The Squale Drass S.A.V.E.R. Mens Watch VONDSSSAVS represents the pinnacle of Swiss dive watch engineering, born from a unique collaboration between Squale, renowned for Swiss professional dive watches, and DRASS, a global leader in submarine and deep-sea technology. Designed for extreme underwater missions, this exceptional timepiece draws inspiration directly from the world of submarine rescue operations. Squale’s long-standing heritage in manufacturing reliable dive watches since the 1950s combines with DRASS’s advanced underwater systems to create a watch that reflects the highest standards of performance, precision, and durability.

The DRASS S.A.V.E.R. project celebrates the cutting-edge SAVER submarine rescue system, one of the most advanced underwater rescue platforms in operation today. Used by modern naval forces including the Italian Navy, the system integrates a Submarine Rescue Vehicle (SRV), Rescue Capsule (SRC), Ventilation System (SVS), operational ROV capable of reaching depths of up to 600 metres, and a portable launch and recovery system for rapid deployment in emergency situations. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to reliability in the most demanding environments. Building on the success of the 2022 Squale DRASS Periscope model, the new DRASS S.A.V.E.R. watch represents the next evolution in this partnership, combining professional dive watchmaking with real-world underwater technology.

For this special edition, Squale has selected its iconic Master case, crafted from brushed 316L stainless steel for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. The case measures 41.5mm in diameter, 16mm in thickness, with a 49mm lug-to-lug length and 20mm lug width, creating a powerful presence suited to professional use. The screw-down crown positioned at 3 o’clock, highlighted by a distinctive red O-ring, allows quick visual confirmation that the crown is properly sealed, helping ensure water resistance up to an impressive 50 ATM (500 metres). A screw-in caseback further reinforces the watch’s robust construction, while the design has been tested for the extreme underwater conditions encountered by DRASS submarine professionals.

The watch’s bold military-inspired aesthetic features a steel BUND-style bezel and a black dial with striking yellow DRASS S.A.V.E.R. accents, providing exceptional readability in challenging environments. The dial is treated with Super-LumiNova BGW9, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light or underwater conditions. This professional dive watch is delivered with two straps for versatility: a custom leather strap with yellow stitching for everyday wear and the durable Von Büren Pro rubber strap designed for underwater performance. Completing the package is an exclusive water- and shock-resistant presentation box, reinforcing the watch’s mission-ready character.

Powering the watch is the reliable Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, finished to the Elaboré grade for enhanced precision and durability. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 26 jewels and provides a 38-hour power reserve, offering dependable performance consistent with Squale’s reputation for high-quality Swiss dive watches.

What we love about the Squale Drass S.A.V.E.R. Mens Watch VONDSSSAVS is how authentically it connects professional Swiss dive watch craftsmanship with the real-world technology used in submarine rescue missions. The rugged Master case, military-inspired design, and distinctive DRASS accents create a watch that feels purpose-built for extreme environments while remaining striking on the wrist. For collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of Swiss watchmaking heritage and cutting-edge underwater engineering, the VONDSSSAVS stands out as a truly unique Squale dive watch.
