Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake Glacier Blue

Ref. PdD Glacier Blue

The dial carries Czapek's registered "Stairway to Eternity" trapezoid pattern, stamped into the surface using a three-dimensional flinqué technique and finished with an ice-blue PVD coating. Sword-shaped steel hands and applied baton indices are both filled with Super-LumiNova, while a date window sits at six o'clock in line with the dial's vertical symmetry. The sapphire crystal is shaped in a box profile, with a sapphire exhibition caseback revealing the SXH5 movement's seven skeletonised, angular bridges. The in-house automatic calibre runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 60-hour power reserve, wound by an off-centred micro-rotor in recycled 950 platinum. The 40.5mm marine-grade steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces and is rated to 120 metres via a screwed crown. Its fully integrated bracelet features polished C-shaped mid-links and a deployant clasp with on-the-fly micro-adjustment and a quick-release mechanism for strap changes.
