The beater I don't worry about — 300m water resistance, steel bezel that can take a knock, rubber strap that handles water and sweat. ## Why I Chose It - Genuine dive heritage (Squale made cases for Blancpain, Doxa, Sinn in the 60s–70s) - 300m WR — serious dive spec without luxury-diver pricing - 40mm wears well, not oversized - Steel bezel ages gracefully with scratches (character, not damage) - Keeps the dive slot covered without needing a $5,000+ Tudor or Omega ## See Also - [[Squale]] — brand overview - [[My Watch Collection]] - [[Watch Wish List]]
