Czapek Debuts the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Chronograph in Victory Green

Summary

• Czapek released an 18-piece limited steel chronograph featuring a tire-tread inspired “Victory Green” guilloché dial
• Features include a tachymeter scale, recessed counters and COSC-certified SXH3 high-frequency caliber, geared with a 65-hour power reserve and comes with calfskin or Alcantara straps

Czapek & Cie has unveiled the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph, an 18-piece limited edition chronograph that balances high-end horology with an adventurous, sporty spirit.

Housed in a 41.5 mm stainless steel case, the timepiece spotlights a dial with“Double Soleil” guilloché motif that’s produced by the brand’s historic partner, Metalem. Described by CEO Xavier de Roquemaurel as suitable “from marathon to evening wear,” the reference is finished in a striking “Victory Green” hue achieved through PVD treatment, the dial integrates a tachymeter scale on the periphery, recessed counters with diamond-polished edges and a discreet small seconds display at 6 o’clock.

At the heart of the chronograph is Czapek’s SXH3 caliber, an integrated high-frequency automatic movement developed with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Operating at 36,000 vph the movement delivers 1/10th of a second precision, enhanced chronometric performance, and improved shock resistance.

Visible through the sapphire caseback, the caliber reveals sandblasted and anthracite-treated bridges, hand-beveled finishes, and a skeletonized 22k pink gold rotor with bi-directional winding, offering a 65-hour power reserve. Technical refinements such as a vertical clutch and linear hammers ensure smooth chronograph operation, while COSC certification underscores its accuracy and reliability.

Priced at CHF 32,000 (around $41,668 USD), the “Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph is available on a hand-sewn calfskin or Alcantara strap through official retailers and Czapek’s online boutique.
