Squale 1545 Owner Review : Versatile, bold and daring

It was supposed to be my 40th birthday present. I bought it because I wanted a watch that ticked several boxes. First, I wanted a historic micro brand. Then I wanted something that stood out from current watches that more or less followed a trend. And finally, a ceramic bezel to complete the bling-bling look but not too much. I had been watching the Squale brand for some time and I find their history really interesting for the innovations that the Von Bühren were able to develop for other brands and then their own. And the brand's legacy to loyal and respected resellers by the founders was important to me. And so I see this 1545 which remains the most affordable option I think at Squale. I had an immediate crush when I saw the white and gold so harmonious. I waited a little before receiving it and what a crazy effect it had on me when I saw it in real life. The 39 mm diameter is perfect especially with a rather massive but so qualitative bracelet. I can't find any fault with it and so many details that are perfect! The railroad indexes at 3 6 9 and 12 o'clock are a little wider and orange, magnificent. The baton indexes of 6 9 and 12 and the other round ones circled with gold PVD are very shiny at night and the brushed real also supports its technical side because it is waterproof to 300 meters! The small red seal at the base of the signed crown recalls the historical side of the brand. Oh yes, the only small fault that I would find is that the date window could have been circled in gold too ^^
