Singer Reimagined Heritage Empire Green: The Valjoux 236 refined
With the Heritage Empire Green, Singer Reimagined celebrates the timeless beauty of mechanical watchmaking and the craftsmanship of artisanal restoration. This exceptional piece – reference SR602 – pays tribute to an era when mechanical chronographs were built to last, and every caliber told a story.
At the heart of this watch beats the legendary Valjoux 236, a hand-wound chronograph movement with a column wheel. Fully restored to the highest standards, this caliber embodies a bridge between the excellence of yesterday and the demands of today. For collectors and discerning enthusiasts alike, this is a true timepiece artifact, imbued with memory and emotion.
The deep green lacquered dial, known as “Empire Green,” stands out with its dazzling finish, faceted applied hour markers, and iconic gold border. The contrast with the ecru markings ensures optimal readability while reinforcing the model’s refined, vintage character.
The 38.8 mm stainless steel case combines a sun-satin finish with mirror-polished chamfers, reinforcing its understated elegance. The transparent sapphire case back allows the restoration work on the movement to be admired, with each screw hand-polished and each bridge brushed to perfection.
This limited edition from the Heritage collection is for those seeking a rare, technical and meaningful chronograph. With the Singer Heritage Empire Green, the past regains its relevance – enhanced by a modern execution of the highest standards.
