Antarctique Titanium 'Dark Sector'

Every watch is essentially subjected to two sets of fundamental laws. The first is mechanics, which means everything must function like clockwork, quite literally. The second is aesthetics and is far more subjective: a watch must be visually attractive, provocative, seductive. The Czapek Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector, strikes a perfectly symbiotic balance between these two poles. It is driven by the tried-and-true SXH5, and its dial was designed for excellent readability and viewing pleasure.

The dial was designed in such a way that the marker becomes the void between each arched sector. This spontaneously inspired the model's name 'Dark Sector', which comes from the Dark Sector Laboratory and telescopes at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where the skies are some of the clearest and darkest in the world.

Available in a limited yearly production of 100 pieces.
