Squale's Titanium Tudor Pelagos Killer? + Why Their Dive Watches Are So Underrated: Master 120 ATM

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 27 бер 2024
  • When it comes to dive watches, few brands can hold their own against the likes of Rolex, Omega, Panerai, Blancpain, Tudor, and many others. And yet, in 2024, Squale still remains the highest achieving and most underrated manufacturer of Swiss professional dive watches. Why is this? And does Squale's new release for 2024 deservedly capture the spotlight compared to the overhyped, overpriced, and underperforming offerings from the predictable brands mentioned earlier? Join me as I explore, analyze, discover the hidden depths, and share the pros and cons in this video review of the new Squale Master Titanium 120 ATMOS automatic dive watch. What do you think about this new release? Please share in the comments.

    I have to admit there is just something about the look and feel of a Squale. The ergonomics are fine tuned for a near perfect fit. They are a tool watch first and foremost but have that subtle yet elegant refinement that is often elusive in modern watches. I really like the overall design of this particular model but I’m still very partial to the 1521. I always enjoy and look forward to all of your videos knowing that you’re giving an honest opinion and review, but especially so when you review brands such as Squale as it is one of those near and dear to my heart. Sincere thanks for all of your work in putting out such high quality videos like this. Well done! 🥃

    The amount of work you put into editing your videos is phenomenal. Of course, the research and enthusiasm do not go unnoticed either. I actually think you've made yourself impossible to copy! So, huge respect to you. Loving the watch, too. The slightly retro design is awesome, and the 4 o'clock position on the crown is a huge win for me. Great job!
    Just one question: Did you formally study video production somewhere or is this something you figured out for yourself?

      To answer your question, I studied film history in Florence, post war Italian Neorealism, especially Vittorio De Sica to be exact. But my editing ability comes from working in the music industry and using pro-tools for many years, final cut was just a logical progression. I hope that makes sense.

    Hi TGV
    Always thought that Squale’s main stronghold was the case design. Not only for the purpose but aesthetically too. And this one in titanium looks even more futuristic...
    But it’s big and not least thick. A 1500 m diver necessary have to be...wish I had the wrists to wear it.
    I’ve pretty much have given up on wearing divers, except occasionally my Seamaster 300 when I’m sipping a vodka martini.
    Think you’re right that Squale kind of sits between two chairs with the marketing. It surely seems to be a very capable tool watch but compromises seems to have been made to make it appealing to a broader audience.
    Keep up the good work👍

  • @stephenlloyd85

    I love sqauale but as I've mentioned before the ti variations have run their course imo. Although for ultra deep diving it makes sense. Spot on with the faux patina, I instantly thought they were going for bond seamaster look and I'm glad you mentioned it. I'd still be interested in owning one and think this ticks the box for anyone looking for a more than capable diver with a cool history.

A huge step for the brand, and a knockout in the use of titanium for an independent brand!

    I have owned my Squale 2002 for many years now. It will always be a keeper for me. Beautiful watch with great build quality and immaculate timekeeping. Thankfully, the failure of many watch fans to know or appreciate the quality of this company's watches means that I was able to pick-up a nearly new example for practically Casio money.

    Loved the video, and the history of Squale, and the music chosen for that segment. What would be your recommendation in the budget segment for Squale? I know you're not a fan of Chinese homage watches, but your opinion on Steeldive? Spinniker, San Martin, and Vero? Would love to see a Steeldive 1953 compared to a Rolex Submariner with your thoughts, and opinions. Really enjoyed the video, and one day I'll have a Squale, Rolex, Cartier, ect, but for now its Chinese homages and microbrands while working in the trades. I really love cheap Casio's, Oceanus's, and all things Citizen Group of watches. I need to slow down on the collecting, all I ever really needed was a Casio Duro, W800H, and a Bertucci DX1... But that ship has sailed though, or sunk depending how you view being an enthusiast.

    I feel some sorrow of the direction of the channel.
    I understand that specialisation is the way to go (and I understand it is a no longer just a hobby but a business), but I miss the old spirit of the channel when it wasn't all about watches. It was about clothing, art, architecture, history, philosophy and so much more. It made a symbiosis of all these different aspects into an overall life style. The channel brought all this together in a way that really made it unique.

    • @theurbangentry

      Fear not my friend, as you can see from this recent video, the "old soul" is still even more so alive and kicking. Here you go if you missed it, just like this Squale video, I explore art, Architecture, style, aviation, history, Philosophy, horology and so much more:
      ua-cam.com/video/WPMakXJBJd4/v-deo.html
      You will be glad to know I will never change, as you so rightly say, this is precisely what keeps it more unique and I appreciate that you understand why I will also keep this more as a hobby and my business else where part time. Thank you for the support.

However, at it's price point, Squale has a few more options that I would grab instead. Thanks for the independent content!😎

    I love both my Squale 1521's (Azzuro and black dials in polished cases) and Gnomon exclusive Sub 39. The new Master while interesting I think as pointed out, the faux patina lume is wearing thin, and the bracelet butterfly clasp are let downs. Will I buy one? Probably not as there are other great dive watches in the Squale line up that make more sense to me as a collector and user.

    I love Squale as a brand; the 1521 Blue Ray, and the light blue Matic are my favourites. I also like the understated 1545. But this Master is a tad too tall for me. I’ve kept an open mind but my Pelagos LHD wins this contest. Also, I don’t know what to do with Squale’s website advice, telling me to “CHASE YOUR DETPTHS”… 😳. Great vid as always, TGV.

  • @jamesdelgado2009
    @jamesdelgado2009 2 місяці тому

    I currently own the Tudor Pelagos LHD, but I’m contemplating adding one of the Squale Master Titanium watches to my collection. The Squale’s design appeals to me, and it holds up well in comparison to my Pelagos. It is slightly thicker and has a longer lug-to-lug measurement than the Pelagos. I wonder how much of this additional thickness can be attributed to the domed crystal.
    Here's a comparison I made between the two watches for those who are interested.
    1. Tudor Pelagos LHD:
    o Case Size: 42mm
    o Case Finish: Satin
    o Case Materials: Grade 2 Titanium
    o Case Back Finish: Brushed Stainless Steel with Serialized Screw-in Case Back
    o Weight: 148 grams (Head Only)
    o Functions: Time with Running Seconds, Date Display, Helium Escape Valve
    o Thickness: 14.45mm
    o Lug-to-Lug Length: 47mm
    o Lug Width: 22mm
    o Dial: Black dial, “PELAGOS” in Red, Roulette Date Wheel
    o Luminous: Beige “Slightly Aged” Super-LumiNova
    o Handset: White “Snowflake” handset with Beige “Aged” Super-LumiNova
    o Bezel: Unidirectional Titanium, Black Ceramic Insert with Beige “Slightly Aged” Super-LumiNova 60-Minute Scale
    o Crystal: Flat Sapphire
    o Movement: Tudor Caliber MT5612-LHD (COSC), ~70 Hrs. Power Reserve
    o Water Resistance: 50 atm, 500 Meters, 1,640 Feet
    o Bracelet: 22mm Titanium Bracelet, Micro-adjust Stainless Steel Clasp and Diver’s Extension
    o Retail Price: $4,575 USD
    2. Squale Master Titanium:
    o Case Size: Just under 42mm
    o Case Finish: Brushed
    o Case Materials: Grade 5 Titanium
    o Case Back Finish: Brushed Titanium Gr. 5 with Screw-In-Case Back
    o Weight: 131 grams (Head Only)
    o Functions: Time with Running Seconds, Date Display, Helium Escape Valve
    o Thickness: Approximately 16.15mm
    o Lug-to-Lug Length: About 49mm
    o Lug Width: 20mm
    o Dial: Black Dial, "MASTER" in Orange, 3-layer sandwich dial with Brushed Applique Indexes
    o Luminous: Super-LumiNova “Old Radium”
    o Handset: Brushed Finish
    o Brezel: Monodirectional, Brushed Black Ceramic, Super-LumiNova 60-Minute Scale
    o Crystal: Domed Sapphire, 4mm thick
    o Movement: Sellita SW200-1 Elabore Automatic, 38 Hrs. Power Reserve
    o Water Resistance: 120 ATM, 1,200 Meters, 4,068 Feet
    o Bracelet: 20mm Titanium Butterfly, no Diver’s Extension
    o Retail Price: $2,332 USD
