Squale MASTER TITANIUM Grand Bleu

The Master Returns – with New Colors and Character

In close collaboration with Italian freediving champion Vincenzo Ferri, Squale expands its most significant collection with two new models. The re-editions of the Master series feature deeply textured dials in rich blue and vibrant turquoise – a homage to the changing colors of the ocean. They are complemented by a newly developed rubber strap that, with its alligator embossing and raised, dark grey stitching, sets new standards not only technically but also aesthetically.

A Watch Born from the Fascination with the Sea

"Words are not enough to describe the wonders of the sea – and the hand not enough to write them down." This quote, attributed to Christopher Columbus, perfectly encapsulates the deep longing for the sea. Squale's new Master collection, the epitome of technical perfection in dive watches since 1959, is a direct answer to this human fascination. It combines supreme engineering with a feeling of boundless freedom – the element of water is never just a backdrop, but an deeply intertwined part of these watches' identity.

Depth – Then and Now

As early as the 1960s, Squale set standards: the original Master cases withstood a pressure of 100 atmospheres – equivalent to a depth of 1,000 meters. Today, the revised Master version goes a step further: a 42 mm case made of Grade 5 titanium, a 4 mm thick sapphire crystal, and a helium valve ensure that this watch remains resilient down to an incredible 1,200 meters. The result is a dive watch that knows no compromise, both technically and aesthetically.

New Colors for New Horizons

In addition to the classic version with a black dial, two new variants are now being released: the Master Grand Bleu and the Master Grand Vert. Both models are emblematic of different phases of a freedive. The deep blue of the "Grand Bleu" captures the mysterious silence of the deep sea – that moment when the diver seeks the unknown. The turquoise of the "Grand Vert," on the other hand, recalls the return to the surface, when sunbeams break through the water and the world regains light. Each hue tells its own story – of descent and ascent, of inner silence and triumphant return.

Vincenzo Ferri – Master Under Pressure

As a long-standing brand ambassador, Vincenzo Ferri not only wears these watches out of conviction – they accompany him on every dive. The multi-award-winning Italian is one of the most successful freedivers of his generation. With a depth of 104 meters in constant weight with bi-fins, he holds the Italian record. Whether in the Great Barrier Reef, the Gulf of Naples, or the crystal-clear waters of Sharm El Sheikh – Ferri always chooses locations that challenge and inspire him. The impressive images showing him with the new Squale Master models were also taken during his training sessions in the Red Sea.

Structures that Tell the Story of the Sea

The dials of the Grand Bleu and Grand Vert models are not only distinguished by their hues – their true special feature lies in the three-dimensional wave pattern that vividly mimics the movement of the sea. The applied hour markers are color-matched to the dial, making the watch truly glow in its depth. Even in low light, these watches maintain their legibility: the SuperLuminova coating is chosen to match the dial color, while the minute hand, second hand tip, and the triangular marker on the bezel are equipped with white SuperLuminova BGW9 – for maximum visibility underwater.

Ceramic Meets Color – the New Bezel

The bezels of the two new models also feature differentiated coloring: the Grand Bleu has a blue ceramic bezel with markings of the same color, while the Grand Vert combines a black ceramic inlay with turquoise numerals and indices. Both bezels are unidirectionally rotatable, made of durable ceramic, and thus contribute to the watch's high resilience – even with repeated, professional use in water.

A Strap that Breaks New Ground

One of the most exciting innovations of this Master generation is the high-quality rubber strap, which combines the robustness of a dive strap with the elegance of a classic leather look. Made in Italy, with an embossed alligator pattern and accented by raised, dark grey decorative stitching, the strap harmoniously adapts to the wrist – stylish enough for everyday wear, durable enough for extreme situations. The titanium clasp underscores the thoughtful character of this unique strap.

The New Standard for Modern Professional Dive Watches

The new models of the Squale Master series – Grand Bleu and Grand Vert – exemplify the combination of design and function at the highest level. Whether for ambitious freedivers, tech enthusiasts, or adventurers with an appreciation for aesthetics: these watches are not fashion accessories, but true companions. Born from decades of experience, worn by athletes like Vincenzo Ferri, and built for depths that few humans ever reach.
