This video is 8 years in the making! Today I revisit a watch very close to my heart—a timepiece that has changed my life, how I perceive watches, and in many ways inspired what my channel has become today. Join me as I reacquaint myself with the Squale 1521 aka the classic "Azzurro," a stunning Swiss-made, automatic, blue dive watch—in addition to three exciting new releases for 2022 from Squale. I compare the 1521 to the upgraded COSC certified black dial and bezel version, and explore the new T-183 made from a revolutionary forged carbon material. I also share an exclusive first look at the new Squale Master, an official collaboration with the Italian Marina Militare. We'll take a look at the history of the brand and their design evolution, in addition to the positives, negatives, and everything in between for these three new releases. Ultimately I ask, after all these years, is Squale still the best at making automatic dive watches under and around $1000?
