Squale Master Comsubin in titanium gr.5
Squale, a pioneer in the diving watch sector, is proud to announce the launch of the Squale Master x Comsubin Divers; the first watch in Grade 5 Titanium from the Swiss maison, made in a limited edition in collaboration with the divers of ComSubIn (Divers and Raiders Command), an elite department of the Italian Navy.
The Comsubin Master x Divers watch will be available in a limited edition of 500 pieces, but only 420 will be on sale to the public as the first 80 are reserved for Comsubin divers themselves.
This extraordinary watch represents a significant step for Squale and underlines its commitment to producing high-quality tools for diving professionals. The Squale Master model is in fact one of the company's best-known models; it was launched for the first time in the 1960s, when it was immediately greatly appreciated by diving professionals such as Mallorca and Mayol, and was relaunched in 2022 with the Master Marina Militare model, also in a limited edition (of 300 examples).
The Comsubin Master X Divers has been carefully designed to meet the specific needs of professional divers. Grade 5 Titanium, known for its strength and lightness, gives the watch excellent performance in the most extreme conditions. The watch guarantees waterproofness up to 1200 meters deep thanks also to the presence of a helium valve and the unidirectional bezel, useful for measuring the immersion time and equipped with the triangle at 12 o'clock in SuperLuminova type BGW9.
On the dial (at 6 o'clock) the Divers' logo has been printed with the writing "COMSUBIN" above it, a distinctive element of one of the most famous and respected special departments of the Navy in the world. The blue stands out immediately: it is the prominent color of the Squale brand expressed in the shade of the Comsubin divers' uniform.
Finally, another peculiarity of the watch is the additional strap included in the kit, made with the same camouflage fabric supplied to divers, which goes alongside the rubber strap, an ideal companion for diving.
An elite watch for an elite military corps.
SHARK AND THE NAVY
The collaboration with the Italian Navy corps dates back to the 1980s, when Squale first became a supplier of professional diving watches for the military diving corps based in the port of La Spezia by winning two supply contracts.
In 2022 the partnership was renewed and Squale presented the Master Marina Militare model. A watch made in just 300 examples offered for sale on the market.
THE COMSUBIN DIVERS
The Comsubin (Divers and Raiders Command) is divided into two operational groups – the Divers (GOS – Gruppo Operativo Subacquei) and the Raiders (GOI – Gruppo Operativo Incursori).
While the G.O.I. raiders carry out special military operations, including the release of hostages and maritime counter-terrorism, the G.O.S. Divers they operate in all search, recovery and work operations on submerged artefacts, in the clearance of explosive devices and in the rescue of submarines in difficulty.
The Comsubin diving division is renowned throughout the world for its diving skills and its ability to collaborate with other national and international organisations. The Comsubin diving school is in fact also a training camp for divers from other armed forces, both Italian and foreign.
The Comsubin Divers are not only a team of divers certified for underwater operations up to 300 meters deep, but they are also qualified parachutists, with airdrop and air ambulance capabilities for the rescue of submarines damaged at sea, effectively making the G.O.S. capable of operating at 360° and considered a world leader.
The course to become a diver is very selective and lasts about a year. In various preparatory phases, the student is trained in the use of different types of breathing apparatus and diving equipment, acquiring the ability to conduct underwater work even with the use of explosives.
