How the Singer Divetrack Automatic 24-h Central Chronograph enhances your dive
The Divetrack stands out with its Singer Central Automatic 24-h Chronograph, designed specifically to monitor the entirety of your diving session. The central sweeping seconds hand ensures continuous movement, while the prominent orange minute hand meticulously tracks your underwater adventure.

Before, During, After
The Divetrack is not just for underwater use. On the surface, especially during diving trips or extended stays at a diving site, the watch helps you manage your ‘surface intervals’. These intervals are crucial for allowing nitrogen absorbed during dives to dissipate safely from your body. With the chronograph still running, you can accurately gauge the length of your surface intervals and plan your subsequent dives accordingly.

Singer Divetrack Automatic 24-h Central Chronograph – Multiple functional tool
The Central Sub-Counter is an exceptional multifunctional tool featuring 3 zones:
CHILL (0h-6h): This zone helps you determine the surface interval before your next dive based on factors like previous dive duration, depth, and frequency.
DIVE (6h-18h): Indicates when you are clear to dive again after fulfilling the required surface interval.
FLY (18h-24h): Post-dive, this zone highlights the safe window before flying to avoid health risks such as pulmonary embolism. As per PADI guidelines, you must wait at least 18 hours after your last dive before flying.
Starting your dive with the Divetrack
Preparing for your dive is effortless. Upon gearing up, simply activate the diving chronograph by pressing the ‘Start’ button at 2 o’clock. Its red pusher guard, preventing from accidental activations ensure security and ease too use. During your dive, the main interaction with your watch involves adjusting the unidirectional bezel for decompression timing.

Subtle time-of-day indications
Even in the midst of adventure, keeping track of the day’s time is effortless. Under the rotating bezel, a discrete Singer signature ceramic disk, illuminated with luminescent figures and indexes, subtly reveals the time. This 12-hour disk provides an unobtrusive yet clear indication of time as it progresses.

Technical mastery
The Divetrack is a marvel of engineering. It features a sturdy 300-meter (1,000-feet) waterproof case made from Grade 5 Titanium for lightness, complemented by a marine-grade stainless steel turning bezel and caseback.
Its unique sandwich structure incorporates an unprecedented use of sapphire crystals — three in total — for optimal dial visibility, movement showcase, and frontal visibility of the hour disk.

Form follows function
Ensuring operational safety, the watch boasts double O-ring push-buttons and a screw-down winding crown, all waterproof to 300 meters (1,000 feet). The ‘Start/Stop’ pusher at 2 o’clock is safeguarded against unintentional activation by a red-guard ceramic-coated protector. The ‘Reset’ pusher at 10 o’clock is cleverly designed to prevent accidental usage, only functioning when the chronograph is stopped. Positioned within the watch-case profile, these pushers are shielded from external impact.
The helium escape valve ensures the watch’s functionality in case of saturation dive by allowing trapped helium to escape during decompression, protecting the watch from potential damage.
The Divetrack comfortably accommodates both daily wear and diving suit compatibility. It comes with interchangeable rubber and Velcro technical straps, easily switched using traditional spring bars.
In conclusion, the Divetrack is unparalleled as the world’s first-ever mechanical diving chronograph. With its innovative movement architecture and design that prioritises function, it represents Singer’s ultimate vision in diving watch technology—a pinnacle of practical, high-end mechanics for the diving connoisseur.

Unidirectional turning bezel
As your dive concludes, the unidirectional turning bezel becomes essential for calculating necessary decompression times. The minute hand aggregates the total duration of your dive, including decompression, providing comprehensive and precise information at a glance.
The unidirectional turning bezel presents a decompression scale, allowing divers to calculate their decompression stops at a glance. The 60-minute ceramic aluminium ring, a high-performance composite material resistant to shocks and scratches, features Super-LumiNova® filled indications and a luminescent applied index at 12h.

Improved legibility
The black matte dial base enhances contrast and readability underwater.
The highest-performing grade of Super-LumiNova® amplifies luminosity even in the darkest depths. This extremely reliable phosphorescent material is applied to the Divetrack hands and markers. Dial graphics are also executed in Super-LumiNova® decal.
The daytime indication ring is executed in ceramic aluminium to guarantee the lightest weight and stiffness for optimal operations. This material also provides the highest contrast to the Super-LuminNova® filled figures and indexes, milled directly in the mass.
The applied triangular index at 6h provides a striking and unmistakable readability of daytime, both in daylight and in the darkest light conditions.
Material combination
The watch case is executed in Grade 5 Titanium. This material offers the best performance in terms of mechanical and corrosion resistance and an extremely interesting weight-to-volume ratio.
Each other external part has been produced in a variety of marine-grade stainless steels, each chosen for its specific properties depending on the precise component features and functionality. The combination of these materials optimises strength, dimensions, and weight, allowing for exceptional wearability despite the timepiece’s important dimensions.
All components of the watch case are microblasted to reduce disturbing light reflections and focus on the timepiece’s essential and vital diving information.
The pusher-protection pivoting device, finished with a guard-red ceramic coating, guarantees extreme resistance to scratches and chocks while highlighting its functional importance.

At its heart lies a robust power reserve of 72 hours, propelling Singer’s Automatic 24-hour central chronograph that impresses with jumping hours, minutes, and a smoothly sweeping seconds hand.
This exquisite mechanism operates on the precision of a Swiss Lever escapement, humming at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), stabilised by a flat balance wheel equipped with an AgenPit regulator.
Labelling the AgenGraphe as «a revolutionary movement» barely scratches the surface. It is a testament to Singer’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation, reimagining not just the chronograph’s function but its very purpose.
