At the Geneva Watch Days, which began on August 29, 2024, Czapek announced new Antarctic models with aventurine dials. The new models are called "Polar Sky" and "Flying Diamond," and are available in case sizes of 40.5mm and 38.5mm, respectively. Orders can be placed at authorized retailers worldwide, Geneva boutiques, and the Czapek official website, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
