Can you share a picture of the movement? Is it open caseback? Looks very interesting.

Its open back. Inhouse caliber SXH5 - platinum microrotor and 60 hrs power reserve.

Appols for the lighting conditions. Photos dont do it justice. Its breathtaking.

The build quality is superb.
Bracelet is one of the most comfortable i have worn. It also reflects light beautifully, akin to the Royal Oak bracelet but wears like an oyster.

Makes my Explorer look downward cheap...

Stunning watch! Congratulations!

Echoing the above - would love to hear your impressions after some more time on wrist. A very interesting brand.

That's so gorgeous, congratulations! Can't wait to get my Antarctique later in 2021. This manufacture has been wonderful to work with so far. Did you settle on a strap, and did it ship yet?

Thanks Matt. Yes i got the complimentary blue rubber strap and the deployant buckle but have not come around to cut it to size and put it together just yet. I am still enjoying the steel bracelet as its really fantastic to wear.

I think the closest competitor in this space at this price point is the Vacheron Overseas 3-hander. You're getting a luxury sport watch in a stainless steel case with bracelet, leather and rubber strap options with a quick change system. They price out almost identically when you add in a 2nd strap to the Czapek offering which ships with bracelet and one strap.

There are even similar dial options in terms of black, blue, and white/silver. With Czapek you get to customize your sweeping seconds hand, which is pretty cool. The Vacheron is beefier, has a 3:00 date window, and an auto movement with a big rotor. The Czapek case is a bit more svelte, has a 6:00 date window, and a more visually unique micro-rotor automatic movement. Vacheron bracelet is a bit beefier and predominantly brushed and it carries 15 bar water resistance, while the Czapek is rated to 12 bar and has a bracelet with some polished links.

Both are great alternatives (but certainly not replacements!) compared to an AP RO and Nautilus. I hope that Czapek builds on this line to get some complications down the road if they are successful with this release.

I haven't worn mine yet, but it arrived just in time for the new year. Front will stay under wraps, but I thought I'd post a photo of the (frankly insane) rear...
