1426 Faubourg de Cracovie "California Dreamin" SS Black Dial LIMITED

Color: Not selected
This Czapek and Cie Faubourg de Cracovie reference 1426 stands apart within the line as the "California Dreamin" edition, limited to 18 pieces. That short run gives this stainless steel chronograph a different place in the modern Czapek catalog, especially for a collector drawn to variant-led rarities rather than new calibers. Its automatic movement drives the chronograph, with the calendar left in the background where the model's identity remains strongest. The stainless steel case measures 41.5mm across and 13.8mm thick, a size that gives the watch real breadth without upsetting its balance on the wrist. Against that frame, the anthracite California dial, with its mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, sharpens the watch's graphic contrast and keeps the edition's character unusually direct. More than a simple dial change, this was Czapek using the Faubourg de Cracovie platform to explore how far a fixed design could be pushed through color, restraint, and scarcity alone.
