What to know
Czapek’s Antarctique Frozen Meteor uses a Gibeon iron-meteorite dial whose Widmanstätten pattern makes every watch unique. A light denim-blue lacquer cools the natural crystalline texture without hiding it. The stainless-steel case measures 40.5 mm and is paired with Czapek’s revised V2 integrated bracelet. Water resistance is rated to 120 metres.
The automatic SXH5 was conceived in-house and uses an off-centre micro-rotor made from recycled 950 platinum. It operates at 4 Hz and offers approximately 60 hours of power reserve, with stop-seconds for precise setting. The 40.5 mm Frozen Meteor is limited to 38 pieces and was announced at CHF 25,000, with first deliveries scheduled for September 2026.
