I see a few very interesting changes. For one, it looks like the bracelet is all brushed. The red looks 'muted' to better match titanium. Also, a new matching red rubber strap. Bravo Czapek!

Damn. I’m a sucker for no date and titanium. I would have asked my AD to switch my order but received word my watch is on way to AD. Congrats to those that got one of the 100

Looks fantastic. The price premium over the Passage de Drake seems steep, but it’s an undeniably beautiful design.

Looks great, but not more than the one I ordered. The price is steep, but at this range, it is what it is.

Love everything about the brand except one thing that ruin it all... the name and logo looks like a cheap Eastern European cigarettes brand...

Love the font and name. Very clean, easy on the eye, bold yet slender.
Though yes, font art is a personal preference.

It seems the new limited edition titanium has chamfers on the bracelet. Interesting and welcome change.
Hi Mike, do you know if this change will only be limited to this reference or will be part of all 40.5mm models from now on? |

I’m not seeing any chamfering in the monochrome hands on:
https://monochrome-watches.com/czape...w-specs-price/ On Czapek’s site, I do see one pic that shows chamfering but then another pic that doesn’t. Maybe it will be an option? |

Sorry if this was already discussed but does anyone know when orders will be take for the 38.5 Drake? The website says ‘order’ but goes to a page that says orders are closed. I don’t want to miss out when orders open. I’m celebrating an important work milestone and I’ve spent a year trying to choose the perfect watch. And I keep going back to this model. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
We actually have not yet received a real titanium bracelet, the photos were done with a brushed steel bracelet. Fingers crossed for the Ti one before the fair starts in 10 days. There will NOT be bracelet chamfering on any 40.5, this is a design element put into the 38.5 because of the removal of case side features. In addition, we will not be offering this as a bespoke option. From the factory: Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer this kind of manipulation of the 40.5mm watch case. It is simply too complex and would involve a disproportionate amount of effort and development Sorry for the incorrect photo on IG; clearly someone put an Antarctique S bracelet on the Dark Matter for the photoshoot. When you don't have the real product yet, you improvise. |

The micro adjustment is cool though. I would imagine that they will be able to offer that as a retrofit for older models (especially considering that the bracelet shown is actually steel). Any insight Mr. Margolis?
