Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Squale 1521 special?

The Squale 1521 is one of the brand’s most iconic dive watch designs. Its case shape goes back to a 1960s Charles Von Büren design, and the series has stayed close to that original professional diver look. The Squale 1521 collection is the workhorse of this premium brand of dive watches. Another special feature of the Squale 1521 series is the 120-click bezel. The one-way 120-click bezel is easy to grip and lets you time a dive accurately. Simply line up the triangle on the bezel with the minute hand to track elapsed time safely underwater.

Is the Squale 1521 a real Swiss dive watch?

Yes. Squale is known for Swiss-made diving watches, and the 1521 is built as a serious automatic dive watch rather than just a diver-style watch. Many 1521 models offer 500m water resistance, sapphire crystal and Swiss automatic movement. An additional feature of the Squale 1521 collection is the Orange minute hand. The Orange minute hand provides maximum visibility in extreme conditions. Its features like these along with the 120-click bezel that make the Squale 1521 series a true dive watch.

Is the Squale 1521 suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, if you like a solid, premium diver. It has the strength and water resistance of a professional dive watch, but the 42mm case, clean dial options and Swiss automatic movement also make it easy to wear as a daily watch. The designs in the series include steel bracelets and leather straps and they are all designed for daily wear. The clean and neat dials with nothing extra also lend themselves to daily wear

Why is the crown at 4 o’clock on the Squale 1521?

The 4 o’clock crown is part of the classic Squale 1521 design. It helps the watch sit more comfortably on the wrist and has become one of the signature details people recognise on Squale divers. The crown placement was designed to avoid accidental knocks in case the crown was unscrewed. The crown at the 4o’clock marker also makes the watch suitable to wear daily as it does not dig into the hand to the same degree as compared to a traditional 3 o’clock set up.

Is the Squale 1521 worth buying?

If you want a premium Swiss automatic diver with genuine brand history, the 1521 makes a lot of sense. You’re getting Squale’s dive-watch heritage, Swiss manufacturing, strong water resistance and a design that has been around for decades. Unlike other mass-market Swiss brands, Squale manufactures a limited number of watches every year. The entire production of Squale watches equals less than 6000 units a year so it ranks up there in terms of rarity.
