Crossroads Victory Green

AT THE CROSSROADS OF SPORT AND ELEGANCE

Produced in a limited edition of just 18 pieces, the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph embodies Czapek’s vision of contemporary haute horlogerie. Crafted in 316L steel, its 41.5 mm case balances sporting presence with timeless refinement. The Victory Green dial, enhanced by a deep guilloché motif, reveals shifting nuances of color depending on the light, reinforcing both legibility and character. Designed as a truly versatile chronograph, it transitions effortlessly from dynamic pursuits to formal occasions, expressing a rare harmony between performance, elegance, and modern watchmaking culture.

A CASE DESIGNED FOR MOTION

The steel case of the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph is engineered to support an active complication without compromising comfort or aesthetics. Water-resistant to 5 ATM, it is visually lightened through sandblasted recesses on the flanks and carefully sculpted lugs. The chronograph pushers are seamlessly integrated into the crown guard, reinforcing the watch’s fluid lines. Every element serves a purpose, resulting in a chronograph conceived for daily wear—robust yet elegant, sporty yet discreet—perfectly aligned with Czapek’s philosophy of “versatile sportiness.”

A SIGNATURE DIAL WITH PURPOSE

The dial of the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph is a defining element of its identity. Crafted by Metalem, Czapek’s historic dial partner, it features a reinterpreted “Double Soleil” guilloché, engraved deeper and straighter to evoke the tread of a sports car tire. The tachymeter scale, placed on the dial’s periphery, recalls the golden age of speed measurement while enhancing functionality. Recessed counters with diamond-polished edges and discreet azurage ensure optimal legibility, blending technical sophistication with visual harmony.

HIGH-FREQUENCY PRECISION

At the heart of the Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph beats the SXH3 integrated high-frequency automatic caliber, developed by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier and adapted to Czapek’s exacting standards. Oscillating at 5 Hz, this COSC-certified chronometer delivers 1/10th-second precision, enhanced shock resistance, and exceptional stability in action. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the openworked, hand-finished movement is complemented by a skeletonized 22-carat pink gold rotor, providing nearly 65 hours of power reserve and a truly immersive mechanical experience.

THE MOVEMENT

Czapek’s first chronograph is driven by a bespoke automatic movement, the SXH3. It delivers 65 hours power reserve from a single barrel that drives the balance wheel at 36,000 vph and is COSC certified.

The movement makes use of some of the most advanced and effective mechanical elements, like the linear hammer, which reduces wear and tear on parts and resets all the associated dials in one easy movement. A modern solution, the vertical clutch, ensures a perfect start for the chronograph hand. Finally, the diamond-blasted anthracite bridges give the final aesthetic twist to the movement visible through the transparent case back.

DIAMETER 41,5 MM

This watch has a diameter of 41.5 mm. The proportions of a watch are always very subjective, but we recommend this piece if you have a wrist circumference greater than 16.5 cm. Don't hesitate to contact us or one of our retailers for more advice or simply trying it “in the metal”!

AUTOMATIC WINDING

Thanks to its large central rotor in recycled 18-carat gold, this timepiece can be wound by the movement of your wrist (or your winder if you change your watch regularly).

WATER RESISTANCE

This watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it can be immersed in everyday activities (but you can't swim with it). We don't recommend baths and showers unless you like them cold!

CHRONOGRAPH: NEVER MISS A PERFECTLY COOKED EGG!

The Chronograph function serves to measure short times using at least one additional hand. The latter can be started, stopped and reset to zero without disturbing the smooth running of the movement, by means of a control system, generally composed of pushbuttons. (©FHH)

65 HOURS POWER RESERVE

This timepiece has a 65-hour power reserve. A power-reserve indicator tells you when it's time to wind your watch.

3 YEARS WARRANTY

Every Czapek timepiece goes through rigorous quality controls and extensive testing. Therefore, all our watches sold through our official retail partners or directly come with a 3-year international product warranty.
