First introduced in the 1960s, the Super Squale quickly became one of the most popular models in the Squale collection.
Its iconic status was solidified in 1959 when Charles Von Büren registered both the "Squale" brand and the "Super-Squale" trademark, marking this watch as a piece destined to make history in the world of dive watches.
The Super Squale was designed as a true skin diver. With water resistance up to 200 meters, a compact 38 mm case diameter, and a slim 45 mm lug-to-lug length, it was crafted to minimize bulk during dives, whether worn over a wetsuit or directly on the wrist.
New “Big Arrows” Collection: A Tribute to the Past with a Modern Twist
The latest Super Squale models, known as “Big Arrows,” are instantly recognizable by their bold, triangular-tipped hour and minute hands. To further enhance the vintage aesthetic, Squale has chosen "Old Radium" Superluminova, a luminous material renowned for its aged patina, adding a touch of authentic nostalgia.
But the new Super Squale watches are not just about celebrating the past. Alongside designs faithful to the originals, the collection introduces modern reinterpretations, all while retaining the essential features of a dive watch.
These timepieces feature stunning sunburst dials in three captivating colors: blue, green, and black. The sunburst finish enhances the dial’s depth and visual allure, reflecting light in a way that emphasizes the retro charm of the watch while honoring Squale’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Refined Design and Advanced Craftsmanship
Every Super Squale is equipped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, essential for eliminating distortion and ensuring impeccable readability, while preserving the vintage allure of its iconic case.
At the heart of the Super Squale lies the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. This elaboré-grade caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering exceptional precision and reliability.
Completing the watch is a polished stainless steel bracelet with 18 mm lugs, ensuring both comfort and style for any occasion.
