A sports watch defined by restraint rather than noise.
The Antarctique Dark Sector shows Czapek at its most disciplined—where dial, case, bracelet and movement are conceived as a single architectural idea. Since its 2015 revival, the brand has focused on independent watchmaking that values proportion, clarity, and long-term design integrity over trend-driven detail.
The SXH5 micro-rotor calibre delivers refined mechanical execution at a level rarely seen in integrated sports watches, while the anthracite dial’s segmented geometry replaces traditional markers with rhythm and negative space. The brushed titanium case and integrated bracelet keep the focus on lightness, balance, and wearability.
We carry it for collectors who already own the obvious references—and are now looking for something quieter, sharper, and more deliberate on the wrist.
A micro-rotor calibre built from a blank sheet and finished on both sides.
The SXH5 is Czapek’s first fully in-house automatic movement, developed to express the same clarity and restraint that defines the Antarctique Dark Sector. It runs on a single barrel delivering approximately 60 hours of power reserve, with a 22k gold off-centre micro-rotor that opens the architecture of the movement while maintaining efficiency and balance.
A free-sprung balance with four gold adjustable inertia weights allows precise regulation, while seven skeletonised bridges structure the gear train in an open, architectural layout. Finishing combines traditional haute horlogerie anglage with contemporary laser engraving, ensuring every visible surface is treated with the same level of attention as the dial side.
Servicing is handled directly through our relationship with Czapek in Geneva, where each movement is inspected, regulated and returned to us. Turnaround is typically six to eight weeks, and we can provide a loan watch while yours is away 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.
