Introducing The Czapek Antarctique Mount Erebus Gold
Czapek has just added two limited editions in gold to its Antarctique collection, which is an absolute first within the line, inspired by Mount Erebus and coming with a blue dial.
It is not surprising that the Swiss watch brand named its two most recent Antarctique editions after Mount Erebus, as it is the southernmost active volcano, associating its activity with the gold tone of the new watches.
The watches wear the traditional round case with an integrated bracelet that characterizes the collection, which debuts here in 2N yellow gold and 5N rose gold with dimensions of 40.50mm in diameter and 10.60mm in thickness, featuring a mainly brushed finish and some polished elements such as the bezel and the C-shaped intermediate links on the bracelet. Sapphire crystal, smooth bezel, fluted crown at 3 o’clock with the brand’s signature, open case back and 120m water resistance.
The blue-toned dial evokes the hue of the first Antarctique, comes with a vertical brushed finish, features gold applied hour markers and hands all filled with Super-LumiNova, a date window at 6 o’clock with a background matching the dial, a rehaut minute track in a more open blue, a centre seconds hand and the brand’s lettering printed in white at noon.
At its heart, we can find the Caliber SXH5 automatic micro-rotor movement that operates at 28,800 Vph and offers up to 60 hours of power reserve.
In addition to the option of an integrated Titanium bracelet with a folding clasp, there is also the possibility of the watches coming with a rubber strap, with prices ranging between CHF 52,300 and CHF 31,000 for each of the options mentioned above.
The yellow gold edition is limited to 100 pieces, while the rose gold edition is limited to 50 pieces.
