All Squale Watches I Squale Sub-39 Series

Squale can look back on a history spanning over six decades. To mark its anniversary in 2019, the manufacturer treated itself to a gift. With the Sub-39, Squale launched a completely new series. The main focus is on the brand's history, which is reflected in the design of the Sub-39. One could say: the Sub-39 combines old designs in a new timepiece - an ambitious project!

The striking name comes from the historical templates, which have a diameter of 39 millimeters. However, the Sub-39 is slightly larger. The case was inspired by an old Squale watch found in the archives of founder Charles Von Büren. It dates back to the 1960s and significantly contributes to the Sub-39's appearance. Another trademark is the slightly box-shaped watch crystal, reminiscent of the old plexiglass designs of the past - today, high-quality sapphire crystal is used instead.

The classic now with GMT complication and in rich green! Indices and proportions are kept in typical vintage style. This makes the Sub-39 look like one of the very first dive watches! SuperLuminova in "Old Radium" style. On the three-link stainless steel bracelet, the watch cuts a timeless figure.

This is how vintage works - the Sub-39 shows how!

My Conclusion:

"A vintage watch with a statement! Squale doesn't just dust off a single old model from its archives, but rather blends several historical designs into a new watch. The result is accordingly versatile. I'd even go so far as to say this particular model is the most beautiful reference ever! But the Sub-39 always cuts a fine figure. It's best to click through the collection and pick your favorite!"
