Description

The Passage de Drake. 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. The stormy seas and icy conditions make it one of the most challenging places to navigate and sailors say to prepare yourself for an experience somewhere between bad and terrifying!

Features

Glacier cool. With its crisp “Stairway to Eternity” dial and icy blue flinqué finish, the Antarctique Glacier Blue is Czapek’s sharpest steel execution yet—fitted with the in-house SXH5 micro-rotor for an edge as refined as the design.
