Squale 1521 Black Blasted on Rubber

The Squale 1521 Black Blasted is a highly regarded diver's watch, celebrated for its blend of rugged tool-watch aesthetics with refined Swiss craftsmanship. Part of the iconic 1521 collection, it traces its heritage back to the designs of brand founder Charles von Büren in the 1960s, a case design that became a blueprint for professional dive watches. What distinguishes the "Black Blasted" model is its non-reflective, matte-black dial and matching bezel, complemented by a 316L stainless steel case with a bead-blasted finish that reduces glare and enhances its stealthy, utilitarian appeal. Featuring the collection's signature recessed 4 o'clock crown and 500-meter water resistance, this model combines a classic vintage design with robust modern specifications.

The Squale 1521 Black Blasted Steel features a 42mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a unidirectional rotating bezel with an aluminum insert, and a screw-down crown at the 4 o'clock position.  The matte black dial features lumed printed indices, a lumed hour and running seconds hand, an orange lumed minute hand, and a date window at the 3 o'clock position.  Powered by a Sellita SW200-1 movement, the 1521 features a 38-hour power reserve and a 500-meter water resistance rating.
