Description

ELEGANCE SHAPED BY THE DESERT

The Czapek Antarctique Desert Rose is a refined expression of haute horlogerie, crafted in a 40.5mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet. Echoing the warm glow of desert minerals, its sand colored dial is finely microblasted to evoke the soft texture of the desert sands. A rare edition of 25 pieces showcases a unique 12 o’clock index rendered in exclusive eastern Arabic calligraphy by master artist Wissam Shawkat, each accompanied by a signed certificate. A second edition of 100 pieces features a bold numeric “12,” emphasizing purity and balance. Czapek’s signature symmetry subtly elevates the design, while the date window at 6 o’clock reflects the Maison’s dedication to meticulous harmonious design. This is desert-inspired elegance brought to its highest form. 

Every detail of the Antarctique Desert Rose has been thoughtfully crafted to elevate it beyond simple timekeeping, offering a refined and contemporary expression of Czapek’s watchmaking philosophy. The sand-tone dial, microblasted for a soft matte mineral texture, forms the backdrop for sharp sword-shaped hands and raised indexes that enhance depth, clarity, and visual balance. The 6 o’clock date window maintains Czapek’s signature vertical symmetry, pairing elegance with everyday practicality. Its 40.5mm case preserves the Antarctique line’s double trompe-l’œil curvature, delivering comfort and subtle tension. The integrated stainless steel bracelet, equipped with a micro-adjustment system and Czapek’s EasyRelease mechanism, allows effortless transitions to leather or rubber straps.

Features

At the heart of the Antarctique Passage de Drake Sahara Sands beats the SXH5 automatic caliber, the first movement entirely conceived in-house by Czapek. Every component is crafted with precision by top Swiss manufacturing partners. The movement features a micro-rotor in recycled 950 platinum, allowing a clear view of its exceptional architecture. This automatic mechanical watch provides the highest level of precision with a free-sprung balance wheel and variable inertia, supported by seven skeletonized bridges that evoke the elegance of 19th-century pocket watches and modern Czapek designs.
