The appropriate screwdriver is included in the Antarctique box. The 3d printed bracelet sizer is no longer included.

Heck yeah!

Love this upgrade. Well done Czapek!

Bug04 · 28 December 2022, 06:00 AM

Continuous improvement! That’s exciting! The gold to platinum microrotor and recharging train improvement, the micro adjust bracelet, the isolator screw for the barrel spring, now the pin to screw links connection, … and so on …

Gated.6 · 29 December 2022, 01:34 AM

Excellent addition. Now let’s just revisit adding the chamfer on the S to the 40.5! Very much looking forward to mine regardless.

fairlyintrigued · 29 December 2022, 11:27 AM

Great to find this thread! I'm slated to receive my glacier blue passage de drake S in December 2023 and excited to share Czapek with all of you.

Wow gents, introducing the exquisite timepieces 25pc ltd version. Don’t even know how to describe it. Inside it’s blue mostly with a tad teal/green. But then ~ whoa. My man Evan took great care of me.

Was this a new release ?

Congrats, a great special edition from Czapek's Naples FL dealer.

Not sure how to answer. They have started to deliver them. As for when in the queue they were slated and if they pushed them back like the timelines listed in this thread idk. When I heard about this one I changed my decision guessing these would deliver first and I liked it was only a 25 piece run. One thing that is interesting in this version is the czapek logo is on the glass rather than dial that creates a floating vibe

Conceived and agreed upon July 2021.

The world, and the delivery of Czapeks, was vastly different then than today.

Took a year and a half to deliver 25 pieces.

That’s where I first saw a Czapek and then found this thread. I’ve been keeping up with this ever since. Lotta ups and downs but mainly very positive.

sgrossma · 2 January 2023, 03:58 AM

Interesting to see most incomings with double indices at 12. For me it’s 12 at 12 all the way!

Schweinwerfer · 2 January 2023, 05:57 AM

It's a pity though that the DI makes it seem like a completely different watch. I had to return mine with Double indexes because I couldn't stand the proportions. They've shown me the one with 12 when I ordered it.

Pict · 2 January 2023, 06:52 AM

No doubt the variations will make the watch more or less attractive to some, however the DI proportions of the stairway dial are similar to the Terre and the monochrome was a mix of the 2 with having the 12 but the indices overlaying the minute track. To me, all are great looking.

Heinb · 4 January 2023, 02:19 PM

I think its great to have a choice between the two versions. Although its a difficult choice, because both look great.

enjoythemusic · 4 January 2023, 10:53 PM

Di or 12... hmmmm.... buy both! Problem solved

uscmatt99 · 5 January 2023, 03:26 AM

Has anyone found a set of replacement spring bars that tighten up the fit of the bracelet? Alternatively Mike, if you have any news on manufacture approved spring bars I development that’d be great.

Overall this watch continues to be my preferred daily wearer, perfect for any occasion!

Great looking watch! What's the best way to get an Anartique other than from secondary market? Do they even have a waiting list these days?
