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.
Squale 1521 Militaire 1521MIL.HT with Tropical Band
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.

The Squale 1521 Ocean Mesh 1521OCN.ME20 in review
Squale 1521 Ocean blue 1521OCN.ME20 in video review on YouTube:
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
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No answer received?
You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
