A Superstar model with the strangest dial
Beneath a domed double-domed sapphire crystal, a superb salmon-hued dial and 8 slim baton indexes applied vertically, connected by 8 lines converging at the center. The term used to designate this particular iteration of the Antarctic is not a cryptic sobriquet coined by collectors: it literally jumps at you the second you lay eyes on the ‘spider’ squarely sitting on the dial. An inspired design, sophisticated, eccentric, graphic, polarizing and eye-catching – that, and the salmon dial, is what makes this reissue so charming. There's nothing like it. The name says it all, no need to draw a picture – the conversation starts all by itself.
The Antarctic Spider comes in a polished and brushed silver stainless steel case, 38mm in diameter and 11.1 mm thick. The dial is topped by a double-domed sapphire crystal, almost as resistant as diamond, protecting it from everyday shocks and scratches. A screw-down crown at 3 o'clock affords control of the dial’s 3 hands. Its screw-in case back makes it water-resistant to 100 meters (10 atmospheres). At 3 o'clock, the date window; at 9 o'clock, the brand signature. And at the heart, a Swiss-made, self-winding SOPROD P024 movement brings the timepiece's hands to life. The Antarctic Spider is available with ten different straps, each with a silvered buckle.
