Czapek Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue
Czapek has introduced the Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue, a new limited edition watch featuring a unique blue fumé translucent sapphire dial created through a vapor deposition metallic coating process. This technique allows the skeletonized Calibre SXH7 movement to be visible while creating a subtle gradient effect. The watch updates the design with solid Super-LumiNova hour markers, offering a sleeker aesthetic than its predecessor.

The blue fumé gradient on the sapphire dial is achieved by applying a metallic coating to its underside using vapor deposition, creating microscopic dots that vary in density to form the gradient.
Unlike the previous Viridian Green edition, the Aqua Blue features solid Super-LumiNova batons for hour markers, which are less obtrusive and blend with the dial.
The skeletonized Calibre SXH7 movement is an evolution of the SXH5, with redesigned bridges and reversed escapement to maximize visibility from the dial side.
The movement's seven openworked bridges are angled to reference the architecture of 19th-century Czapek pocket watches.
The micro-rotor is machined from 100% recycled platinum and engraved on both faces.
The case design is understated with a smooth bezel and lugs, directing attention to the dial.
The watch is available with either a nubuck leather strap or a Milanese mesh bracelet.
