Gestern ist die schöne neue Squale angekommen.
Auf der Squale-Homepage nicht zu finden wird sie über Gnomon Watches in Singapur angeboten.
Gnomon hat noch ein NATO-Band, eine Wechselwerkzeug und ein Tuch zur Reinigung (im Kissen) dazugepackt.
Hier einmal die Daten, die Gnomon auf seinen Homepage angibt.
The Squale 50 ATMOS Bronzo Anthracite - Limited Edition is the latest model introduced by Squale. The 50 ATMOS Bronze is available in 2 colors, Anthracite and Brown, and they are limited to 65 pieces each.
What makes the 50 ATMOS Bronzo so attractive is of course the bronze case. As Italian brands started the whole bronze frenzy. This whole new case from Squale is made entirely in Italy.
It’s a watch with a lot of wrist presence, but the rather short lug-to-lug case makes this watch ultra wearable even on the smallest of wrist. Compared to the stainless steel sibling, the bronze has a 1mm wider case and beefier lugs for a more masculine look.
the bezel, mid case and caseback. Starting from the top, the new bezel has an all new bezel knurling design for better grip even in wet conditions. What really stands out is the 2 piece bezel. The bezel is bronze and the bezel inlay is made from a separate piece of bronze. The only reason why is this done this way is so that Squale can play with a mixture of finishing through the case, bezel and bezel insert. The watch employs a total of 4 finishing throughout the case, from heavier satin brushed on the side of the case to medium satin brushed on the top of the case to the light circular brushing on the bezel inlay. What these finishings provide is that they allow the case to catch different amount of light depending on the finishing, for an exquisite look.
The dial is another point of distinction. The anthracite dial is done with a sunburst effect. And to give the dial depth and dimensions, Squale has recessed the edge of the dial with a ring of stamped guilloche. This time round, Squale has also employed the used of large applied index. The new set of hands are sandblasted and finished in bronze for a matching looks. The stark contrast between the sunburst dial, guilloche ring, applied index, matte hands and light satin brushed bronze bezel insert really gives the watch quite a charm that is only possible through minute details.
Good amount of Super Luminova C3 is used on the dial for a good glow in the dark. The numbers on the bronze bezel insert are also engraved and filled with luminous for in the dark operations, though they do not glow as well as the dial.
With functionality in mind, the Squale's new bronze model is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the inside to ensure maximum readability regardless of lighting conditions.

Eine sehr spannende Uhr. Die verschiedenen Gehäusebearbeitungen und das Farbenspiel kommt auf Photos leider kaum rüber.
Die Uhr wirkt je nach Beleuchtung und Lichteinfall immer wieder anders.
Die Ablesbarkeit ist gut, aber nicht überragend (so wie bei Sinn). Das liegt auch an dem gewölbten Glas.
Daher hier noch Bilder von der Gnomon-Homepage.
