All Squale Watches I Squale 1521 Series
Expected to be back in stock from October. Feel free to sign up for "Notify me when available".
The world-renowned Squale 1521 series is a must-have for all dive watch lovers. Not only because of the brand's great importance, but also because of its excellent quality. This is not about trends or prestige, but about functionality, timelessness and performance. 1521 means true nostalgia with great technology on your wrist.
The "1521" is the iconic collection par excellence and takes its name from the original production reference that Charles von Büren gave to this case in the 1960s, and which has remained true to the original to this day. Designed and manufactured at the birth of the dive watch, its pressure resistance of 50 ATM guarantees all lovers of underwater experiences an exceptionally high level of water resistance.

Packed with beautiful details such as the acid engraving on the case back and the screw-down crown with signed "VON" logo, a reference to the founders of the Squale brand "von Büren S.A. / Montres" (Neuchâtel, Switzerland). Equipped with sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides for optimal readability under all circumstances.
A sporty and elegant classic from Squale.

My Conclusion:

"How can you establish another dive watch in the confusing market of thousands of models? With the 1521, the Swiss manufacturer Squale shows that it is possible. The building blocks for success are clear: tradition, focus on the essential features of a good dive watch, quality, many configuration options, and a reasonable price-performance ratio. You get an excellent, versatile, and uncomplicated dive watch. No experiments, but reliability in every situation."

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
Behind WATCHDAVID.SHOP, I, David Drilling, stand as a true watch enthusiast, watch photographer, and independent tester. Since 2018, I have been providing honest wear reports on my channels. In my shop, I exclusively sell watches whose quality and history I have personally verified. No anonymous mass-produced goods, but personal expertise.
Shipping & No Import Charges
Shipping within Germany and the EU is completely free for you and fully insured via DHL or FedEx Express. Important for you: There are guaranteed to be no import duties, taxes or hidden fees. The exact delivery time for your model will always be transparently displayed directly above the "Buy" button.
Cancellations & Free Returns
You can easily cancel your purchase within 14 days. Unlike other retailers, I will cover the full cost of your return shipping within the EU. Simply send me a short email to david@watchdavid.com and I will send you your free DHL return label. It doesn't get any more risk-free than that.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you 100% that all watches offered are unworn, brand new original goods. In the shop, I strictly differentiate between regular new goods directly from the manufacturer and exclusive photo watches. Photo watches are models that I have used for my videos or photos, or that come from a return. I sell them absolutely honestly as used and significantly reduced – but the full manufacturer's warranty only begins on the day of your purchase!
Warranty & David's "All-Round Carefree Service"
Every watch comes with the full, international manufacturer's warranty (at least 2 years). In the event of a warranty claim, you'll have absolutely no stress: I'll handle all communication with the brand and organize insured round-trip shipping for you. Even after the warranty period expires, I remain your personal point of contact for service inquiries.
Quality Control
Mechanical watches are fascinating masterpieces. Before dispatch, each watch undergoes a thorough optical and mechanical final inspection. Should a problem ever arise despite our secure transport protection, please inform me immediately by email. I will promptly arrange for a quick, uncomplicated replacement.
