Squale 1521 42mm 1521OCN.PC
The Squale 1521 Ocean Leather Mens Watch 1521OCN.PC represents the enduring legacy of Swiss-made Squale dive watches, combining professional underwater capability with refined craftsmanship. Squale has been a respected name in Swiss dive watch manufacturing since the 1950s, producing robust timepieces trusted by divers and collectors worldwide. The iconic 1521 collection stands as the brand’s signature design, blending heritage engineering, exceptional durability, and timeless style. With its striking ocean-inspired aesthetic and premium leather strap, this model offers a sophisticated take on a professional dive watch while maintaining the rugged reliability that defines the Squale name.
At the core of this watch is the legendary 1521 case, originally created in the 1960s by Charles Von Büren, founder of Squale. The name “1521” comes from the original production reference assigned to the distinctive Von Büren case back, a design that remains remarkably faithful to its historic origins. Developed during the pioneering era of dive watches, this case was engineered to withstand extreme underwater conditions and delivers an impressive 50 ATM (500 metres) water resistance, ensuring confidence for serious divers and ocean adventurers. Crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel with a polished finish, the case measures 42mm in diameter, 12.5mm in thickness, with a 48mm lug-to-lug length and 20mm lug width, creating a strong yet balanced wrist presence.
One of Squale’s most recognisable design features is the crown positioned at 4 o’clock, a hallmark of the brand’s dive watches. More than just a distinctive aesthetic element, this placement was carefully designed to protect the crown from accidental knocks during dives that could cause it to unscrew and compromise water resistance. Complementing this practical design is the unidirectional 120-click diving bezel, featuring a non-slip ridged edge for precise grip even in wet conditions. Divers can easily align the bezel triangle with the minute hand to track elapsed dive time with accuracy and safety.
The watch is further built for reliability with a screw-in crown and screw-in caseback, reinforcing the watch’s impressive water resistance and structural integrity. Paired with a comfortable leather strap, the Squale 1521 Ocean Leather offers versatility—delivering professional dive watch performance with a refined everyday look that transitions seamlessly from ocean exploration to modern daily wear.
What we love about the Squale 1521 Ocean Leather Mens Watch 1521OCN.PC is how it blends authentic Swiss dive watch heritage with distinctive design and premium materials. The historic Von Büren case, signature 4 o’clock crown, and high-performance dive bezel reflect Squale’s deep roots in professional underwater timekeeping. Combined with its ocean-inspired styling and versatile leather strap, the 1521OCN.PC stands out as a bold yet timeless Squale dive watch for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
