Some releases begin inside a brand, others with a collector's wish. Czapek's Antarctique Tourbillon Victory Green started as a commission from a seasoned collector who wanted the warmth of gold, the depth of forest green and a direct view of the mechanism. The result was strong enough that, with the owner's agreement, the brand turned it into a 10-piece edition.

The case is 18K 2N gold and keeps the Antarctique's signature tonneau shape, with hand-polished bevels and the line's groove along the flanks, while the top is vertically brushed so the gold does not shout. The dial uses Czapek's exclusive Secret Alloy, PVD-coated in forest green.

The dial pattern is a Singularité hand-guilloché developed with specialist dial maker Metalem. Rather than radiating from a single centre like traditional rose-engine work, it is built from interlocking micro-rhombuses that converge toward the middle. Czapek even made a dedicated cam so the lathe's cutting start point shifts as it runs, producing deeper geometric layering.

To keep the view open, the watch drops the conventional metal bezel for a box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, showing the dial work and the movement. Inside is the Calibre 9 automatic flying tourbillon with 100 hours of power reserve; the edition is limited to 10 numbered pieces.
