First launched back in the 60s, the Super Squale is still one of the most popular watches by Squale to date. The new Super Squale models still pay homage to the past, with a modern take on traditional skin divers.
The 316L stainless steel case has been designed to be as lightweight as possible, with a brushed finish and comfortable 38mm diameter to fit most wrist sizes. Despite the lack of weight, this watch has a very capable 200-meter water resistance rating.
Unlike the plexiglass crystals of the skin divers in the 60’s, the Super Squale is equipped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, which maintains the vintage charm of the skin diver without compromising on durability or legibility. The dial uses applied indices generously coated with old-radium Super-LumiNova.
Underneath the screw-in case back beats a Sellita SW 220-1 automatic movement, providing a power reserve of up to 38 hours.

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 watch. All of which are professional tools able to withstand the rigours of life in the ocean.
