Czapek is celebrating Sincere Fine Watches' 70th anniversary, its retailer in South-East Asia, and unveils a remarkable limited edition timepiece: the Antarctique S Mirrored Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, featuring a two-tone case and bracelet, along with a silicon wafer dial.

The case is crafted from stainless steel, complemented by a yellow gold bezel and crown protectors all the way to the bracelet’s link. It measures 38.5mm in diameter and 10.6mm in thickness including the glass-box sapphire crystal. The timepiece features a screw-down crown and offers a water resistance of 120 meters. On the caseback, a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on the inner side reveals the Sincere Fine Watches 70th Anniversary Commemorative Logo.

This mirrored dial, created in collaboration with dial maker MD’Art, marks a first for Czapek. It is crafted from a single silicon wafer—a material commonly used in microelectronics and photovoltaics. The wafer, made of crystalline silicon, is polished to achieve a flawlessly smooth and shiny surface. A fine PVD coating of platinum is then applied, enhancing the reflective properties of the silicon and giving the dial its distinctive, lustrous appearance.

The rhodium-plated indexes on the dial are coated with SuperLumiNova, which emits a blue glow in low-light conditions. Additionally, the sword-shaped hands are treated with a luminescent material, ensuring that both the indexes and hands are highly visible even in darkness.

The watch is powered by the calibre SXH5, an in-house automatic movement with a platinum micro-rotor, operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering a 56-hour power reserve. It features an integrated stainless steel bracelet with yellow gold links and a folding clasp. Limited to 38 pieces, the watch is available exclusively at Sincere Fine Watch Boutiques, priced at 48,800 Singapore Dollars, equivalent to AED 138,500.
