“Wow, I just love the latest incarnation of the Squale 200 meter diver 1545 series. My first, but most likely, not last Squale. The attention to detail and throw-back to the 1960s military dive watches is clear, but not just a carbon-copy homage. Some of the details such as the black second hand, and sword minute/hour hands makes this watch more of an original feel than a Tutor or Submariner copy. I also love the slenderness and weight, especially compared to the larger watches such as the Seiko 007. I opted to immediately use a Horween brown leather strap, which elevates this watch to a whole new level.
Well done Squale and of course, excellent service as always from Marc at Long Island Watch!
Highly recommended and highly pleased to add this to my collection.”
“I own 5 dive watches, from $180 to $1200. The 1545 is absolutely perfect! The quality and the style leaves nothing to want. I watched Mark's video and ordered one!

“At 40mm, this is the smallest watch I own. I know this is a classic size but I have an Omega Planet Ocean, a quartz Seamaster, a couple of Seikos SKX's, and an Orient Mako XL (also from Island watch). So I skew larger. But I took a deep breath and put on this beautiful watch - and I haven't taken it off in the week since it arrived except to sleep. The sapphire crystal and black ceramic bezel are beautiful and rich in appearance and the faux patina on the hands and markers give it a really special look. The bracelet is sturdy (solid end links) and gorgeous as well. And, though I'm not a freak about the accuracy of a mechanical watch unless it's really off, the watch has gained exactly 1 minute in the last week. That's under 9 seconds a day (but who's counting). Conclusion: this is one great watch with fantastic features for its price point and I can't stop looking at it on my wrist!”
