The Antarctic Spider – A Daring Design Icon Returns A bold reinterpretation of a rare 1970s model, the Antarctic Spider is unlike anything else in the world of vintage-inspired watchmaking. Its defining feature? A mesmerizing sunray silver-white dial, crisscrossed by eight “spider legs” radiating from vertically applied indexes – an eccentric, graphic design that instantly commands attention.
