Independent watch manufacture Singer Reimagined once again pushes the boundaries of contemporary high watchmaking with the launch of the new Singer Heritage V72 collection. On this occasion, the brand pays tribute to pure chronographic execution and the classic aesthetic of 1970s racing chronographs, reinterpreted through its radical, forward-thinking approach to mechanical design.
The new Heritage V72 translates the brand’s obsession with performance and instrumental legibility into two exclusive configurations: a stainless steel version (Stone-Gray SR621) limited to 50 pieces and a sophisticated 18-karat gold variant (Gold SR620-1) limited to just 29 pieces. Both executions seamlessly blend Singer’s signature design language with subtle nods to the golden era of motorsport and the rich history of the legendary Valjoux 72 caliber.
Cutting-Edge Design: Historical Nods and Singer DNA
The new Singer Heritage V72 masterfully captures the visual identity of the most iconic chronographs of the 1970s. Its architecture unites design elements unmistakably tied to Singer with details that pay homage to the heyday of racing chronographs and the heritage of the Valjoux 72. The dial comes in a refined stone gray finish or a warm gold-toned execution, featuring seamlessly integrated registers designed to prioritize instant central legibility of elapsed time.
🏁 A Touch of History: Singer Reimagined’s Chronographic Philosophy
Founded under the leadership of Rob Dickinson, Singer Reimagined was born with a clear mission: to reimagine mechanical icons of the past through 21st-century engineering. After disrupting the market with the acclaimed Agengraph central chronograph, the manufacture continues to explore the purity of traditional timekeeping complications, blending racing dashboard instrument styling with ultra-modern watchmaking architecture.
Case Architecture and «Glassbox» Sapphire Crystal
In terms of ergonomics, the Heritage V72 case features impeccably balanced proportions: a restrained 38.8 mm diameter and a total thickness of 13.25 mm, delivering exceptional presence and comfort on the wrist. Designed with a fluid, aerodynamically inspired silhouette, the case is available in durable stainless steel or an exclusive 18k gold alloy, featuring hand-brushed and polished finishes that accentuate its dynamic lines.
A standout feature of the front is the dramatic Glassbox-style sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, adding warm vintage volume and optimal legibility from any angle. On the reverse, the exhibition case back secured by screws reveals the intricate mechanical movement inside. Each timepiece features individual engravings certifying its place in a strictly limited run: only 50 units for the steel version and 29 units for the gold variant. The watch is completed with a technical perforated leather rally strap.
Mechanical Prestige: The Legendary Valjoux 72 Caliber
Beating at the heart of the timepiece is a true horological treasure: the historical, hand-wound Valjoux 72 caliber. This original vintage New Old Stock (NOS) mechanical motor—meticulously restored and decorated by hand in Singer Reimagined’s workshop—features a column-wheel architecture and horizontal clutch visible through the exhibition case back. Its construction ensures superlative accuracy and tactile activation when operating the chronograph pushers.
Low-light legibility is guaranteed by applied hands and indices treated with high-efficiency luminescent material. Backed by a 3-year official international warranty and scheduled for availability in November 2026, the Singer Heritage V72 establishes itself as one of the most exclusive mechanical and aesthetic achievements in contemporary watchmaking.
📦 Exclusive Presentation: Bespoke Collector’s Packaging
To complete this micro-engineering masterpiece, every Singer Heritage V72 is delivered in a custom-designed luxury presentation box. The set includes commemorative items and certified documentation hand-signed by Singer Reimagined artisans, further emphasizing its status as an exceptional collector’s item.
