The Antarctique Goes Fully Modern

In 2020, Collective reached out to Czapek to discuss the potential for a collaboration and, after spending time with the line, we decided that we wanted to use the Antarctique as the platform for what would eventually become the P.04. 

While that collaboration is long sold out, the Antarctique in its many variants are still in regular production today.  Each variation showcases the incredible dial work and of course, the in house SXH5 caliber, which is not only a slight 4.2mm thick, it's also finished to an extraordinarily high degree.

The Antarctique is a thin, elegant sports watch that is at home in all settings. Water resistant to 120m and featuring an integrated stainless steel bracelet, the Antarctique is one of the most recognizable modern independent sports watches available today.

The Dark Sector debuts a new case material for the Antarctique: Titanium

The Antarctique Titanium ‘Dark Sector’ s driven by the tried-and-true SHX5, and its dial was designed for excellent readability and viewing pleasure.

The key to this Antarctique’s appeal is in the careful use of space. A traditional minute track has been discreetly placed around the edge of a smooth anthracite dial. It surrounds a double row of lightly arched parallel segments that are interrupted at each numeral. The sword hour hand points to the gaps like a ship seeking entrance into a harbour, while the minute and second hands sweep the dial each at their own pace, closing the gaps for a moment.

The Antarctique Titanium ‘Dark Sector’ emerged naturally from the collection’s elegant case and bracelet of brushed titanium with the sensually rounded crown protector. These shades of grey inspired the model’s overall monochrome scheme, which highlights the two touches of colour on the dial, namely the red dot at twelve o’clock, and the tip of the second hand.
