Introducing Czapek’s Faubourg De Cracovie Crossroads
Czapek has expanded its Faubourg de Cracovie collection with the introduction of the Crossroads model, featuring a striking new guilloché dial and inner tachymeter bezel, reminiscent of classic motorsport chronographs. First launched in 2018, the Faubourg de Cracovie was Czapek’s debut chronograph, and this latest addition brings two fresh 41.5mm iterations to the lineup.
The watch’s exterior showcases a polished and brushed stainless steel case, complemented by hollow lugs and sapphire glass. The crown at 3 o’clock is protected by two integrated pushers, ensuring a seamless design. The open case back, secured by seven screws, reveals the movement inside and offers a modest 50m water resistance.
Available in two dial options, the first features a blue dial with silver hands, while the second offers a silvery dial crafted from a unique metal secret alloy, adorned with blue hands. Both versions display the intricate Crossroads guilloché, a pattern that evokes tyre treads, enhancing the sporty aesthetic. The dial is further highlighted by two silver chronograph subdials, with the 30-minute counter positioned at 3 o’clock and the 12-hour recorder at 9 o’clock. The running seconds subdial at 6 o’clock integrates a date window, while spear-shaped hands and applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova ensure legibility. The black tachymeter bezel and a chronograph center seconds hand with a red tip add a dynamic touch to the design.
The Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads is powered by the SHX3 automatic movement, a COSC-certified chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch. Operating at a high frequency of 5 Hz, the movement provides up to 65 hours of power reserve and is beautifully finished with an openworked golden rotor and anthracite sandblasted bridges.
This timepiece is available with an alligator or Alcantara leather strap, paired with a steel pin buckle. Notably, the silvery dial variant is limited to just 50 pieces, adding exclusivity to its appeal. The price for the Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads is set at CHF 36,000, plus VAT.
For those seeking a luxury chronograph with a motorsport-inspired design, the Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie Crossroads offers a refined blend of performance and style.
