By the look of the image S = Small?

The S model is definitely smaller than the others in that image

Interesting decision to price the sizes the same (and one I personally applaud: it's much more difficult to make a small watch than a large one, and I think that at least part of the consumer obsession with size is the perception of a corresponding increase in value).

As a consumer of smaller watches, i vehemently disagree…..

There's no savings in 25 grams of stainless left behind in a pile of chips in the 5 axis CNC. The machining operations and touch labor are the same or higher. No discount for you!

Not necessarily. Some of us smaller wrist guys °°barely°° can pull off 44mm PAM case (fashionably acceptable speaking). 40 is good for me, and 36 is about as small as i'd go, yet can work really well depending on the case design / bracelet (again, fashionably acceptable).

Asia is a VERY strong market, so....

On the other hand one of my good friends is... think football player. A 47mm on his wrist is akin to a 32 on mine(!).

PS: If Czapek made a pink dial version my Muse / wife would be elated! If someone from Czapek is reading this, please consider this post my order for the smaller case with Pink dial. Diamond bezel option?

I love the glacier blue. Curious to see how it looks paired with rubber/strap. Hoping nobody starts calling it a Tiffany and prices go through the roof

The S model is 38.5mm and fits their standard Antarctique movement in the smaller case. I have high quality renders of the glacier blue from Czapek on bracelet, grey rubber and navy rubber that I’ll share once my post count allows it ��

Also for anyone wondering, that limited edition Rattrapante teased in the promo photo will have light blue sapphire discs and will be limited to 99 pieces.

Great info, thx!

Is the bracket / strap size the same, so just the head shrunk a bit? Was kinda hoping it was 36mm.

I can't say with certainty as I didn't ask, but I have to imagine that in order for the proportions to work, they would have to change the strap size as well.

Here are some renders of the Glacier Blue I got from Czapek to help me decide on strap… went with navy blue!

Watch out that the grey rubber shows live muuuuch darker than in picture! That’s the one I prefer but Glacier Blue dial is fantastic, also with that top navy strap!
