This Czapek Antarctique is an elevated and elegant luxury sports watch, which doubles as an everyday timepiece.
Why we love it
The Antarctique collection, with the elegant appeal of a dress watch, was the brand's take on the world of luxury sports watches. Forged in stainless steel, including the integrated bracelet, this reference 1520 secures a prime position in a collector's sports watch collection.
There's more to haute horlogerie than peerless complications. The intricate surfaces, unique materials, sublime finishing touches, and impressive movements are unmistakable factors that determine the value of a timekeeper. This Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake showcases their signature Stairway to Eternity pattern on the ice-white dial. Furthermore, it features luminescent applied index markers and sword hands. To keep with Czapek's aesthetics based on vertical symmetry, the date aperture is placed at six o'clock. Additionally, it deviates from an angular bezel, typically associated with sports watches, and flaunts a polished smooth bezel on a 40.5mm case.
This contemporary masterpiece is nothing short of a technological marvel with their in-house automatic calibre SXH5, which can be viewed through a skeletonised caseback. Moreover, it generates a power reserve of 60 hours and beats at a frequency of 28,800vph.
Please note that this Czapek Antarctique has scratches on the bezel, case, caseback, bracelet, and clasp.
Provenance
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.
