[Rags]

This is my 3rd Squale that I’ve purchased. It is definitely a homage to the Rolex Military watch from years ago. Steinhart also makes their version. The reason I go with Squale is the way the case sits on the wrist. I like the way it feels. It’s just as comfortable as my Submariner. I don’t like the way the Steinhart case is shaped & their original Military was 42mm although they just came out with a 39mm.

The 1545 Militaire has a 40mm case powered by a ETA-2824-2 elaborated grade movement, with hacking & hand winding. Power reserve of 42 hrs. A domed sapphire crystal coated with anti-reflective on the inside. Solid endlinks with a divers extension and a engraved ceramic bezel filled with silver gilt.

The all brushed bracelet has screw in links.

The dial is matte black with sword hands & the lume is SuperLuminova GL old radium.

Dollar for dollar IMO you can’t find a better watch. The one thing I wish they would change is the dial which has Squale twice but it’s not a deal breaker for me.

I purchased this watch from Gnomon watches in Singapore for $570.00. I ordered it on Monday morning & it arrived on Friday morning.
