Silver grey…

I have the silver grey iteration of this one since beginning of the year and after some problem it is now working well - a real stunner!







Although the case is larger than this of the Antarctique Passage de Drake 3hander, bracelet and straps are the same, so you can even interchange between these should you have a Passage de Drake too 😉

Czapek Rattrapante Chronograph Ice Blue.

42, 5mm steel case, automatic movement ( probably made by Vaucher ) LE of 99 pieces. Nice looking sport chic Chronograph, in my opinion. I especially appreciate the fact that we can admire the double column wheel movement ( at 6 and 1é o'clock ) from the ...  

stunning in deed....the movement is eye pleasing too but still maintaining the readability of time or sub-counters

in recent times I see few brands adapt the design language to bring the movement more visually prominent - I like this though personally I might not enjoy wearing an open work. I wonder if the Kari Voutilainen 28Ti was first to kick off the trend ? Best, ... 

How does this one compare in your opinion to the MB 16.26?

I don't know anything about the shown watch tbh

Isn't it also, that this one is an opened dial (skeleton dial)

where you see the column wheel etc from the "wrong side" whilst 16.26 is flipped to see it fully from the decorated side?

Yep, true!

I don't think there can be a comparison - the Czapek, as nice as it is, has modular movement. Much easier to move a module to the top than invert a chrono.

Finishing, not even close. But integrated bracelet!!! Don't get me wrong, I like it. But the MB 16.26 is amazing value in comparison.

thanks for the technical explanation on this Czapek

agree on the value proposition of the 16.26

+1!

It impressed me a lot when i saw it first at GWDs last year and this new version is also very impressive imho. ...

The ratrapantte however is modular

Love this piece mon ami. You will be happy to know that 3 members of the Paris Watch Mafia will be getting this Ice Blue Rattrapante 😉. I believe delivery will start Q1 of 2023...
