Squale Montauk 300 Meter Swiss Made Automatic Dive Watch with Sapphire Crystal #MTK-01

This new Squale MTK-01 is a 300 meter dive watch designed exclusively for the American market. The nickname given to the watch is Montauk, which is a popular tourist destination at the east end of Long Island, NY.

Montauk is known for its beaches, fishing and strong Atlantic surf. It has a historical 1796 landmark lighthouse that houses documents signed by George Washington. It is also known for the mysterious Camp Hero State Park (once a U.S. WWII Military base) and for the Montauk monster found washed up on a beach back in 2008.

The case diameter for the Squale MTK-01 is 38mm and it’s 12mm thick with a lug to lug measurement of 46mm. The case is made from 316L stainless steel that features a combination of polished and satin finishes. The screw-down caseback has an etched Squale logo and the crown has an embossed version of the logo.

The Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 powers the watch and it is secured in the case with a metal holder. For increased accuracy, the Swiss movement is adjusted to five positions. The uni-directional diver marked bezel has a K1 mineral insert with a vintage colored SuperLuminova triangle marker. An aged vintage color SuperLuminova is also used on the hands and hour markers for reading the time in the dark. To enhance dial clarity Squale uses a flat sapphire crystal that has an anti-reflective coating on the inside surface. The watch comes with an Italian leather strap with contrasting stitching at the lugs to compliment the style of the watch.
