Squale 1545 "Sand Shark" Limited Edition Dive Watch #1545TGV.AC

* This is a limited run of 100 units. All units are now sold out. No more will be made.

Squale has teamed up with TGV of popular YouTube channel, The Urban Gentry, to bring you a limited run of 100 pieces of their popular 1545 dive watch. Setting itself apart from the regular production models, this limited run boasts a deep burgundy bezel with gold relief markings, gold tone markers with 3/6/9 marking, and a true “no-date” Sellita SW200-1 movement. The colors and teeth like markers were inspired by the Sand Shark species that the watch is named after. There is no ghost position or clicking. Each piece is individually numbered on the caseback.

New for 2022 and beyond, Squale has refined their epic 1545 case design and watches. Designed for those who love every aspect of water sports, the 1545 is the ideal companion for a day of intense water activity – or just hanging out if water is not your thing! With the 300 meter water resistance rating, the Squale 1545 has you covered!

Just what is the meaning of “1545”? Launched by Squale in the 1970’s, the case was originally produced for other brands when Squale was known as the expert in water resistant cases. Y1545 was the serial number of the case that would come to define a whole lineup of watches, 50 years later.

The case is a very comfortable 40mm in diameter, and is just 12mm thin. With a lug to lug of 48mm, the 1545 collection is an ideal size for many different wrists, from small up to large. Powering the watch is a Sellita SW200-1 movement. This 26 jewel Swiss automatic movement offers handwinding, hacking (seconds hand stops when you set the time) and a power reserve of about 40 hours. The screwdown crown is extra large for ease of manipulation, and a red witness ring is located at the root of the crown tube, so you can tell at a glance (before submerging) if your crown is screwed down tightly.

The watch is topped with a flat sapphire crystal, with anti-reflective (glare) treatment applied to the inner surface. The dive bezel is 120 click, uni-directional and ratcheting – topped with an aluminum insert with luminous pip. The dial is treated with C3 Super-LumiNova, and hands are treated with C3 also to provide nighttime viewing.

The black dial has gold writing to match the bezel markings. Applied markers are used, and accents bring the dial to life. Securing it to your wrist is a 20mm solid link, solid endlink bracelet that is sized with screws and has a diver’s extension.
