With a durable sapphire crystal , an impressive 600m water resistance , and a 120 click uni-directional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert, the T-183 has the same makings of a tough dive watch. But what sets it apart from the 1521, and other dive watches in general, is its unique case. Squale chose to make the 42mm case from alternating layers of carbon fibre and fibreglass.
This creates a neat effect where the case colour alternates between the grey carbon and the blue of the fibreglass. To back up its impressive specifications, the T-183 is powered by an accurate and reliable movement. In this case it’s the trusty Sellita SW200 .
This Swiss automatic movement is a staple of watch brands, due to its great reputation and quality. About The Brand Squale has been manufacturing professional dive watches since 1959. Back then dive watches were just emerging as a new category of tool watch, and Squale quickly established itself as a quality manufacturer of these crucial pieces of equipment.
As a result, Squale watches were worn by many record-breaking divers. In 1967 Enzo Maiorca achieved an immersion record using a Squale Master. And, in 1970 Jacques Mayol set a historic immersion record in Japan, reaching a depth of 76 meters wearing a Squale watch on his wrist.
Today Squale continues to produce many models of dive watch. All of which are professional tools able to withstand the rigours of life in the ocean.
