Birth Of An Apex Predator - Squale 60 ATMOS "Squale-matic" Dive Watch Review + 1521 Comparison

[@tinman-uf4to]

I LOVE LOVE going back and watching these reviews now that I have my very own Squale 50 Atmos! Your enthusiasm, dedication and hard work on these reviews and videos most definitely goes noticed! You bring me a lot of joy watching these videos! Best wishes Brian

[@guitarmike1968]

On the bracelet not having a divers extention. The reason for this is because Squale knows Real Divers would Never wear it on a mesh bracelet while diving. Most Divers myself included have always worn them on a Nato strap or a 12 inch Zulu. Mainly because you wear it over a wetsuit or dry suit and it's far safer as to not lose your watch. The people running Squale now are still in contact with Real Divers and not so much the collecting crowd like us. I just happen to be both a PADI Dive Master certified Diver and I can definitely say a good long Nato strap is where it's at for divers. Hope this helps my friend.

[@nealrousseau]

At 14:19 minutes in, there is a typo in the Squale catalog. They have 1968 as 1068. Oops. Sorry. I worked in book publishing and these things just jump out at me 🤓

[@LemurKrazy]

There's a reason the blue is out of stock. Stunning.

[@adrianapostolov5385]

The Squale-matic looks fantastic. If only the size was a bit smaller. The changing colour of the dial is stunning, combined with the orange hand it is just ... WOW!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Adrian, always glad to hear you enjoyed it at least. Hope you are well. Best regards, TGV

[@user-qs7dp6yb2x]

pardon my french, but the d-domed crystal looks DOOOPE

[@dragunovlove]

an example of how color can make a watch look totally different. I used to have no interest in squale watches, but after seeing the new blue white bezel version, it's definately going in my must have list.

[@arthurzdentz111]

Thanks for showing this brand! I was looking for a colourful diver for the summer. The blue-white version with the Milanese mesh is spot on and has been ordered.

[@GRACEORT]

I had previously dismissed this blue-white version when browsing images online but after watching this review I’ve got to admit it looks absolutely stunning and I think it’s going to be my next purchase but first I need to save up as my new Sub39 blue 60 year Squale arrived today which is truly unbelievable

[@aidenmcmichael1745]

I've had my Blu Ray 20ATM for about a year now thanks to you. Cheers from Spain.

[@alexandruparausanu1038]

Good God! The intro had me crying in tears of joy.

[@ahh1180]

The Squale is just stunning - I will be buying the blue dial with the split colour bezel

[@matthackett83]

Stunning watches and I love the intro! Great stuff as always. Man I wish it was smaller, too big for me

[@RobertBrownieJr]

I always learn so much whenever I watch one of your videos Tris, I'm very pleased to say I've got my 1521 on the way, while that may be a problem when it comes to the addiction... It is all down to you and your channel that my enthusiasm for watches has evolved as it has. I will always thank you for that.

[@EODtrooper]

This intro and the one with the Italian navy have been spot on! Great Work!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Nicholas, very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@jieji1123]

TGV, Squale should pay you for that badass intro!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, too kind :D Best regards, TGV

[@jaycartwright4308]

How good was the intro! Superb work TGV. And as usual, great video.

[@hoovskinstein494]

Thank you very much for making me go broke! Your reviews have compelled me to get the Squale Matic and Oris Aquis Date in the last week. Love your work mate, keep it up!

[@geraldwoodny5252]

The polished one that you have on the black NATO just became a goal of mine .Thank you for the video

[@TheBigBadGRIM]

Thanks for reviewing that beautiful Squale-matic. The NYC event you were talking about, which you SHOULD HAVE ATTENDED SIR, was worn&wound's free Wind Up show last weekend. I got to see these watches in person tried this piece on. I can definitely pull it off and it's lighter than my Orange Monster. With two pilot watches on the way, I can't afford to spend $1200 on this, though. However, I'll definitely keep an eye on it next year if it's still available. The bezel action is smooth and fun.

[@SuperPeleke]

Very good video, great review, thanks for comparing it to the old one. I'm disappointed Squale didn't update the watch in two sizes. I really think the older size fits the bill for me (small wrists) but I would have loved to see an updated and improved watch in a smaller size. Anyway, love the bold new look from this company. They are really making the right moves.

[@gurinkelm]

Thanks for review Just received 60 atm with turquoise/white bezel love it On Milinaise bracelet Fits perfect with all xtra links removed Very comfortable on small wrist

[@sk8brdninja746]

With that intro you're gonna have the world rockin Squale! The third one with the blue,black color was my favorite. They need to send you a check my friend.

[@theurbangentry]

LOL, they do indeed! But I actually prefer they didn't, I do this because I adore their watches and always will. More people need to know about Squale, Thank you SN, Best regards, TGV

[@sk8brdninja746]

The Urban Gentry Class act.

[@omiq7761]

I had the change to buy the Dark Blue Atmos 60 for a very decent 2nd hand price, and after learning about the brand (main source this channel) and seeing this review, it wasn't hard to pull the trigger. Pictures do not make justice to the watch, the glimmering effect of the polished dials is staggering, and the depth and richness of colors is second to none. The whole thing oozes with quality. The dome is awesome and from certain angles it looks like there is no sapphire at all, perplexing. With a NATO strap this is about close as real diving as a desk diver like me can get!!

[@donmesser9156]

Thanks, Tristano, for turning me into a Squale aficionado. What I can't fathom is how I spent fifty years as a watch geek without ever knowing about this great brand. Too close to the forest to see the trees, I guess. Always fixated on Rolex, Omega, et.al. Now that my son has given me his 1545 GMT he only has his blue polished 1521 (like yours). I'll have to bug him about the new 60 ATMOS Squale-matic.

[@walkerxjr]

Pre-ordered my new blue Matic already. I have got large wrists, so this size will work just fine for me. Just got to get that Squale book! P.S. Bloody great intro TGV.

[@geraldwoodny5252]

I LOVE everything about that watch .I actually learned about squale on this channel but as of now I'm in love

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, thank you Gerald! :D Best regards, TGV

[@speedwolf5212]

That watch is ridiculously beautiful. I wish they made a smaller 39-41mm version

[@fredriklaihonen9973]

Really nice review, and i know you heard it before but i have to say it again, your intros are super good. Love how you time everything to the music. So spot on.

[@Chachacabbage]

I totally fall in LOVE the intro of this video! I LITERALLY watched the beginning more than 10 times, well done Tris👍🏼

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much :D Best regards, TGV

[@RickieRobbie]

That sapphire dome is a nice touch. Black and orange are great together. but I don't care for the shiny markers on the dial and bezel. Little much bling for my taste. I find it distracting. To big for me as well

[@RickieRobbie]

The matte version would be my choice

[@robertcreamer2709]

Is it possible to buy a copy of the Squale book?

[@F3udF1st]

14:24 Wow, Squale's been around for 950 years??

[@theurbangentry]

LOL, well spotted. Best regards, TGV

[@timschubardt]

The Intro is absolutly stunning. Best regards:)

[@polarroller]

Wow that baby blue Squale with white on the bezel reminds me of the vintage car colors of the 1950'60's. real nice.

[@MainerInJapan]

Man, that blue is just gorgeous...

[@theurbangentry]

Indeed! Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@williambanks6725]

What a well made and professional intro. The blue 60 atmos is stunning but like you I don't need another diver!

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, thank you William, very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@stevetackett8768]

fantastic video as always. as a matter of fact, I just picked a companion for my blue 1521. a black pvd. orange face 1521 from Marc at Long Island. Thanks TGV for introducing me to Squale.

[@scuffedgodcxcx253]

Squale should really really pay you. A lot. I bought my 1521 polished because of your videos btw. Keep up the great content! Love it!

[@oneisnone7350]

I really like the 1521. However, I've read comments about Squale having quality control and customer service issues. Has anyone else heard this?

[@theurbangentry]

I heard of a few things last year due to overwhelming demand, but from my personal experience I can say it has vastly improved since then. Good question, thank you. Best regards, TGV

[@johnny6713]

My favourite Dive watch. It is stunning. Great review.

[@ernestozavaleta2822]

Just got a Fortis B-42 Diver. Blued numerals and skeleton hands on an eggshell dial. Day, date. Incredible AR as though there is no glass, great bracelet, would love to see it added to your long list! My favorite of your top 20 is the Breightling Heritage - on my "within-reach" Grail list. Didn't know it was there until I discovered it through you ......so thanks!

[@smr32061]

I definitely want one! Especially with the blue dial. But 44mm too big. 40mm perfect.

[@happycamper2220]

Beautiful presentation. I see the Caribbean blue on Frederico's wrist... instead of the 1521 azuro. I wish I could do 44mm, myself but alas.

[@dusanveselka3240]

Nice to see a Squale review again. I like the bezel and the colour on the new one, but I prefer the dial indices and the size of the old one. Btw, a great intro again

[@TurnFullCircle]

Great video as usual.....my only complaint is....i am so jealous you get the chance to review all these beautiful creations!.....i have been glued to the ipad as i watched the close ups of the dial...that silky blue of your piece is totally exquisite.... Cheers Chris.

[@bmjengland4966]

Oh TGV, You've changed my List again!!! These New Squale are really something else!!! Very Nice indeed!! I love the Militarie, but I also think one of these as well to keep it company!!! Great Review!! BMJ ENGLAND.

[@valentijnfdb]

Hey Tristano, I recently got my hands on a 'new old stock' Orient quartz watch from the 80's, and so far I'm impressed with the quality of these older affordable quartz watches. I highly suggest you get a vintage Seiko type II or King Quartz. These watches have something special.

[@theurbangentry]

Great idea, I will certainly think about it. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@grantpowell9075]

Wow. They absolutely nailed the design with the 60 atmos! I already have a 1545, and have been looking at the 101 atmos, but I might have to go for the 60 atmos instead... Decisions, decisions.... In a perfect world I would have them all. Great vid, as always! Cheers, Grant

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Grant. Good luck on the Shark hunt ;-) Haha, I long to live in that perfect world too my friend! Best regards, TGV

[@finchtoob]

Thanks for the review, I just pulled the trigger on a blue 60 atmos, they are beautiful!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

All of them are absolutely gorgeous! The new Blue looks amazing. Great vid:)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, so glad you like them. Just watching that new speedy you got, wow!!!! Congrats. Best regards, TGV

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thanks. Kind of funny that we both picked up Schumacher Speedy's right around the same time. Cheers:)

[@hellotabasco]

in love with the caribbean blue squale!!! excellent review TGV! as usual lol... keep the good work, cheers!!!

[@SIOrlove1]

My perfect frankensquale would be the 50 atmos sunburst blue with the 60 atmos applied indices and lollypop second hand and the 1512 brushed case, on a tan strap...make it happen :) As for the 60s, I'm really digging the black polished.

[@olem.2111]

Do you know if there is a place I can buy the book? Thank you TGV!

[@alexanderwilson5089]

I'd also be interested in learning whether/where to get a copy!

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

The introduction was great. Enjoyed seeing the latest from Squale.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Bob, I was just thinking, wheres Bob!?!? Just isn't a video without a comment from you my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@223bolty]

Love my 1521 just beautiful can't stop looking at it Cheers TGV

[@theurbangentry]

Fantastic, enjoy! I think I shall wear my tomorrow ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@DamirK31]

When i saw this watch one week ago on the long island watch channel, especially the blue one. I was like i have to get this watch it's gorgeous even if I'm not in the position to spend that money right now. But when i saw the measurements I have to admit I was a bit relieved. Because my sweet spot is around 38mm and i won't go any bigger than 40mm. So even though i love the looks it is not a watch for me.

[@theurbangentry]

You have same size preferences as me, I have to say, the 1521 wears like a 40, my sub feels larger. Thank you Damir, Best regards, TGV

[@billk.7889]

Thanks for the review. I love my 1545 that I purchased after one of your earlier Squale videos.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, enjoy it! Great watches for the money. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@ivanhorvat3099]

Another classic. I firmly believe it's time you bring in a propper $1000+ SEIKO to the table. My pick of the bunch is the MarineMaster300. Ciao

[@DerpEye]

Very beautiful watch . Unfortunately it's gigantic :D . I can't understand why they do not reissue the 39mm (25/30atm) version (like the Page&Cooper special edition) maybe with a different bezel.

[@th_dark_horse2641]

Hard question TGV.... would you take Oris or Squale?

[@michaelmelloul2189]

Hi and thanks for all your nice videos. I wanted to get your advice since i am very much hesitating between the squale 1521 polished black and the 60 matic polished grey. My wrist is around 18.5cm and unfortunately I cannot try any of the 2 before buying them. I would go for the 60 but I am afraid it would look too big. I watched your comparison video but it does not help me to decide; what is your wrist size ? I usually wear a tag euer monaco caliber 12 and it fits perfectly but it is really a different watch so difficult to compare Many thanks! BR Michaël

[@morrison980]

This video is fantastic. Well done. I’ll take the blue/white bezel in 2/3 days. I can’t wait :)

[@lazinelad]

Thank you so much for another top notch video. I really love the look of the 60 atoms black, Thinking of getting it or the oris sixty five, Which way would you go?

[@benaronson2187]

The lume on the high-gloss versions seem a little difficult and awkward...

[@mikemitch1041]

Had my 1521 for a year and it's a great watch and got it on recommendation of tgv , I still like it as much as the first day I got it these new ones look great perhaps a xmas present to myself ! and add to my collection

[@Johaneeeek]

Sick intro man! Now I love my 1521 even more

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Johan, and so you should, me too for that matter. After getting to know Squale more, I respect and love the 1521 even more. Best regards, TGV

[@sdm107]

I want one! But in 38mm 😕

[@theurbangentry]

Me too!!! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@cathb4114]

Nice piece of work,thanks TGV

[@SheriffJohnStone]

TGV, what is your wrist size? I also have small wrists, ~6.5'. I'm using your wrist as a gauge as to whether or not I should get a Squalematic. I do have the 1521 and it is perfect. I fear that the Squalematic might be a touch to big. Awesome video. Thanks!

[@mnt1mnt]

Great video and that intro its better than any of official Squale trailer magnificent job.

[@karamazov75015]

I'm so in love for this version 11:10 . Thanks for that vidéo

[@andreashuttenlocher]

Super amazing intro Tristano! Great vid too!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Andreas, very kind :D Best regards, TGV

[@mikemantho9426]

I love the light blue one on the tan leather strap. Just a beauty. Thanks again Tristano for a great video.

[@GreyFox422]

TGV, I have a 1545 Horizon and it's only signed once on the dial. Any thoughts on why that might be?

[@nicholastesta5387]

I’m fairly sure that the “Halloween” version still has applied indices but they are more matte to match the case

[@bizengrowl]

Hey TGV what is your wrist size? Can I pull off the squale matic with a 7,5in wrist?

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

What a beautiful watch that Squale 60 ATMOS, with two tone bezel! Great review! Thanks and BIG LIKE!

[@mrmichaellepp8206]

Another awesome video TGV. You should consider picking up a loupe or even more magnified macro lense for closer shots of those awesome sunburst dials in the future! Thanks for everything you do!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, great idea. I actually have one from Piaget I was given by a very good friend. I will keep it in mind, Best regards, TGV

[@guynamedrico3392]

I absolutely love today's intro!

[@JustinMiles17]

While I like the new models I feel that the 1521 looks more like a tool watch. This one has a dressy look to it. Great video T.

[@theurbangentry]

Spot on observation my friend, bang on. Thank you Justin, Best regards, TGV

[@LordSteven00]

if size is not a concern, what do you recommend for actual diving?

[@rodrigomussak]

I can tell it is a great watch by TGV's smile on this review. Great show as always. If I haven't my Sumo I would pull the trigger on the Caribbean Blue one.

[@bkarmas]

I LOVE that Caribbean blue Squale, you are blowing my watch budget. Now after watching your review I must have one.But I wont be able to hide that blue from my wife and she will know I bought "another" watch, she will put me back in the dog house

[@jessepark9918]

hello tgv I was wondering if you ever got around to reviewing the Squale Tiger final edition ?

[@eo6255]

hi, is the bezel of the squale 60 atmos made of sapphire crystal? just wondering if its scratch resistant

[@joaovitoramaralsilva9745]

wooow this intro man!! Very nice, Squale does blue soo well. But I gotta say, I still prefer the 1521 that you have! I see that one as your signature watch, if there's such a thing lol nice to see Squale showing some love towards you, you definitely put them on the map!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Joao, surprised you prefer the 1521, I know you like them big (watches that is). I totally see what you mean about the signature ;-) Very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@joaovitoramaralsilva9745]

Yeah, I mean I couldn't wear a watch below 40mm, but 42mm wears great on me..and that Azzurro blue, man that is amazing!

[@jeremycorrao]

Man, I love those indicies! They just sparkle!! It would fit me perfectly as well. Great video!

[@andrewcanella]

Beautiful watches, but it really bothers me that "Squale" is printed twice on most (all?) of their dials. I understand that the bottom Squale is part of the logo, but it seems redundant from a design perspective.

[@PulledPurk]

I want one. I've never had a watch that large before (Or as beautiful). My wrists are 6 and 3/4 inches. It looked almost too big on you. Do you think they will update the 1521 to look like the Squalematic?

[@bernardocourrege6283]

Awesome intro and video. You deserve to keep one of them just because of the intro you made!

[@carloslargaespada6051]

I love my squale 60 atmos. I have the orange and black bezel with the black dial in a satin finish.Unfortunately, I screwed up and bought a squally mesh strap for like $150 from Gnomon watches. I'm definitely going to try the place where you got your🎉🎉 Strap

[@matts9484]

Awesome intro! Best one yet.

[@theurbangentry]

Very kind Matt, Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@Xithz]

If only Squale had released this as a 40mm... Then you'd have the big 101 atoms, medium 50, and the clean beauty 60 as the classic size! Gorgeous watch!

[@brendanleadbeater9400]

Really beautiful! I was very interested in the 1521 but now after seeing this piece I am torn! Its gorgeous. My fiance wants to purchase a watch for me as I just proposed to her and this watch is in the running along with the Junghans Max Bill Chrono or a used Nomos! I know given the occasion it should probably be something more elegant and possibly a vintage piece but its such a hard decision to make! Loving your reviews as always! Thanks TGV!

[@toolongforyoutoread6]

I can see why you love the 1521, but I'm a little surprised that it beat out the SKX, given how much you love that one. Have you ever considered doing a comparison of the two?

[@32chris11]

The blue one is unreal. Beautiful watch.

[@theurbangentry]

Totally, Thank you Chris, Best regards, TGV

[@denny0104]

Fell in love with the blue version when I saw this on long Island watch video. Too bad it's currently sold out...cant wait to get one when it's in stock again.

[@Pimpi1980g]

Hi TGV. Great video as always. Can you please tell me (didn't catch it anywhere) the name and ref. for black polished one (in the middle)? That is an amazing timepiece. Thanks and regards from Croatia.

[@louieradford9923]

Hi TGV I can't decide between a Seiko skx or the flightmaster, what do you think. Great vid as usual may not I say.

[@theurbangentry]

Did you watch the last video on how to decide between watches, it might help ;-) All great, so either way, you can't loose. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@chiefrugaroo3181]

Have you ever seen the new Meister MERCIER ONE watch? You should check out, looks about your style. I think I might get one to dress up my arm.
