A sports watch that feels closer to the sky than the wrist.
The Antarctique Polar Sky is Czapek’s most poetic expression of the integrated sports watch, where case, bracelet, dial and movement are conceived as a single, resolved design. Since its revival in 2015, the Maison has built its identity on independent watchmaking defined by restraint, precision, and a refusal to overstate complexity.
The Polar Sky dial evokes shifting atmospheric tones, paired with the in-house SXH5 micro-rotor calibre finished to a level rarely seen in this category. The integrated bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, maintaining a sense of balance, proportion and everyday wearability.
We carry it for collectors who already own the familiar icons—and are now looking for something more subtle, more considered, and more quietly distinctive.
A micro-rotor calibre built to disappear behind the dial, not dominate it.
The SXH5 is Czapek’s fully in-house self-winding movement, developed exclusively for the Antarctique collection and refined to reflect the same clarity as its design language. It runs on a single barrel delivering approximately 60 hours of power reserve, with a 22k gold micro-rotor visible through the sapphire case back and finished with the same attention as the dial side.
Servicing is handled directly through our relationship with Czapek in Geneva, where each movement is fully inspected and regulated before returning. Turnaround is typically six to eight weeks, and we are happy to provide a loan watch during the service period if required.

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.
