Czapek & Cie Antarctique Passage de Drake S Aqua Blue
The Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake S Aqua Blue is a striking evolution in the luxury sport-chic watch category, blending exceptional technical sophistication with an adventurous spirit. Its 38.5 mm stainless steel case features a distinctive double “trompe l’oeil” curve, integrating seamlessly with the bracelet for ergonomic comfort and bold wrist presence. The focal point is its captivating Aqua Blue stamped "flinique" dial, reminiscent of the deep blue sea, brought to life by the unique three-dimensional “Stairway to Eternity” trapezoid motif—a registered design that plays beautifully with light and shadow. A date window at 6 o’clock preserves the dial’s vertical symmetry, while sword-shaped hands and raised indexes ensure excellent legibility.

At the heart of the Passage de Drake S beats the in-house SXH5.01 automatic caliber, Czapek’s first proprietary movement built from the ground up. Designed in collaboration with the finest Swiss ateliers, this ultra-thin caliber features a recessed microrotor made of recycled 18K gold, positioned off-center to reveal the intricate architecture within. The movement’s free-sprung balance wheel with variable inertia ensures top-tier precision, while seven skeletonized bridges anchor the gear train with elegance. Haute horlogerie finishing blends traditional techniques with state-of-the-art laser engraving, celebrating craftsmanship at every level.
This luxury Swiss automatic watch is more than a timekeeping instrument, it's an expression of rare design and mechanical artistry. With its signature dial, bold Aqua Blue color, and finely tuned movement, the Antarctique Passage de Drake S is built for collectors who seek innovation, performance, and distinctiveness in every detail.
