About this reference

At the heart of the Antarctique Passage de Drake Sahara Sands beats the SXH5 automatic caliber, the first movement entirely conceived in-house by Czapek. Every component is crafted with precision by top Swiss manufacturing partners. The movement features a micro-rotor in recycled 950 platinum, allowing a clear view of its exceptional architecture. This automatic mechanical watch provides the highest level of precision with a free-sprung balance wheel and variable inertia, supported by seven skeletonized bridges that evoke the elegance of 19th-century pocket watches and modern Czapek designs. In luxury watchmaking, comfort and design go hand in hand. The Antarctique Passage de Drake Desert Rose is equipped with a brushed integrated bracelet that meshes to form a highly polished "C" for Czapek. The bracelet’s ergonomic design ensures comfort and lightness, allowing the timepiece to be worn effortlessly. The micro-adjustment system, introduced in January 2022, allows the wearer to extend the bracelet by a few millimeters for the perfect fit. Additionally, the watch comes with an exclusive quick-change system for switching between straps, offering versatility with rubber or leather alternatives.
