The limited edition Antarctique for GMT Great Masters of Time is a testament to Czapek's dedication to superior watchmaking and GMT Milano's unique position as a trailblazer in the Italian luxury watch market. The watch features the Antarctique signature 40.5mm case in stainless steel, while its standout feature is its dial. Created by the long-time Czapek partner and renowned Swiss dial maker Metalem, the dial boasts a distinctive grainy matte texture made by stamping at the centre, and circular satin-finish under the minute track, both with 4N gold plating achieved by galvanic treatment.
A defining element of this limited edition is the use of 4N gold, that has become synonymous with GMT Milano's exclusive editions. The almost champagne, or better, Franciacorta-colored hue of the 4N gold is not just a design choice but a symbol rooted in the history of GMT Milano. This subtle yet striking tone has been consistently featured in all of GMT Milano's limited editions, underscoring the family-owned company’s commitment to maintaining a connection with its heritage. At the heart of this timepiece is Czapek's in-house SXH5 movement, state-of-the-art automatic caliber. It features a refined micro-rotor architecture, allowing a plunging view on the mechanism, a power reserve of up to 60 hours and exceptional finishing visible through the sapphire case back.
