A sports watch that earns its identity through design.
The Antarctique Passage de Drake is proof that originality doesn't require excess. Since its revival in 2015, Czapek has approached watchmaking with the mindset of an independent atelier, where every design decision serves the whole rather than chasing attention.
Its "Stairway to Eternity" dial creates remarkable depth through a stamped geometric pattern that changes constantly with the light, while the SXH5 micro-rotor calibre, integrated bracelet and sculpted case demonstrate the same level of care inside and out.
We recommend it to collectors looking beyond the familiar names—those who appreciate exceptional finishing, thoughtful design and the confidence of wearing something genuinely uncommon.
A micro-rotor calibre designed from a blank sheet.
The SXH5 carries 193, 28 jewels, 60 hours on one single barrel of power reserve, beating at 4 Hz – 28800 VpH.
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Czapek and handle the shipping both ways.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
