Squale 1521 Militaire Blasted Black Dial Steel Strap Men's Watch 1521MILBL.SQ20S

The Squale 1521 Militaire Blasted Bracelet combines the practical layout of the Militaire series with a fully blasted finish that gives the watch a more understated appearance. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 42mm in diameter, 48mm from lug to lug and 12.5mm thick, while the blasted treatment extends across the case and bracelet to reduce reflections and emphasise its tool-watch character. Beneath the flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, the black dial features printed hour markers and broad hands filled with Super-LumiNova C3 for enhanced legibility. A unidirectional bezel with an aluminium insert and sixty-minute diving scale completes the watch's professional specification.

Swiss Automatic Movement

Powering the 1521 Militaire Blasted Bracelet is the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement in Elaboré grade. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and equipped with 26 jewels, the calibre provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve while supporting both hacking and hand-winding functions. The movement is housed within a case fitted with a screw-down crown and solid screw-in caseback, contributing to the watch's substantial water resistance of 50 ATM. Combining reliable Swiss engineering with robust construction, the SW200-1 complements the purposeful nature of the 1521 collection.

Blasted Stainless Steel Bracelet

The 1521 Militaire is paired with a blasted stainless steel bracelet that matches the finish of the case and reinforces the watch's utilitarian design. Measuring 20mm wide and secured by a deployment clasp, the bracelet balances durability with everyday comfort while maintaining the cohesive appearance of the watch. The uniform blasted finish gives the model a distinctive character compared with the polished versions of the 1521.

Military Inspired

One of the defining features of the Militaire models is their simplified, no-date layout, which places the emphasis on immediate readability. The dial also adopts a cleaner design with a single Squale logo and enlarged printed markers, reinforcing the watch's functional approach and military-inspired character. Combined with the blasted finish, these details give the watch a more technical and understated appearance.

Another hallmark of the 1521 collection is the crown positioned at 4 o'clock, a practical solution developed to improve comfort on the wrist and reduce the risk of accidental knocks during active use. Together with its 500-metre water resistance and historic Von Büren case profile, the 1521 Militaire Blasted Bracelet delivers a focused interpretation of Squale's best-known dive watch.
