The Czapek Antarctique Tourbillon Victory Green is a 10-piece limited edition pairing a 40.5mm 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet with a forest-green hand-guilloché "Singularité" dial. Born from a single collector's bespoke commission, it is the first gold Antarctique Tourbillon, powered by the in-house automatic flying tourbillon Calibre 9.
Victory Green began as a one-off commission: a collector asked Czapek for an Antarctique Tourbillon in yellow gold with a deep forest-green dial that put the mechanics on full display. The result impressed the Geneva brand enough that, with the client's agreement, it became a numbered series of just 10 pieces. It is also the first time the Antarctique Tourbillon has been offered in gold. The dial is the centerpiece. Czapek's registered "Singularité" hand-guilloché, developed with dial maker Metalem, shifts its point of origin with each pass of the lathe, creating a black-hole vortex that pulls the eye toward the tourbillon. It is cut into Czapek's proprietary "Secret Alloy" and given its green tone by PVD. Green lumed markers sit on the flange, and the skeletonized gold-tone hands are also lumed. Calibre 9 is the first Czapek movement designed, built and largely machined in-house. The barrel, gear train and flying tourbillon line up on a single vertical axis on the dial side, with the tourbillon spinning in a convex titanium cage. Through the sapphire caseback, a convex 5N gold rotor hand-engraved by master engraver Michèle Rothen echoes the Singularité pattern. The 18k 2N yellow gold case measures 40.5mm by 11.5mm with box sapphire crystals and 50m water resistance. The integrated bracelet forms a polished "C" for Czapek and uses the Easy Release quick-change system, with a complimentary rubber strap. The watch debuted to collectors at WatchTime New York 2026 at Gotham Hall.
With only 10 numbered pieces, the first-ever gold Antarctique Tourbillon, and an origin story rooted in a bespoke commission, Victory Green is among Czapek's rarest modern releases. Czapek builds watches to order and its Antarctique line has strong independent-collector demand, so allocation will likely matter more than price. Expect secondary-market examples to be scarce. The CHF 98,000 bracelet version is the most complete configuration; strap-only versions start at CHF 69,600.
