The 1545 collection was designed for those who love every aspect of water sports. This versatile watch is the ideal companion for a day of intense activity in the water. With a resistance of up to 30 atmospheres of pressure (300 meters deep), it is both a precision tool and an elegant watch suitable for any underwater adventure. Launched in the 70s, the 1545 collection was originally produced on demand for numerous other brands when Squale was one of the first manufacturers of “water resistant” cases in the world.

Over the years, the Y1545 case (the collection takes its name from the serial production number of the case) has been manufactured in different sizes and with different finishes but without ever losing the characteristic style that continues to distinguish it to this day. The new models of the 1545 collection are immediately captivating.

The dials, inspired by the original 70s models, have been redesigned with a modern touch and feature intense colors and finishes with attention to the finest details. As with every Squale watch, safety and resistance are the fundamental features of each timepiece. For this reason, every model in the 1545 collection is equipped with a red rubberized gasket inside the screw-down crown. This gasket (the O-ring) allows you to tell at a glance if the crown is open or closed as the gasket is not visible when the crown is closed correctly.

BRAND PHILOSOPHY

Integrity, professionalism, experience, and passion. To make unique, inimitable watches, elegant, minimalist design and high-tech materials are not enough… the secret of Squale watches lies within, in the way they are designed and constructed: friends of the sea, because they are immune to brine, and faithful companions of the most demanding divers, because they are reliable, always.

HISTORY

The great Swiss tradition of precision watchmaking, combined with a love of the sea and diving, were the two factors that led C. Von Büren to work exclusively on the construction of professional divers watches from the early ’50s. Initially, the “Squale” mark appeared on the cases of Swiss watches of various makes, as a sign of fine production and a quality symbol. Then, in the ’60s, Von Büren started to produce watches that also had the Squale mark on their dials, starting the brand?s institutional and commercial history. The first sporting successes, such as the world diving title won in Cuba in ’68, were linked to the names of products that had become as legendary as the medium, Master 50 atm. The ’70s saw the birth of the first “1000 meter” watch with glass on flexible mounting and snap-on lunette which could be turned in both directions. Squale continued to produce for other brands and started to supply the elite corps of a large number of armed forces, including the parachutists of Italy’s Folgore Brigade and the Italian Navy’s Diving Corps. All this has made Squale synonymous with quality and the benchmark brand for divers’ watches internationally, a status it has enjoyed for several decades.

HOW THE PRODUCT IS BUILT

The great Swiss tradition of precision watchmaking, combined with solidity and durability: as tradition demands, the case is made throughout from Swiss 316L steel. The components are all Swiss, too: winders, winder sleeves, and gaskets. These are essential parts of a watch that has to withstand high pressures and salt water. Watches are painstakingly assembled by master watchmakers, taking the greatest care over the fitting of the gaskets and ensuring that the case is airtight; this then undergoes strict checks, with regard to both resistance to water and timekeeping accuracy. Quality tests are performed on every single watch and not on a sampling basis. Last but not least, the movement’s reliability is certified by the fact that Squale has always been a direct customer of the ETA Factory at Grenchen, guaranteeing that all movements are of prime quality.
