ABOVE AND BEYOUND

An overbuilt, mechanically complex, yet simplified timepiece developed for all diving functionalities, including the time before and after a dive, unlike other dive watches in the market. To add to that, the Singer Divetrack is the only mechanical diving chronograph ever built.

It was in 1932 that Omega first made diving watches commercially available. Called Marine, it featured a patented double case sealed with cork and had a tested water resistance of 135 metres. Now, 92 years later, Singer Reimagined takes a giant leap forward with the new Divetrack, the first mechanical chronograph dive watch that offers the functions of a dive computer, but unlike a dive computer, works even after the dive is completed.

The Divetrack, from Singer Reimagined, made its debut in April this year, and has been the most talked-about release by the brand so far. This diving watch moved things around in a genre where innovation largely comes by way of increased water resistance and material development. In the Divetrack, Singer Reimagined has developed an automatic 24-hour chronograph function, set in the centre of the dial, to address the activity of diving in a holistic way, making it the primary function of the watch, and everyday timekeeping, showcased on the side of the case, the secondary one.
