Price is FIRM. NO TRADES. NO low-ballers.

"Originally launched in the 1960's, the "Super-Squale" immediately became one of the most popular watches of the brand. It is the ultimate skin diver - a watch with a water resistance of 200 meters and just 38mm in diameter, 45mm from lug to lug - it is the ultimate diving companion with or without a wetsuit.

The watch is powered by a Swiss made Sellita SW200-1 movement (true no-date!), elabore grade. This 26 jewel Swiss made automatic movement has a beat rate of 28,800 beats per hour, which translates to a smooth ticking of 8 times per second - very fluid! Faithful to the original, the dial is decorated with 4 applied markers at the 12/3/6/9 positions. To maintain legibility at night, and to keep with the vintage vibe, the hands and markers are filled generously with Super-LumiNova Old-Radium luminescence. On this model, a black sunburst dial gives the appearance of blackened steel, and a matching steel dive insert on the 120 click uni-directional ratcheting bezel helps you time your dives.

Helping with the 200 meter water resistance is a screw down crown. Securing the watch to your wrist is an 18mm lug, beads of rice bracelet.

Squale was founded by Charles von Büren in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in 1946 as a manufacturer of watchcases and other components for other watch brands. Originally, the "Squale" mark appeared on watches as a symbol of the case's origins and pride in its quality.

In 1950, von Büren S.A./Montres began to produce their own range of professional diving watches under the Squale brand name. These watches were not marketed for jewelry shops but rather specialty dive stores.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Squale provided cases for Altanus Genève, Arlon, Potens Prima, Prima Flic, Jean Perret Geneva, Ocean Diver / Blandford, Deman Watch, Margi, Berio, Eagle Star Genève, La Spirotechnique, Wertex, Carlson Tavernier Geneva, and Sinn. Cases designed for 500m water resistance with the crown located at the "4 o'clock" position were sold to Airin, Dodane, Blancpain, Tag Heuer, Doxa, Zeno, and Auricoste. Squale also supplied the parachutists corps "Folgore Brigade" part of the Italian Airforces ("Aeronautica Militare Italiana") and the Italian Navy’s Diving Corps ("Marina Militare Italiana") with timepieces during this period.
