Squale Master Titanium 120 ATM

Introducing the Squale Master Titanium 120 ATM, the story of the Squale Master is set to continue in 2024 in honour of the brand’s 65^th anniversary celebrations, but the origins of the revered timepiece document back to the 60’s. As any dive watch enthusiast will know, the early 1960’s was a pivotal period for diving. The watches crafted during that time were a crucial tool, with divers relying on them to guarantee safe diving.

With the popularity of free diving increasing worldwide and famed divers such as Enzo Maiorca and Jacques Mayol competing to reach ever greater depths, Charles von Büren (founder of Squale) set the brand an ambitious goal that aimed to contribute to this challenge and thus, the Squale-Master line was conceived. Exceptionally technical yet user-friendly, Büren created the model to achieve a pressure resistance of 100 ATM.

The one-of-a-kind dial has been built on three levels, with the first level disk consisting entirely of Super LumiNova Old Radium with a second perforated dial applied atop it. Known as a “sandwich” dial, the third and final disc consists of the applied indexes that outline the holes of the dial, with a brushed finish to align seamlessly with the hands and the case.

Crafted with 4mm thick glass and a helium escape valve, the new Squale Master Titanium is now equipped to reach depths up to 120 ATM. Perfect readability underwater is guaranteed thanks to the application of SuperLumiNova to all numbering and SuperLumiNova Old Radium has been utilised on the bezel, dial, and hands. This allows the new iteration to maintain a similar look to the vintage Squale Masters of the 1960’s when tritium provided luminescence.

About The Brand

Squale has been manufacturing professional dive watches since 1959. Back then dive watches were just emerging as a new category of tool watch, and Squale quickly established itself as a quality manufacturer of these crucial pieces of equipment.

As a result, Squale watches were worn by many record-breaking divers. In 1967 Enzo Maiorca achieved an immersion record using a Squale Master. And, in 1970 Jacques Mayol set a historic immersion record in Japan, reaching a depth of 76 meters wearing a Squale watch on his wrist.

Today Squale continues to produce many models of dive watches. All of which are professional tools able to withstand the rigours of life in the ocean.
