This Silver Grey version, strictly limited to just 77 pieces, stands out as one of the most refined and modern interpretations of the split-seconds chronograph, housed in a 42.5 mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet design.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"1479\">At the heart of this creation lies the SHX6 calibre, developed in collaboration with Chronode : a monopusher split-seconds automatic chronograph movement, purpose-built to offer a full frontal view of its mechanics. This spectacular movement, composed of 292 parts, reveals the full complexity of the rattrapante function on the dial side: dual column wheels (located at 12 and 6 o\u2019clock), horizontal clutch, patent-pending clamp system, and a fully open three-dimensional architecture. A central rotor in recycled 5N rose gold, visible through the sapphire caseback, ensures a 60-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"2088\">The Silver Grey minute track and counters, with their sunray-brushed finish, add a cool, contemporary elegance that contrasts beautifully with the sandblasted skeletonized bridges and thermally blued hands. Chronograph minutes are displayed at 4:30, small seconds at 7:30, and the split-seconds hand is activated via a dedicated pusher at 10:30. Despite the wealth of mechanical detail on display, legibility remains excellent, and every component showcases the finishing quality of a true haute horlogerie piece \u2013 including black-polished screws, satin-finished levers, and hand-bevelled edges.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2264\">The integrated stainless steel bracelet is fluid yet sharply defined, and features Czapek\u2019s exclusive Easy Release system for quick interchangeability with the included rubber strap. It also features a fast micro-adjustment clasp for optimal comfort.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2266\" data-end=\"2655\">Offered here in excellent condition, this watch, individually numbered 1\/77, comes with its complete original set. A rare opportunity to acquire the very first edition of the Antarctique Rattrapante: one of the most visually striking and technically impressive chronographs of the past decade, and a milestone in the evolution of contemporary independent watchmaking.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Split Czapek &amp; Cie, maison ind\u00e9pendante helv\u00e9tico-parisienne au riche h\u00e9ritage et aux racines polonaises, a frapp\u00e9 un grand coup en 2022 avec le lancement de l\u2019Antarctique Rattrapante, une pi\u00e8ce d\u2019exception qui conjugue haute horlogerie contemporaine et m\u00e9canique de pointe.
