Squale's Titanium Tudor Pelagos Killer? + Why Their Dive Watches Are So Underrated: Master 120 ATM
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 03. 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.

The amount of editing you must do to get these videos right is honestly astonishing! I'm sure I am not alone in appreciating that fact. I'm new to the addiction and just embraced the slippery slope. There's literally no point fighting it haha!
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Deeply appreciated, thank you!
I must ask, is that a lone wolf and cub sketch from the comic?
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry No problem sir, credit where credit is due. The picture is an animated one of the late, great Miyamoto Musashi. Who was a lone Samurai warrior (Ronin) of the 16th century. Also, a philosopher who wrote the remarkable Book Of Five Rings. Thanks again TGV.
I adore that book, put it in a few videos a while back, a true classic!
Definitely not getting enough push from the youtube algorithm god. Between the commentary, the products, and skits with Bruno every episode is an all around show of talents.
@@theurbangentry Oh wow! I’m quite new to the channel so I must have missed those. I’m guessing you may also be a fan of Philosophy? Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Seneca - Letters From A Stoic and The Shortness Of Life are also remarkable books.
Great video. Really wanted to see this one. You were spot on with it. More than anything, it shows what they indeed are capable of. Movement aside, a few minor tweaks and this is a formidable beast.
...and yet I rate your OG Montauk faaaar higher than this in terms of general appeal, aesthetics and value....and it carries the same movement AFAICT? Unless I'm a diving pro / fetishist - this thing is a brick.
Thank you Marc, well said, they should have called it "la bestia".
I love my 60 atmos satin Finish squale diver. Nothing beats it. I wear to work everyday on a leather strap. My boss the other day noticed it and said wow what a watch!
That ain't a dive watch with that clasp. It's a show piece and I'm a Squale fan.
👏👏👏
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Butterfly clasp 🙄🤦
What is it once you put it on a NATO. Oh, it does come with a rubber strap. You can call it a casual watch, that can turn into a professional diver.
🤣
This watch would live on the rubber strap though.
Yet another outstanding video! The production quality is top-notch, and I commend you for keeping the background music at a pleasant volume, allowing me to hear your words clearly. As someone who occasionally struggles with tinnitus, I often have to rely on closed captions due to intrusive background music in videos. However, your content consistently strikes the right balance-I can listen to your commentary while also appreciating the ambiance you create through your music.
I like how you give background information on the brands you discuss. Another aspect that sets you above other watch channels.
Hope you were able to see the USS New Jersey move. What a sight to behold. Great video, as always.
You spoil us, thanks!
Thank you so much my friend. As for the USS NJ, yes!!! I watched it live on the news. I must admit, not seeing it on my morning jogs is kinda sad. I look forward to seeing her all spruced up.
Best regards,
TGV
My fav is still the blue one with polished case 👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks for your excellent videos! I bought my first real watch today, the Squale 1521 Azzurro!
Thank you so much for sharing that, it makes all the hard work with it, welcome to the Squale-risti!
May it bring you many years of fun, faithful service and style.
Best regards,
TGV
I bought and sold a Squale. Now I am thinking a militare model would be a nice addition to my collection. Thanks for the video.
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.
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:
czcams.com/video/WPMakXJBJd4/video.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.
Onwards, upwards and enjoy the free content.
Best regards,
TGV
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! 🥃
Another refreshing and interesting video. Thanks very much TGV. Always look forward to them.
When I think of Squale I always think of that beautiful blue dial. I only know of Squale because of you TGV. Well done as always
Squale is absolute top of the dive watches!!! They should target inhouse movements to go insane!❤
As a Squale 1521 PVD owner, I hope Squale continues innovating as an independent. They make fantastic tool watches, and I always enjoy talking about the brand with my watch enthusiast friends.
Interesting history. As for this watch there are some simple fixes: 1) Use one logo(Once) 2) Use a folding clasp 3) Get ride of the Pho-tina
I was expecting a Squale episode to drop given how much you like those, as always a great review, Happy Easter, TGV!
Thank you, have a wonderful Easter too! 😎🥂
Best regards,
TGV
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.
My favorite watch channel. I love Squale i’m not too concerned about the bracelet. I change my bracelet anyways!! You’re the only guy that talks about this Brandan. 👍🏾👍🏾
Scrupulously fair review. I will always love Squale and my 1521. The best blue in all watchdom ❤
On the strength of your Squale reviews I've bought two this year, great watches.... by the way, your videography is excellent.
Love the background. I went in all those ships in 2019 before the "sick" days. Will get back there someday. The watch is spectacular 👌 Cheers
A great look at this piece. When I saw it, I decided it had to go on the list. It's big, sure, but I love my steel 1521 despite my small wrist for all the reasons you observed about its proportions. This one is tubby, but it won't be a daily d(r)iver anyway. A huge step for the brand, and a knockout in the use of titanium for an independent brand!
Actually like the look of the bracelet a lot, though agree butterfly clasp is odd for a diver. If it were quick release bracelet, that’d be a nice option.
To me it is just another Seiko design with crown at 4:00. I like their watches but the dial design of the crown offset above the name is irritating. I want to move it to center or not at all. Maybe only on the crown. The price is ok on them but I find other watches basically the same for less. I understand what it takes to make watches and I appreciate that cost. You are fair at describing them. Bono amigo bellissimo.
I am an avid Squale fan, I have 16 of them, including all three of the Squale Master limited editions (Militare, Comsubin and MFO) . I'm pleased the Master has now been added to the catalogue as a permanent part of the collection but the colour way of this one is a bit bland for me. I far prefer the Comsubin to this first release of a non-LE version but hopefully they will add other versions in due course. The bracelet is a bit of a miss for me with that butterfly clasp but hopefully Squale will change this in future........ I'm still a Squale fan though!
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.

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

o Case Size: Just under 42mm

Let me know if you find any errors.
Well the new release of the Aquastar Model 60 is very appealing, when comparing with another brand in it's tier. And this new titanium model just cannot hold a candle to the Tudor Pelagos 39 in every respect. The Tudor is just so nicely designed, there is just no comparison, let alone the in-house movement.
In no World does Squale kill Tudor, let’s have it right!! Happy Easter TGV.
Indeed, the over inflated hype will still carry Tudor further, despite their far inferior heritage, as covered in my recent deep dive (sorry, not intended) video exploring their history and list of achievements in comparison to Squale. Buona pasqua too!
Best regards,
TGV
I respectfully disagree.
I for one do not like any Tudor. The Ti pelagos left me wanting while my Squale leaves me wanting nothing else.
@@StefanoMaggioApril fools?
@@KeepingWatchUK no, good taste. No one can argue they're not good watches.
I love my Squale collection I just can't stop wearing them and I find that I do so far more than any of my other brands. They are absolutely perfect to dive with!!
I agree about the shark mesh bracelet. I would have loved to see the mesh bracelet with some kind of fitted endlink though.
A Squale is still on my wish list!
This is a thing of beauty. I love the dial and the layering - it gives it depth and a luster you dont see in many watches. Well done Squale - well done indeed!
Got my first Squale a month ago. Super Squale in silver - completely in love and truly impressed by the finishing
There is something about the case shape that is just hitting me wrong. Maybe it is the short lug to lug with the thickness. I am all for thick watches, but this seems unwieldy and off balance. Awesome specs though. Thanks much. Hope you and yours are well. Onward and upward, my friend.
That was a next level Video! Cheers TGV.
Tgv puts out tge best watch content. His videos are cinema quality. After all hos research, filming , and lord only kniws how much editing, look at how he responds to his subscribers! Thanks man! Also great video. As always.
The legend that is Squale! 😎 Very refreshing video. Mesh would have been better but great watch nonetheless. I’m just wondering about the movement. The Sellita is great but at this price range they might consider taking a less standard one. Perhaps one with more power reserve for example.
Great background history as usual. I love that. Thanks!
I collect watches since the 80s, you know the usual brands. I heard about Squale before but mainly from your channel, obviously you have a passion for it. I just bought a very cheap Squale 1545, I mean cheap under 1K. Well, beautiful watch, outstanding details, amazing colors, love it! I don’t think you ever talked about it, but it’s a great entry level watch to discover this amazing brand.
Thanks for another great review. My one disappointment is that there was no need to knock others who use YT to sell their products.
One of many great videos. Thanks TGV
Awesome video as always TGV! Unfortunately I can’t stand the off center Squale logo. I had to sell my Corso italiano because of it. It threw me off and the set off my OCD 😅.
The lugs on the 1521-style case are too sharp, short, and flat for a bracelet like that.
I love my blue-blasted 1521, and I’m thinking about the 1545…
Squale’s independence draws me to the brand. Great video, TGV!
T4YC. Very educational. It is a great watch, but definitely, proportionally it's thickish. And the faux, is a bit faux. But at 2K'ish it's good value. The type 2 Ti wears really well, and has a better colour and look than the type 5 here, so I don't think it's a serious rival to the Pelagos. But I believe that watch is near perfect.
Fantastic video as always TGV. Loved the history and the review that was respectful and real. Your opening credits are a thing of beauty. Ciao
I would have loved to see a Titanium Squale similar in size and scope to the 1521. 42mm diameter, 12.5 thickness, 48mm lug to lug and 20mm lug width. This to me is the perfect size for a Squale Diver and would be a great alternative to the Tudor Pelagos.
Noooooo! Not another watch I want. 😅 Great intro and video. Informative and entertaining as always.
I agree with TGV's conclusion here that Squale is not more popular because, in large part, of marketing. They simply don't have the marketing muscle of a Tudor or even a Christopher Ward. They also, I think, don't produce that many watches, so they don't need that much marketing in order to sell their stock.
However, I still think we need to acknowledge that Squale have other issues that limit their popularity. One, which TGV has alluded to here, is that they make design blunders. The poor luminescence of the sandwich dial, lack of lume pip on the bezel, poor differentiation between the hands in low light and butterfly clasp are 4 examples from the watch discussed in the video. A brand of Squale's history and experience shouldn't make these mistakes in my opinion, and issues like these are not restricted to this model.
Their history of making Rolex homages in also something that, I believe, is detrimental to their brand image. They've stopped doing this, so I think they realized this too.
I think Squale can only grow going forward, because I do think they make good watches. They just have to find and cement their place in the market.
I hope you come out with another Squale collaboration piece in the future. Hate that I missed the last one, it was fire 🔥
I bought the 1521 on your say so!!!! I love it. 2 more Squales later I'm still sold....
Completely sold on Squale (now having 3 lol) totally biased in truth.. love them all
They should offer a similar bracelet on a regular 1521 and an actual clasp would be great!
That style of bracelet links is my favorite. It was common in the '70s but, for some reason, it almost disappeared.
The Ti Squale will not replace my much loved blue dial Pelagos... that said, right now I wear my polished blue dial 1521 and my 1545 more than I wear any of my watches. Squale makes incredible watches!
That bracelet is a miss. I understand the history behind it but it’s no dive watch bracelet with a butterfly clasp, and I love Squale.
TGV again an amazing review, thank you for that. Totally looking for a squale for my first swiss watch. Btw that watch doesnt go well with the green strap for my taste. Happy easter
Just noticed the "Re-animator" poster in the background... A real man of taste ! ;-)
Good to get some historical provenance to this brand. I'm just not a fan of titanium at all. I prefer the heft of steel. Totally agree with the negative comments around COSC vs pricepoint. I absolutely love the case shape and the DeepSea SeaDweller chasing 4mm sapphire. That makes a huge difference. Date being framed is a no from me too. Overall though, I really like it, just not the pricepoint, but I'm sure a 20% plus discount would persuade me otherwise. Great video my friend
Wow I wish I had known you were in my city with that Titanium Squale .The watch would have gone great with my Titanium EDC . Penns Landing is minutes away from me . What's the price of the watch? Keep up the great work
There is something so alluring about the Azzuro blue on Squale watches. Stunning warch
Cracking watch. I think the lume colour compliments the Ti and the case is superb. I think these compete directly with Longines/Tudor. Ok, Longines' movement is better in every way, but Tudor Kinessis are very average: I'd rather a Selita - far more reliable, easier to service and fix. And the Pelagos bezel's numbers can drop off! As for the bracelet, they've taken the Blancpain route - bracelets are for topside smart so don't need dive extensions. Rubber is far superior for diving and a nice strap is included. The big competition is internal - the 1521 takes some beating. Total bargain as well.
Squale proper divers are always stupendously tooltastic. I bought a grade 5 titanium San Martin diver - now there’s a bargain, finishing is superb! O&U
I struggle with this one. I feel they made decisions too far in each direction of either design or function. For instance, they made it 120 ATM making it seem like it’s a tool watch. But then they removed the orange second hand and gave it poor lume with the aged look. So we have a 15mm thick watch that is neither the best at its job as a tool watch but isn’t the best daily wear either due to its thickness. I’d like to see a separate skin diver collection from Squale that’s slimmed up for the every day person. Thanks for the excellent overview !
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👍
I’m not a bracelet fan, and hate having to pay for one and then not use it. I always choose a strap if there is a choice.
Great to see you back at your channel watch roots its been a while since you talked about this watch brand. I have a feeling that a lot of watch channels will talk about this watch this year. Thank you once again for your history lesson. I really like the bracelet it reminds me of a Is ceramic bracelet don't know maybe its just me.
Thank you my friend, it has been I think 2 years since the last full Squall review. Well observed and I appreciate the support, you are so right, while I do adore some of the same old watches, it is important to try new things too and sometimes not stay in the same comfort zone.
Onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
TGV. As usual another classy and informative production. I still adore my azure blue polished 1521 with Milanese strap. The only watch that has garnered more admiring looks and comments than any other watch I own.
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.
Love the video and we need to talk about the audio. Absolute Quality! Had to reach for some different cans to do it justice!
Wow, thank you for an amazing video. Having seen others mention it I waited expectantly, for the “review” from the O.G. Squalista, whilst sitting here in a rainy old Blighty - and as usual you didn’t disappoint. I often credit ( blame😬) you for my love of Squale watches and the fact my 1521 became an attainable grail which I now cherish.
I agree the bracelet on this new offering misses the mark slightly but other than that a very nice piece, shown here perfectly. Onward and Upward 👏
Man I needed a TGV after the week I’ve had, we had to put down our dog Friday, it was a long weekend then my brother ended in the emergency room almost dying and now I’m sick. On top of that my Arnie I just got last week went out on me 2 days in. So this is definitely something to help take my mind off of things. Thanks for the great quality video TGV
Original Arnie or the re-issue?
@@JF-lt5zc reissue
Is it obligatory to wear the bracelet when diving? A tropic strap is provided for that reason. Personally, I think it's a great watch and I am thinking seriously to buy it.
Good point. I honestly wish they would offer it for less just on the strap. It's a killer watch, despite all the shortcomings, if you go for it, you will certainly enjoy it. I still recommend it and I can't deny, while I have waaaaay too many divers, I still will be sad returning this review sample.
Thank you, I hope you go for it.
Best regards,
TGV
My Squale 1521 Azzurro COSC edition is by far my favourite summer watch. Incredible value and so much heritage. Recently paired it with a black/black loopless sailcloth strap with deployant. Chef's kiss!
#pureclass
The ultimate summer watch indeed!
Thank you and enjoy,
Best regards,
TGV
Thank you for introducing me, intimately, with this incredible brand 🙏 Love them!
There are a lot of antecdotes of Squale's quality control being unacceptable recently. Any comment on this, TGV?
Excellent question. Thank you for asking. With regards to this sample that was loaned in to make the review, I could not find any discernible issues in quality. However, I too have heard things and seemly more now than before. While it would be disingenuous to comment on issues I have experienced myself, this leads me to advise tried and test method of recommending ADs that go beyond others in making sure the watch you buy is as it should be. I have purchased Squale watches from both Marc at LIW and Gnomon, who are both ADs for Squale and the watches were perfect as a result. I can not speak for ordering directly from them however, as I have never personally done so and mostly likely what not do so. I also like to minimize as much risk as possible when buying a watch, no matter how much I love the brand or who they are.
I hope that helps, thanks again.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry thanks for that response, TGV!
I have a question if anyone can answer it. Why does it seem that dive watches only depend on spring bars? Why not a secure system like NATO where both spring bars would have to fail, to lose the watch? Thanks in advance.
I accept the alternative challenge, and i raise you a certina ds super ph500m, amazing video TGV
As far as this Titanium Masterpiece is concerned, it's a great looking watch. You covered all of the points that I use in choosing a more expensive piece plus one that I would've overlooked. However, at it's price point, Squale has a few more options that I would grab instead. Thanks for the independent content!😎
The problem with Squale is which one to pick? Top notch review as always TGV. Happy Easter.
I really wish Squale would make the 1521 with more modest dimensions. Literally no one was asking for a watch that can go 1200m, but I'm sure many would absolutely love to see one 38-40mm (*including* the bezel) and 11-12mm thick. I know I wouldn't think twice about buying one. The thickness is a big deal. 200m of water resistance is fine if it means the watch will look and wear better!
(I know the Super-Squale has those dimensions, but I... really don't like the styling.)
P.S. Also please no more fake patina. :(
Keep up the good work tgv!absolutely love your videos and squale!
this is a nice watch and I love the date being used, for me, I need a date 🤓 and the sizing is prefect for me well done Squale.
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.
🤣🤣🤣 I noticed the same error, spelling mistake aside, it's a very strange slogan that doesn't not make sense. Thankfully, their watches make more sense, enjoy your Tudor, the Pelagos is still IMO their best watch.
Best regards,
TGV
For me, it just has to do what they say it does, don't want more, certainly don't want less. I feel Squale delivers.
I don't get why everyone praises the cases. I have a 1545 and the case brushing is disappointing :[
Amazing video!! Love it!However what brand are your earphones ?
Mi hai fatto venire la curiosità e mi piace molto il 2002 ma, ho provato innumerevoli volte a scegliere la valuta euro, però non mi è mai comparso il prezzo, peccato allora ho provato a cercarlo su amazon, senza successo. Comunque complimenti per il canale.
Man you really give the gift of appreciation. We understand through story.
Just getting into running… man it’s hard in the beginning. Great video
No surprise that you would knock out another superb review. I agree that Squale is underrated, but that makes the company even more desirable to me. I've enjoyed my 1521 Profesional and of all the divers in my collection, it gets the most wrist time!
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you my friend.
As always, appreciated deeply. O&U!
T.
Excellent video dude. Lots of work must have went into this one. Answered all my questions and helped me make up my mind about this piece. Keep it up 👍🏼
So happy to hear that, I'm glad I could help, thank you, onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
Incredibile, la ghiera non è allineata, Squale non si smentisce mai!
I had a moment where I was considering selling my 1521 polished blue, but I can’t bring myself to do it. It’s too beautiful.
I respect that TGV mentioned the negatives although he is a long time Squale fan. I'd love to see a TGV review about that gnomon edition Squale Tributo Blue with modified ETA movement and hand made Guilloché dial. It is more likely an anniversary model than this.
Might have slightly missed the mark. Speaking of European independent brands, what do you think of the new Yema GMT redesign?
Evening TGV, Squale are definitely an underrated brand which maybe a result of your average watch guy (not real enthusiast) knowing about their quality or herology history. They’re definitely missing out… 👍
👏👏👏 So true, well said and thank you.
Best regards,

That's very remarkable for what it is and what it does. The fact that it's less expensive and has better titanium than Tudor tells me i must pay more attention to Squale. Quite compact too for such a rating. Only downside is that bizarre clasp.
Squale is a legendary. I still need one. Aquadive has my attention aswell. Great video brotha 👌My only problem with titanium is you have to be gentle with the crown threads. Because they love to strip. Alot easier than stainless steel
I prefer they stay overlooked. I love my 1521, and its in rotation a week every month. I dont feel a desire to get a different one. The blue dial is magical.
👏👏👏
Well said, truly magic.
Thank you, stay stylish my friend.
Best regards

Proper cup of English breakfast tea and a new, splendid as always, TGV video: uplifting combination.
I only have one Squale but I love it, probably my favorite watch in my collection.
Thanks TGV, have a great Easter Holiday!
Thank you my friend, same to you! Have a wonderful Easter.
Best regards,
TGV
