Independent watchmaker Czapek & Cie has unveiled three new iterations of its Antarctique Titanium collection. Showcased at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the trio of timepieces — comprising the Antarctique Dark Sector, Révélation, and Tourbillon Cosmic Blue — celebrates the exceptional strength-to-weight ratio of titanium.

The three new models utilize Czapek’s proprietary Cosmic Blue tone, a deep sapphire hue originally developed for the first Antarctique Tourbillon. The brand pairs the lightweight metal with an integrated bracelet featuring C-shaped central links, a micro-adjustment system, and an easy release function that allows wearers to swap to an included rubber strap.

Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector Cosmic Blue

This highly limited release elevates the brand’s signature sports watch design with a sleek grade 5 titanium case and a striking blue brass dial. The Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector Cosmic Blue arrives in two distinct case proportions: the standard 40.5 mm ANTARCTIQUE and the smaller 38.5 mm ANTARCTIQUE S. Both iterations boast a slim height of 10.6 mm, feature a screwed-down crown, and provide a water resistance of 12 atm. The visual anchor of the timepiece is its blue brass dial, created in collaboration with Metalem, which showcases a velouté finish and an exclusive registered segments design. Luminescent steel “Sword” hands complete the face, housed beneath a sapphire crystal glass-box treated with an anti-reflective coating on the inner side. At the heart of the watch lies the Calibre SXH5, Czapek’s entirely in-house conceived self-winding mechanical movement. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28800 VpH), the 193-part movement boasts a 60-hour power reserve delivered by a single barrel, and is driven by a micro-rotor crafted from a recycled platinum mass. The meticulous finishing includes open ratchets, sandblasted black bridges, bevelling, straight-grained sides, and six hand-chamfered inward angles. The timepiece is completed with an integrated grade 5 titanium bracelet featuring Czapek’s exclusive “Easy Release” micro-adjustment system, alongside an included rubber strap.

This striking sports watch pairs a grade 5 titanium case with a complex, in-house skeletonized movement designed for maximum visual impact. The Antarctique Révélation Titanium Cosmic Blue is offered in two distinct sizes: the standard 40.5 mm ANTARCTIQUE Révélation and the scaled-down 38.5 mm ANTARCTIQUE Révélation S. Both iterations feature a sleek height of 10.6 mm , utilize a screwed-down crown, and provide a water resistance rating of 12 atm. Framing the skeletonized interior is a metallic blue minutes and small second track dial, enhanced with a circular satin finish. Created alongside specialist Metalem, the face incorporates luminescent steel “Sword” hands underneath a sapphire crystal glass-box treated with anti-reflective coating. Powering the detailed display is the entirely in-house conceived Calibre SXH7. This self-winding mechanical skeletonized movement is constructed from 152 individual parts and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz. It delivers a 60-hour power reserve via a single barrel , utilizing a micro-rotor crafted from a recycled platinum mass to supply its energy. The finishing techniques include open ratchets, sandblasted black bridges, straight-grained sides, and hand-chamfering. Rounding out the design is an integrated grade 5 titanium bracelet equipped with Czapek’s exclusive “Easy Release” micro-adjustment system, as well as an included rubber strap.

Antarctique Tourbillon Titanium Cosmic Blue

This exclusive 25-piece limited edition merges high-end horological complications with a sleek and durable grade 5 titanium case. The Antarctique Tourbillon Cosmic Blue is housed in a 40.5 mm grade 5 titanium case that maintains a slim 11.5 mm profile and a 45 mm lug-to-lug distance. The visual focal point of the sports watch is its striking face, which utilizes a registered ‘Singularity’ handmade guilloché pattern crafted from a 401 ‘Secret Alloy’. Finished in a PVD-made blue hue, the dial is accented by rhodium-plated hour-markers and indexes coated in Superluminova for enhanced legibility. The entire structure is protected by a sapphire crystal glass box treated with an anti-reflective coating on the inner side, while the case itself offers a water resistance of 5 atm. Powering the hours, minutes, and the 60-second flying tourbillon is the Czapek manufacture Calibre 9. The mechanical automatic movement operates at a 3 Hz frequency and consists of 191 individual parts and 20 jewels. It delivers a robust 100-hour power reserve and utilizes a hand-engraved 5N gold oscillating weight for its automatic winding system. Finishing details on the movement include openwork ratchets and sandblasted, blackened, satin-finished, and hand-bevelled bridges featuring six inward angles. Rounding out the release is an integrated grade 5 titanium bracelet equipped with Czapek’s exclusive ‘Easy Release’ and micro-adjustment systems, alongside an included rubber strap.
