Catalogue Essay
- Introduced in 2020, the Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake is named after the English explorer Sir Francis Drake, the Drake Passage connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans between Cape Horn (the southernmost point of South American) and the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic.

- Sized at 40.5mm in stainless steel with integrated double ‘‘trompe l'oeil’ curve”, the dial is decorated with an intriguing trapezoid motif named “Stairway to Eternity”. The present edition is the Antarctique Passage de Drake Deep Blue.

- Powered by the micro-rotor caliber SXH5 combining sophistication and high reliability, the SXH5 merges haute horlogerie angling techniques with avant-garde laser engravings. Featuring stop second and date function, the movement has a free-sprung balance wheel with four gold adjustable weights, all gear train is held in place by skeletonized bridges that gives the movement incredible depth and intricacy.

- Fitted with a brushed integrated bracelet, whose brushed links are themselves connected with highly polished links in the form of a “C” for Czapek. The bracelet further features a quick-change system to allow the wearer to interchange it with the rubber strap that is decorated with the same trapezoid pattern found on the dial.
