• The Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake “Roaring Forties” is a standout evolution of the brand’s luxury sports watch line, blending bold design with mechanical sophistication. Inspired by the powerful winds of the Southern Ocean, the watch features a three-dimensional “flinqué” dial pattern, created through a complex stamping and galvanic process. This wave-like texture adds depth and movement, enhancing the visual drama of the dial.

• The watch is powered by Czapek’s in-house automatic SXH5 movement, which is visible through the exhibition case back. The movement showcases modern architecture, skeletonized bridges, and a micro-rotor, offering both technical refinement and visual intrigue. The watch is fitted with a brushed integrated bracelet, where each brushed link is connected by a highly polished “C”-shaped link as a subtle nod to the Czapek name. A quick-change system allows the bracelet to be easily swapped for a rubber strap that mirrors the dial’s trapezoid motif.

• The present example, owned by the original owner, is offered in excellent condition and comes as a full set with all original accessories. Notably the name of the original owner, "Michael W", is engraved on the caseback. As a highly coveted and limited-edition model, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive integrated sports watches of the modern era. With its refined finishing, versatile strap system, and striking dial, the “Roaring Forties” exemplifies Czapek’s bold design language and its place among the top tier of contemporary independent watchmakers.
