In the world of dive watches, where tradition often weighs heavier than innovation, Singer is shaking things up. With the launch of the Divetrack, this bold Swiss brand is rewriting the rules of underwater timekeeping. What does it bring to the table? An automatic 24-hour central chronograph, cutting-edge engineering, and the kind of meticulous attention to detail that makes even the most seasoned diver’s heart race.
Let’s dive deep (pun intended) into what makes the Divetrack an engineering marvel, without forgetting to have a little fun along the way.
The Ultimate Dive Companion
At first glance, the Divetrack might look like a conventional dive watch: robust, with a rotating bezel and luminescent markers that could probably light up a small room. But there’s a lot more going on beneath that titanium exterior. Singer has built the Divetrack not just as a dive watch, but as a complete diving toolkit. It doesn’t just tell time—it helps manage every aspect of your dive, before, during, and after.
This watch is powered by AgenGraphe, a central chronograph with 479 components and a 72-hour power reserve. Sounds complex? It is, but fear not. The Divetrack was designed with user-friendliness in mind. Activate the chronograph with a simple press of the start button, safely protected under a ceramic-coated cap to avoid accidental mishaps.
And that central chronograph? It’s not just a pretty face. It measures time with impressive precision, and even features three time zones specifically tailored for diving: Chill, Dive, and Fly—more on that later!
Chill, Dive, Fly: The Three Zones of the Divetrack
One of the most unique aspects of the Divetrack is its multifunctional central counter with three zones:
- CHILL (0h-6h): This area helps track surface intervals between dives—essential for allowing nitrogen to dissipate from your body safely.
- DIVE (6h-18h): Dive time monitoring is the bread and butter of any serious dive watch. This zone ensures you know when it’s safe to hit the depths again after your surface break.
- FLY (18h-24h): Not a clever name, but an important one. After diving, it’s essential to wait at least 18 hours before hopping on a flight to avoid decompression sickness. The Fly zone serves as your safety reminder.
In other words, the Divetrack does more than keep time—it manages your entire diving schedule.
Built to Withstand the Depths
When it comes to build quality, the Divetrack is tough enough to handle the pressures of serious diving (and probably a lot more). Titanium Grade 5 for the case keeps things light yet strong, while the marine-grade stainless steel bezel and helium valve ensure the watch can handle depths of up to 300 meters. If that’s not enough to impress, the sandwich construction with not one, but three sapphire crystals guarantees crystal-clear visibility of the dial and inner mechanics, even under extreme conditions.
But the real star of the show here is the bezel, which offers a unidirectional rotating mechanism made from ceramized aluminum. That’s high-tech speak for a shock-resistant, scratch-proof, luminescent ring that’s designed to last a lifetime.
Simple, Yet Advanced: Timekeeping at Its Best
Even when you’re deep underwater, the Divetrack ensures you won’t lose track of time—literally. Beneath the rotating bezel lies a ceramic disc with luminescent numerals and markers that shine brightly, no matter how dark the depths. The Super-LumiNova® on the hands and indices ensures optimal readability, even during night dives or in murky waters.
A Dive Watch for the 21st Century
Singer has once again proved its mastery by combining form and function seamlessly. The pushers, carefully integrated into the case, are protected from accidental activation by double O-rings and a screw-down crown, guaranteeing up to 1000 feet of water resistance. Meanwhile, the helium escape valve ensures the watch won’t be damaged during saturation dives—a feature that makes this timepiece indispensable for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Add in two interchangeable straps—one in rubber for everyday wear and one in Velcro® for wetsuits—and the Divetrack easily transitions from the depths of the ocean to the surface, and beyond.
