Oscar Squale Master Diver 100 Atmos
Oscar Squale Master Diver 100 Atmos
A brand borne in the 50’s out of the need to provide reliable watches to a burgeoning sport diving industry, Squale were renowned for their high quality dive watches and were considered innovators in their chosen field.
Their reputation was such that other companies soon began commissioning them to build dive watches for them, and this is the reason you now see many co-branded Squale dive watches from the 60’s and 70’s. During this period they sponsored many of the greatest sports-divers, and from this the Master series of 1000m water resistant was borne.
The version we have here is an Oscar-branded piece dating from the 70’s. The case is in superb vintage condition. The case lines are sharp, and does not show signs of over polishing. Has dings, dents and scratching commensurate with its age. Crown is signed. Serial number clearly visible between the lugs.
The bi-directional acrylic dive bezel is in lovely condition with its tritium number and marker inserts glowing under UV light.
The domed sunburst gradient dial is original and in amazing condition, with only a few small marks. All tritium plots have been removed at some point. Tritium is present in the hands, and show some minor cracking. High dome acrylic crustal shows some marks.
Please see images for full condition details.
Service history specifics are unknown. The inside of the case back shows a few service marks, which we believe may be 2015 and 2017. It’s running at around +13 secs per day at 280 degrees of amplitude.
Currently mounted on a black Tropic strap, and comes with a Watch Vault travel case and cleaning cloth.
A superb example of a stunning dive watch.
