Czapek Antarctique Green Meteor.
You know the Czapek Antarctique. It is regularly posted here.
But did you know about the Antarctique Green Meteor?
Czapek cut a slice of the Gibeon Meteorite, lacquered it in green, then polished it.
The outcome is quite cool, I must say. Even if, in order to match with the dial, I would have used a hue of blue. But the outcome is quite appealing. AND... This version doesn't have a date!
The case is in steel, 40, 5 mm big, 10, 6 mm high, and has the good taste to be water resistant to 120 meters and to have a screw-down crown, which is appropriate for a sports or an adventure watch.
The steel bracelet has a micro adjustment and a quick release system, which will allow you to play with the calf or rubber strap provided with the watch.
The backside is a pleasure for the eyes, as you can admire the superb automatic movement and its micro rotor ( made in platinum ) which beats at the pace of 28, 800 alternances per hour and offers a good autonomy of 60 hours.
The finishing is superb, with its sandblasted bridges and bevellings.
It is a limited edition of 100 pieces, which sadly comes at a certain price: Count a good 30, 000 Euros in France, taxes included.
Best,
Nicolas

Awesome.
But I'll take that Tonda meteorite, literally and figuratively, with most of the same features, for one third of the money....
The way I see it,
The only thing superior with this watch is the WR that is on par with the Overseas, which I'd rather have for that amount of money anyway....
I have the skeleton on order and hope to get it sometime in Nov/Dec.
The brand has expanded production from hundreds to thousands per year so we can expect to see more iterations of everything from them...lets see....
Great looking meteorite dial 👌🏻 😘
I Like the watch but never pushed me that much to get one tbh .
Would not kick it out of bed...
I'd like to get this one at 50% off, after the first guy changes his mind three days in... I can't commit to any watch that give some morning after fears... but I can still acknowledge this is very cool
