Description

What’s so special

The Squale 1521 is a professional-grade dive watch, recognizable for its striking blue dial and bezel. Its stainless steel case is robust and polished, built for durability and water resistance up to 500 meters (50 ATM), making it ideal for diving and underwater adventures. The watch features a screw-down crown located at the 4 o’clock position to prevent it from digging into the wrist, which enhances comfort for daily wear or during intense diving sessions.

The vibrant blue dial, complemented by the orange minute hand and the luminous hour markers, ensures excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The 120 click uni-directional rotating bezel, also in blue with a 60-minute scale, adds to its functionality for tracking dive times. This model has a clean, no-nonsense design with a date window located at 3 o’clock. Paired with a matching blue rubber strap, this Squale 1521 is a perfect blend of style and performance.

This watch is powered by the reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. This Swiss-made movement is a workhorse in the watch industry, known for its durability, accuracy, and ease of maintenance. It features 25 jewels to reduce friction and wear on its moving parts, which helps increase its longevity and performance. The ETA 2824-2 operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), or 4Hz, allowing for smooth sweeping motion of the seconds hand. It also offers a power reserve of approximately 38-40 hours, meaning the watch can continue to run for over a day and a half without needing to be wound or worn. The movement includes hacking seconds, allowing for precise time-setting, and also features a quick-set date function.
