: 38.5mm and 40.5mm, both with a shared height of 10.6mm and a depth rating of 120 meters. The case is made of stainless steel, brushed and polished, with a screw-down crown and crown guards, ensuring durability and protection for the watch's inner workings. The watch is powered by Czapek's in-house automatic calibre SXH5, which is wound by a platinum micro-rotor and beats at 28,800vph with a robust 60-hour power reserve. The movement features seven black openworked and sandblasted bridges, including the transversal bridge securing the variable inertia balance wheel, and is distinguished by its Swiss lever escapement and 193 components. The watch also comes with a V2 integrated steel bracelet, featuring the signature C-shaped polished central links and contrasting brushed outer surfaces, and includes a rubber strap for added comfort. The Czapek Antarctique Frozen Meteorite is a limited edition, with the 38.5mm model limited to 25 pieces and the 40.5mm model limited to 38 pieces, and is available to order now with deliveries scheduled for September 2026. The watch is priced at CHF 25,000 / EUR 27,500 (excl. tax) and is a testament to Czapek's commitment to creating unique and high-quality timepieces.
