DESCRIPTION

The “1521” is the iconic collection of the Squale and it takes its name from the original production reference that Von Buren gave to this case in the 1960s and which, even today, has remained faithful to the original. Designed and created by Charles Von Büren in the period in which the diving watch born, with its 50 atmospheres of pressure resistance, it guarantees peace of mind to all underwater exploration lovers up to a depth of 500 meters below sea level. The position of the crown at four o'clock has become one of the symbols of the Squale brand over the years. This is not a purely aesthetic detail but was designed in this way to prevent any accidental impacts during diving from risking unscrewing it, putting the watch out of action. The non-slip, one-way, 120-click knurled bezel guarantees safety in every dive: the choice of 120 clicks allows you to adjust the dive time with maximum precision to always have the autonomy of the oxygen tanks under control. By aligning the bezel with the minute hand at the exact moment of the dive, the watch will always allow you to know the time spent in the water and, consequently, how many minutes of oxygen autonomy the tanks have. The minute hand is the most important for a diver, as it allows to monitor the residual oxygen autonomy inside the tanks; this is the reason why it is essential that it can be easily distinguished from all the others thanks with a different colour, designed to make it better stand out. The choice of orange is not random: it is in fact the color that is best seen in conditions of poor visibility due to the lack of light.
