Specifications

About this reference

The new Antarctique Frozen Meteor 40.5mm brings together one of nature's most fascinating materials with Czapek's contemporary design. Crafted from Gibeon meteorite, every dial reveals a unique Widmanstätten pattern created millions of years ago. Finished in a light denim-blue lacquer, the crystalline structure shifts with every change of light, ensuring that each of the 38 pieces is entirely unique. The Antarctique Frozen Meteor is housed in a stainless steel case and fitted with Czapek's new V2 integrated bracelet, engineered for improved precision, comfort and serviceability. Beneath the meteorite dial beats the in-house Calibre SXH5, whose micro-rotor architecture and refined finishing are visible through the sapphire caseback. Limited to just 38 pieces, it combines technical excellence with a unique aesthetics.
