Squale Master Palombari del Comsubin Dive Watch
In Italian, ‘Palombaro’ means diver - and Squale is proud to introduce the latest in a long line of dive watches: the Squale Master for the divers of the Comsubin, an elite department of the Italian Navy specialised in complex underwater operations.
This new Squale Master x Palombari del Comsubin is being produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces. Only 420 are available to the public, as the first 80 are reserved for operational use by the Comsubin divers themselves.
As expected from the ultimate underwater tool watch, this is an exceptional timepiece featuring technical characteristics that guarantee excellent performance even in extreme conditions, having been designed in collaboration with professional divers.
For this distinguished collaboration, it was decided to use the revived historic Squale “Master” case. This model was one of the first cases designed by Squale's founder, Charles Von Büren, in the 60s. Over time, the Squale Master became an established name in the world of diving enthusiasts, as famous freedivers such as Enzo Maiorca and Jacques Mayol chose it as their reliable companion during their underwater adventures. The technical characteristics of this pioneering watch guaranteed water resistance up to a depth of 1000 meters.
With the aim of creating an even higher performance product for the renewed collaboration with the Italian Navy, the Master case has undergone some technical improvements (such as the introduction of the helium valve and the addition of a 4 millimeter-thick sapphire crystal) to withstand depths of up to 1200 meters. The Drass Galeazzi company (world leader in the production of submarines) carried out the case water resistant tests in their laboratories and certified the resistance up to 120 ATM. This is also the very first Squale watch made entirely of Grade 5 titanium.
