Squale 60 atmos
limited edition

Interesting features:
Power reserve (winds very smoothly)
Internal magnified date at 12:00
3 dimensional bezel - applied markers covered with bakelight/acrylic
c3 lume
push and click bezel

Movement: Swiss ETA 2892-A2 Automatic (self-winding)
Case: 316L stainless steel, 44mm x 16mm thick.
Back: Sapphire exhibition back
Crystal: Sapphire Crystal
Band: Leather and Rubber strap, buckle closure, 22mm.
Water Resistant: 600 meters

A bit expensive new, but these are showing up at significant discounts used

Time Keeping: This one is excellent. 1 second a day or better since I've been timing it (4 days so far)

Color: The deep midnight blue is perfect. Also, the edge of the dial, where the minute markers start, is black. It's a subtle shift in color which really works great, and it adds richness to the dial.

Bezel: The three dimensional bezel seems to be exclusive to Squale. The applied markers are silver and reflect light. It may be too flashy for some. I like it, but if you're a big fan of tool watches than you probably wouldn't.

Hands: The hands are nicely brushed and look to be of very high quality.

Case: 44mm isn't massively large, but it takes away from the vintage feel. I would have preferred 40-42mm

Overall: If you're in the market for a Squale Master, go for the blue dial. It's mesmerizing.
