Limited edition of 500 pcs. This watch is part of the first batch of 250 pcs.
To celebrate its 65 years in business, Square has partnered again with the Italian Navy (Marina Militare) to commemorate a long and fruitful relationship that began forty years ago when Squale supplied watches to the Navy for the first time.
This year is particularly important for the Italian Navy because it is celebrating its underwater activities in 2024. Creating a dive watch for the occasion was a significant choice.
The 1521 Marina Militare is a limited edition of 500 pieces, designed to be a celebratory, historic and high-performance watch. The choice of the 1521 collection is symbolic, since the first model Squale supplied to the Navy was a 1521. This legacy is carried forward with the creation of this functional and evocative timepiece.
Only a handful of the original 1521 watches supplied to the Navy in the 1980s have survived to the present day. This is because the watches were supplied to the divers as military-grade tools, and so, after their use, were returned and destroyed, as per protocol. Luckily, the G.O.S Museum in La Spezia has kept one.
The official Navy logo is orange, as are the iconic minute hands of Squale diving watches, including the 1521 models. This remarkable timepiece features the Navy logo in orange at 6 o’clock along with the minute track on the dial around the flange.
For this limited edition, the iconic minute hand comes in orange SuperLuminova with a white edge to perfectly match the shade of SuperLuminova features on the first quarter of the bezel.
The logo of the Italian Navy and the edition number are shown on the caseback. These details add historic and symbolic value, making it a unique and remarkable timepiece.
To enhance the functionality of this watch, the 1521 Marina Militare comes with a water-resistant, black, microfiber strap with orange stitching and an additional Squale-branded, natural rubber, black strap.
The 1521 Marina Militare comes in a box set that includes a waterproof case with the Marina Militare emblem.
