The Faubourg de Cracovie “Crossroads” Victory Green chronograph is a sharp expression of everything Czapek Cie stands for today: classical watchmaking, filtered through a distinctly modern, urban lens. Limited to just 18 pieces and crafted in 316L steel, it meges confident sportiness with understated elegance in a way few chronographs manage to pull off. Sized at a versatile 41.5 mm, the case is engineered for everyday wear, with refined sandblasted recesses, integrated chronograph pushers and 5 ATM water resistance.
The dial is finished in a rich Victory Green PVD. It’s deeply engraved “Double Soleil” guilloché pattern recalls the tread of a performance tyre, an intentional metaphor for momentum, precision and motion. The tachymeter is subtly relocated to the dial’s periphery, a historical nod that frees up center stage for texture and depth. Reworked sub-dials with diamond-polished edges and discreet azurage ensure strong legibility, while the small seconds and semi-instant jumping date integrate cleanly into the overall design.
Power comes from the SXH3 integrated automatic chronograph calibre, developed with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Beating at a high frequency of 5 Hz, COSC-certified and equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch, it delivers 1/10th-second precision, smoother chronograph engagement and a near-65-hour power reserve., all visible through the sapphire caseback.
