The Valjoux 72 movement, a revered manual-winding column-wheel chronograph calibre, debuted in 1938 and was produced until 1974, powering chronographs from brands like Rolex, Breitling, and Heuer.
Singer's restoration of the Valjoux 72 includes frosting bridges, hand-polishing chamfers and screws, rhodium-plating steel parts, and applying a blue ALD treatment to the switch component.
The Heritage V72 case measures 38.8mm with a thickness of 13.25mm, featuring vintage piston-style pushers, glassbox sapphire crystals front and back, and a flat, fluted crown.
The steel model features a matte stone-grey dial with champagne-coloured sub-dials, while the gold model has a velvety matte black dial, both with applied golden faceted hour markers and openworked sword-shaped hands with orange luminescent inserts.
The steel edition is paired with a grey textile strap, and the yellow gold edition comes with a black grained leather strap, both 20mm tapering to 16mm with pin buckles.
