Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can the Squale 1521 go, and is it a real dive watch?
Yes — the 1521 Black Blasted (ref. 1521BKBL.PC) is rated to 500 metres, with a screw-in crown, screw-in caseback and a monodirectional timing bezel, which is the genuine dive-watch specification rather than a styling exercise. The black dial uses Super-LumiNova C3 for legibility at depth. The one caveat is the strap, not the watch: it ships on an Italian-made leather strap, which isn't intended for immersion. If you plan to actually dive or swim in it, fit a 20mm rubber strap or the steel bracelet and keep the leather for dry wear.
Is the Sellita SW200-1 a good movement?
It's a Swiss-made automatic that shares its architecture with the long-serving ETA 2824-2, running at 4Hz with 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve. Squale specifies the Élaboré grade here, which is regulated to a tighter tolerance than Sellita's base Standard grade. Its real advantage is practical: it's one of the most widely used mechanical calibres in Swiss watchmaking, so parts are readily available and any competent watchmaker can service it — which matters far more over twenty years of ownership than a movement name.
Will a 42mm Squale 1521 fit my wrist?
The 1521 wears noticeably smaller than its 42mm diameter suggests, because the lug-to-lug measurement is only 48mm and the case is 12.5mm thick. That short lug span is the reason it suits wrists from around 6.5 inches upward, where many 42mm divers overhang. The 20mm lug width also means you can change the look completely with an off-the-shelf strap.
