Czapek & Cie Faubourg de Cracovie SS "Sockeye" Salmon Dial

The Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie “Sockeye” is a limited‑edition chronograph introduced in 2019, one of just 18 pieces crafted with a salmon‑coloured guilloché dial in Czapek’s exclusive “Résonance” pattern, produced by Metalem. Housed in a 41.5 mm stainless steel case with integrated chronograph pushers and a sapphire box crystal, it is powered by the high‑frequency, COSC‑certified automatic calibre SXH3, developed by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, offering 36,000 vph and a 65‑hour power reserve. The case back reveals finely sand‑blasted and diamond‑polished anthracite bridges with snailed trottoirs, a column‑wheel chronograph with vertical clutch and linear hammer—a modern haute horlogerie movement architecture. With 50 meter water resistance, it balances sporty presence with refined finishing. The striking salmon dial with rich blue subdials and blued steel hands elevates the visual impact, while the limited production run and independent manufacture pedigree make it a compelling acquisition for seasoned collectors. This is a chronograph that speaks to both technical sophistication and aesthetic rarity, anchored in Czapek’s heritage and contemporary execution.
