This special timepiece celebrates \u003cstrong\u003e100 years since Roberto Galeazzi patented his revolutionary spherical structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, an engineering innovation that made the extreme depths of the sea more accessible. Galeazzi's inventions would later play a key role in one of the most celebrated treasure recoveries in maritime history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e1926–2026: 100 Years of Innovation in the Deep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1926, Roberto Galeazzi patented the \u003cstrong\u003espherical structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, an engineering principle designed to redefine how humans could withstand the crushing pressures encountered in the deep sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around this same principle, Galeazzi's \u003cstrong\u003eBathyscaphic Tower\u003c\/strong\u003e made history in 1932 aboard the \u003cem\u003eArtiglio\u003c\/em\u003e. The invention helped locate and recover the cargo of the ocean liner \u003cstrong\u003eSS Egypt\u003c\/strong\u003e, which had sunk in the English Channel off the United Kingdom at a depth of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e130 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recovered cargo included gold bars estimated to be worth approximately \u003cstrong\u003e$500 million today\u003c\/strong\u003e. An undertaking considered impossible at the time, the recovery captured international attention and earned Galeazzi the nickname \u003cstrong\u003e“the Wizard of the Deep.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSquale Galeazzi Artiglio: History Brought to the Wrist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing together maritime history, professional diving instrumentation, and a pioneering spirit, Squale developed the \u003cstrong\u003eSquale Galeazzi Artiglio\u003c\/strong\u003e at the specific request of DRASS. It represents the latest chapter in the collaboration between the two companies, five years after the success of their first model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this edition, Squale has revived a safety technology found in some of the earliest professional diving watches: the \u003cstrong\u003eWet Indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated into the \u003cstrong\u003ePantone 295U blue dial\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Wet Indicator is an internal humidity-detection disc designed to signal water ingress into the case through a change in color. Long before modern water-resistance testing instruments became standard, early professional diving watches incorporated indicators of this type, giving divers an immediate way to verify the condition of their instrument and its reliability at depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding another historical detail, the \u003cstrong\u003eDRASS Galeazzi logo\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring the unmistakable diving helmet, is screen-printed onto the inner surface of the \u003cstrong\u003eflat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. The printing technique creates a distinctive floating effect, making the logo appear to hover above the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch features a \u003cstrong\u003e39.5 mm case\u003c\/strong\u003e measuring \u003cstrong\u003e12.6 mm thick\u003c\/strong\u003e, crafted from \u003cstrong\u003ebrushed 316L stainless steel with polished bevels\u003c\/strong\u003e. Water resistance is rated to an impressive \u003cstrong\u003e600 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both the crown and case back are screw-down, while the case back is engraved with the \u003cstrong\u003eDRASS Galeazzi logo\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic ETA 2824-2 movement\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a \u003cstrong\u003e42-hour power reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A second \u003cstrong\u003ePantone 295U blue rubber strap with a Mosaic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an alternative look while matching the color of the dial and bezel.
