Featuring a thickness of 16.15mm, the Squale Master Titanium 120ATM may seem substantial, but its mere 131 grams (bracelet included) ensure a surprisingly lightweight feel. This makes it exceptionally comfortable on my 18cm/7″ wrist. The 48.90mm Lug to Lug dimension seamlessly hugs the wrist, courtesy of the uniquely crafted “von Büren case,” paying homage to its founder Charles von Büren.
Squale Master — Vintage Aesthetics with Modern Twist
Embracing its heritage, the Master model features Swiss SuperLuminova Old Radium, reminiscent of the 1960s era, adorning the bezel, dial, and hands. The brushed ceramic bezel complements the retro vibe seamlessly.
The dial features a distinctive “sandwich dial” construction, comprising three layers. The first layer comprises a disk entirely coated in SuperLuminova, enhancing luminescence. On top of this, a second perforated dial is applied, optimizing the glow of the indexes. The final layer consists of applied indexes with a brushed finish, perfectly complementing the hands and case while outlining the perforations on the dial.
Achieving impressive 1200 meters water resistance
With an impressive water resistance of up to 1200 meters, the Squale Master 120 ATM Titanium is suitable for saturation divers operating in extreme depths. Reinforced by a 4mm thick glass and a Helium Escape Valve, this timepiece ensures great protection against water intrusion, even in the most extreme conditions. Such remarkable water resistance not only caters to the needs of professional divers but also underscores the watch’s reliability and suitability for exploring the profound depths of the underwater world.
