Squale 1521 Blue Ray Rubber 1521PROFD.HT
The shape of the very slim and comfortable case is called "Von Buren". The goal behind the creation of the prototype of the Squale 1521 model presented today was to create a relatively elegant, solid watch that could meet the high expectations of professional divers, but could also be used on a daily basis.
This goal was achieved perfectly. To this day, many watch brands, the so-called microbrands, offer watches to a greater or lesser extent based on this concept. We also remember that during the creation of this line, the Squale company was a subcontractor of many eminent watch manufacturers, whose offer included twin similar diving models. In many cases also with the Squale logo placed along with the name of the main company. At that time, the possibility of "showing off" to the customer that the manufacturer of the cases for the watch was the Squale brand added to the attractiveness.
As a result of Charles Von Buren's vision, it turned out that Squale watches, including the 1521 line, are a perfect example that the function of a watch can follow the chosen form.
Features such as attractive design, crown slightly recessed in the case and thus protected, excellent readability or a very comfortable case with a slim line, fitted to the wrist, or a slightly protruding - and thus convenient to use - rotating bezel, did not prevent achieving another goal, which is above-average durability and water resistance expected from a high-end, even professional diving watch.
In this case, this water resistance is up to 500 atmospheres.
SQUALE history
Charles and Hélène von Büren founded the watchmaker Von Büren SA in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. They soon turned their destiny into the ultimate unexplored field of diving watches and began producing reliable, durable, high-quality watches under the Squale brand.
In 1959, under the supervision of Charles, Von Büren SA registered the Squale trademark and obtained the first patent for a new patent for a diving watch case.
Having a reliable, waterproof, watch was a diver's word back then. In those years, the versions were the only ones that could use divers to calculate dive times, so they were considered one of the payers to keep divers safe.The shape of the very slim and comfortable case is called "Von Buren".
