Jewellery & Watch News
Our giant family of luxury watch brands continues to grow and one of our newest members is Squale watches. Since they were first founded in 1950, Squale watches and their iconic shark logo has come to mean only one thing: professional diving watches for professional divers. The history of dive watches would not be complete without this unique brand who after some industry silence has revived their collections and gained well-deserved recognition for their stunning vintage inspired timepieces.
The Squale name was first established back in the mid 1900’s where they produced watches and watch cases for other Swiss brands who didn’t have the knowledge or experience to build their own. Alongside manufacturing watch elements, Squale also created a range of dive watches under their own name. These extraordinary instruments were highly regarded by professional divers all over the world and were particularly recognisable for the iconic 50 Atmos case which showcased a distinctive crown at the 4 o’clock. Today we will be exploring some of the latest Squale watch collections in detail so you can find the perfect diver’s timepiece for your underwater adventures!
Squale Matic Watches
The Squale Matic watch collection brings back to life the original Squalematic dive watches from the 1970's renowned for their domed acrylic crystal and crown either in 3 or 4 o’clock position. These new 600 metre water resistant dive watches measure to 44mm in size and revive the vintage aesthetic alongside some modern improvements including the Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, double domed sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment and stunning bakelite bezels with multifaceted steel markers hand-set into the bakelite.
