On Squale and Gnomons site the case appears brushed with polished chamfers, this unit looks like full polish. Are there different options?

This was from the first original batch of Chronometers they did. They later updated to the brushed spec. I was kind of disappointed at first but then I noticed they did a matte blasted rehaut too and it made me glad to have the all polished, since the hi-polished rehaut is one of my favorite features of the watch.

I have the "traditonal" 1521 in black that basically looks, feels and functions just like this. I love, love, love it. My daily wear. To me, this is the perfect watch where you are getting ALL that you pay for without the huge branding-tax that you pay with something like a modern-day Blancpain. (and hey, no hate here). The Squale actually comes from, essentially, the same company (ok, family friend) that invented it. Love your reviews by the way.

Great review of a cool vintage style watch. I am a huge fan of the 1521 watches. Who would expect 500m watch could be so stylish and fit so well on your wrist? I have a weakness for orange dials. Have a 1521 onda with the orange dial and blue ray strap. How about some color!!! Really a fun watch. Also have a 1521 I bought from gnomon. LAB Edizione-1 Truly an odd cool watch. Got it on a mesh bracelet. Total quirky stunner. I must have odd quirky tastes in watches. Not a popular one I think. Only 200 made, still have some for sale.

Nice. I've been toying in my head the idea of getting a 1521 for some time. So many variants.. I missed the boat on one of them.. a red fume dial variant. Still looking and seeing which may suit my fancy. Besides narrowing to one particular 1521 model, I'd say one other thing that has held me back from getting one is the fact they don't have a bracelet with fitted end links. I'm not the biggest fan of mesh. But, that may be the only type of bracelet that would work the best. I don't like straight endlink link bracelets either (unless it's on a watch that has very short lugs such as a Seiko Tuna). Idk, still wrestling with the idea that not all dive watches need to have a fitted link bracelet.

Squale would do very well to sell this exact watch with some sunburst dials… I think they would absolutely sell out in no time 💥 Cosc ✅ applied markers (instead of oversized printed 🤦🏻♂️) ✅ 1521 case ✅ nice presentation box with watch tool and extra straps ✅ all for around £1000 ✅ ( oh yes, and lume on bezel!!! ) I mean it is absolutely perfect - just 2 more sunburst dial variations (maybe blue and green etc ) and it’s a definite buy for me. This watch looks incredible 🔥👍🏼

@@AverageBros Yes, I am sure they do, and the black dial is lovely, excellent watch!!! BUT, how nice would it be to have more than one COSC version (not just black), with more dial colours. I love the 1521 case shape, more than the Sub 39, or the matic, however, the Sub 39 and Matic have more interesting, alluring dials with the sunburst… I am just saying that I would love this cosc version with applied markers in more dial colours - that’s all. And I think most would appreciate that too.

I think Squale have hurt their brand image by making a lot of different models, many of which have not been great in terms of design and/or quality. This is a great example of a watch that they got very right. It's good looking, it's functional, and it's good value. It's what Squale should stick to in my opinion. They can clearly make very good dive watches.

The circle continues. Squales history is practically a homage to the 62MAS and their success must have convinced Seiko to finally bring it back. I had wanted a 50 Atmos for years until I immediately jumped on the sbdc101. Now I would love love a cosc squale in that incredible Squale blue.

Thank you for your review. Sadly, you don't mention the quality of the luminous material used. Yes, it is a SuperLuminova but there are several qualities and colors. For example C3 is the brightest. There are also the qualities: standard, A and X1. The X1 quality is the one that lasts the longest, which is obviously the most important characteristic. So, which SuperLuminova is it? Thank you for your feedback!
