The Squale 2002 / 101 atmos is a visually stunning recreation of an iconic late 60’s Squale dive watch. The look and original 1000m water resistance have been maintained as well as the famous snap-on sapphire push-down rotary bezel.

It has a thick 3.5mm sapphire crystal with a double gasket to ensure outstanding water resistance, whilst the lugless tonneau style case, made of Swedish 316L stainless steel, gives an overall smooth flowing look.

Measuring 44mm in diameter, the case now has an integrated automatic helium escapement valve (HEV) at 9 o'clock for saturation divers. The caseback is also engraved with an interpretation of the classic Squale wave design together with the famous Squale curved shark logo. The etched back and the special diving winder - all painstakingly designed details, crafted to make a product that keeps faith with the Squale brand philosophy.

The watch's discreet elegance is combined with reliability provided by the well tried and tested Swiss made Sellita SW 200 automatic movement which provides mechanical reliability and accuracy under the toughest circumstances. It has a quickset date funcion and displays the date at the 3 o'clock position.

Like the model that inspired it, the special press-and-release bezel, a Squale innovation that ensures that the bezel won't be accidentally rotated, is secured by a twelve-sided ring screwed onto the top of the case for easy removal from above. The gorgeous scratch resistant sapphire bezel insert is coloured in a multi-stage process. First the phosphorescent material is applied by hand, followed by colouring with varnishes immune to seawater corrosion, and then application to the supporting steel substrate. This guarantees that the component is warm to the touch while guaranteeing excellent bezel legibility thanks to the transparency. The watch face features hand applied stainless steel indexes, similar to those found on vintage Squale dive watches, which are filled with SuperLuminova luminous, just like the hands.

This Squale 2002 comes with a superb stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet. Rubber straps are also available.
