All Squale Watches I Squale 1521 Series

The world-famous Squale 1521 series is a must for all diving watch lovers. Not only because of the great importance of the brand, but also because of the excellent quality. It's not about trends or prestige, but rather functionality, timelessness and performance. 1521 means real nostalgia with great technology on your wrist.

The "1521" is the iconic collection and takes its name from the original production reference that Charles von Büren gave this case in the 1960s and which has remained true to the original to this day. The watch, designed and manufactured at the birth of the diving watch, guarantees all lovers of underwater experiences above-average water resistance with its pressure resistance of 50 ATM.

    My conclusion:

    David Drilling

    "How are you supposed to establish another diving model in the confusing market with thousands of diving models? With the 1521, the Swiss manufacturer Squale shows that this is possible. The building blocks for success are clear: tradition, concentration on the essential properties of a good diving watch, quality, many configuration options and an appropriate price-performance ratio. What you get is an excellent, versatile and uncomplicated diving watch. No experiments, just reliability in every situation."

    About me

    My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.

    Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.

    As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.

    So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.

    I am very much looking forward to meeting you.

    PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.

    My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)

    Shipping & Insurance

    Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

    The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

    Cancellation & Return Shipping

    You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

    I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

    IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.

    Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

    It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

    Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

    I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

    As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

    Warranty & Service

    All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

    If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

    Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

    No response received?

    You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

    Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.

    I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

    Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

    Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

    Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.

    If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.

    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!
