The Limited Edition, an independent watch specialist retailer based in the UK, has announced its latest collaboration with Singer Reimagined, an innovative young watch company. The collaboration has resulted in the creation of a spectacular limited edition watch called the Flytrack ‘On The Road’.
Inspired by the coast-to-coast road trip across the United States, the watch’s design is a celebration of the great rite of passage and adventure that comes with it. The Flytrack ‘On The Road’ edition features striking aesthetics and cool, sleek styling with a vivid orange detail against a backdrop of matte black and anthracite grey. The watch’s barrel-shaped case, brushed and polished metal surfaces, and black textile strap further accentuate its sporty and highly technical personality.
The watch is equipped with Singer Reimagined’s proprietary Flytrack Calibre AG6364 manual winding movement, which was developed in association with Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team at Agenhor. The movement features a central second hand that converts into an on-demand sixty-second flyback pointer with a push-button instant reset. This makes it one of the most innovative and ingenious reinventions of the chronograph complication in over two hundred years.
The Flytrack On The Road edition is a masterclass in modern-day design and is contemporary yet clearly informed by the classic sports watch designs of the sixties and seventies. The watch’s segmented dial features a revolving matte black ceramic aluminum ring around its outer edge with a luminous orange triangle to indicate the hours, providing crisp at-a-glance legibility in all light conditions. The orange rehaut doubles as a reference for the hours as well as for the semi-skeletonized minutes hand, which is also accented with a luminous orange insert.
The watch’s third hand is the Flytrack’s focal point and serves two purposes. In regular use, it can be used as a sweeping constant seconds pointer, complementing the minute and hour indicators. However, by depressing the pusher at the two o’clock position, the hand instantly resets to zero, and then, when the pusher is released, it takes off to time a short event of under sixty seconds. The Flytrack’s flyback pointer resets and restarts via a heart-shaped cam, enabling the on-demand timing of consecutive, back-to-back events.
The Flytrack On The Road edition is a strictly limited production of ten numbered pieces. Each example features a solid 18ct gold numeral embedded into the topside of the case, just off the five o’clock position. The watch is presented on a durable high-tech fabric strap with orange stitching, which is secured on the wrist with a stainless steel folding clasp.
The Flytrack On The Road edition is a fabulous piece of contemporary watch design and a profound technical innovation. It is available for purchase exclusively through The Limited Edition.
