We have just received the Capek Antarctic Green Meteor, a meteorite dial that was suddenly announced by Capek in 2024, in Japan faster than anywhere else. We will review the actual machine! The movement uses the SHX5 with a rhodium micro rotor, and it is sandblasted everywhere, making it a watch that will fascinate any watch fan.
The additional straps are offered because Czapek developed a unique quick-change system that allows the wearer to swap out one strap for another in a minute. To provide maximum versatility and a playful experience, a wide choice of straps is now offered. Four rubber straps with patterns reminiscent of the "Stairway to Eternity" design of the Passage de Drake dial are available in black, white, dark blue and dark grey.
In fine watchmaking, every detail counts. In addition to the exceptional SHX5 movement and the sleek, sharp design of the case and dial, great attention was also paid to the bracelet. The feel on the wrist, its comfort in all circumstances and its lightness are just as important as the look and technical quality of the watch. The possibility that the wearer will forget about it and suddenly reveal its astonishing beauty creates a very enjoyable duality. For this reason, the Antarctique collection is equipped with an ergonomic, brushed integrated bracelet whose links interlock to form a highly polished version of the Czapek "C".
