Singer Reimagined DualTrack: A Bold New Take on the GMT Complication
Singer Reimagined has expanded its portfolio of high-performance timepieces with the launch of the DualTrack. Moving beyond its established expertise in chronographs, the brand has introduced its first twin time zone GMT watch, designed specifically for the modern, globally connected traveler who requires an intuitive way to track two locations simultaneously.
Redefining the Dual-Time Experience
The DualTrack departs from traditional GMT designs that often rely on cluttered sub-dials or additional hands that can be easily mistaken for local time. Instead, Singer applies its “form follows function” philosophy to create a more immediate reading experience. Local time is displayed centrally with traditional hour, minute, and seconds hands, although the second time zone is tracked via a peripheral 24-hour disc.
This anodized aluminium disc continuously orbits the dial and is read at the 6 o’clock position using an orange indicator. To ensure the watch remains practical for frequent travelers, a discreet corrector on the left side of the case allows the wearer to adjust the 24-hour disc in one-hour increments with a single press.
Technical Specifications and Craftsmanship
At the heart of the DualTrack is the exclusive Calibre 4 DT (Dual Time). This new four-barrel manual-winding movement is a significant milestone for the brand, offering an impressive six-day power reserve.
Case and Dial Details
- Dimensions: The watch features a 43 mm x 15 mm stainless steel case.
- Finish: The case combines circular brushing with mirror-polished chamfers and includes openworked lugs for a sporty aesthetic.
- Dial: A velvet black dial with a tone-on-tone chequered chapter ring and a circular-brushed golden flange for minutes and seconds.
- Visibility: Rhodium-plated hands are filled with orange Super-LumiNova, and the central seconds hand is finished in Singer orange with a golden cabochon.
- Protection: A domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating protects the face.
Available Models and Pricing
The DualTrack is available in two distinct versions, distinguished by the color of the anodized aluminium 24-hour disc: Meridian Green (ref. SR511-2) and Horizon Red (ref. SR511-4). Both models are priced at CHF 22,500 (ex. VAT).

- Innovative Display: Uses a peripheral 24-hour disc instead of a traditional GMT hand or sub-dial.
- Power Reserve: Manual-winding Calibre 4 DT provides six days of autonomy.
