Czapek AntarctiqueModel No: 1527

The Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake Glacier Blue S is a compelling example of why Czapek has become one of the most respected names in modern independent watchmaking. Combining refined aesthetics, impressive mechanical credentials, and meticulous finishing, it delivers a distinctive alternative within the increasingly competitive luxury sports watch category. At the heart of the watch is its captivating Glacier Blue dial, whose textured surface creates remarkable depth and dynamism as it catches the light. The vibrant blue tone gives the watch a fresh and contemporary character, while applied hour markers, luminous hands, and a discreet date display ensure excellent everyday legibility. The result is a dial that is both technically intricate and visually engaging, rewarding attention from every angle.

The 38.5mm stainless steel case strikes an ideal balance between elegance and versatility, offering proportions that wear comfortably across a wide range of wrist sizes. Integrated seamlessly into the matching steel bracelet, the case showcases the architectural design language that has become synonymous with the Antarctique collection. The combination of brushed and polished surfaces further enhances the watch's sophisticated appearance, highlighting the level of finishing expected from a high-end independent manufacture. Powering the watch is Czapek's automatic SXH5 calibre, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement reflects the brand's commitment to modern haute horlogerie, combining contemporary engineering with refined execution. Its exhibition case back allows owners to appreciate the craftsmanship beneath the surface, adding another dimension to the ownership experience.

With 120 metres of water resistance, a robust stainless steel construction and a design that effortlessly transitions between casual and formal settings, the Antarctique Passage de Drake Glacier Blue S exemplifies the modern luxury sports watch at its most accomplished. For collectors seeking something beyond the mainstream, it offers a compelling blend of exclusivity, craftsmanship and contemporary style.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos. Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card. A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements. We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
