SQUALE X DRASS UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGIES
Watches for those who live the sea, instruments for those who master it.
Squale and Drass Underwater Technologies renew their collaboration with the presentation of a timepiece directly inspired by the world of submarines: the Squale DRASS SAVER watch. Designed for professionals operating aboard these imposing underwater machines, it debuts today in a robust and exclusive edition.
Squale and Drass embody two complementary excellences: on one side, Swiss tradition in professional dive watchmaking, and on the other, Italian leadership in submarine construction and deep-sea technologies. United by a long history and the same pioneering spirit, they present the new Squale DRASS S.A.V.E.R. model, inspired by the innovative SAVER rescue system, designed to ensure safe and effective rescue operations even in the most extreme marine conditions.
SAVER – The Future of Submarine Rescue Has Arrived
The SAVER submarine rescue system is today the most advanced and versatile rescue solution in operation. Think of it as a true “Swiss Army knife” for underwater emergencies: it integrates a Submarine Rescue Vehicle (SRV), a Submarine Rescue Capsule (SRC), a Submarine Ventilation System (SVS), an operational ROV (up to 600 meters deep), and a Portable Launch & Recovery System, all ready to be deployed anywhere in the world, when every second counts.
The Collaboration
Following the success of the DRASS Periscope model, created in 2022 initially for ubmarine operators and later released to the public, Squale and Drass strengthen their partnership with the Squale DRASS S.A.V.E.R. project. This new watch represents the natural evolution of a collaboration built on reliability and innovation. With the DRASS SAVER, the two companies reaffirm their leadership in their respective fields, uniting Swiss watchmaking tradition with underwater technological excellence.
The Watch
For this unique project, the Squale has chosen the iconic and historic Master case (brushed Stainless Steel 316L), with one distinctive feature: unlike the previous Periscope model, the crown is positioned at 3 o’clock and fitted with a red O-ring, allowing an immediate visual control of closure while ensuring water resistance up to 50 ATM (500 meters). In fact, the Master case has been tested at even greater depths, ensuring its suitability for professional use by the highly specialized operators of the DRASS submarines. Its military inspiration is evident in the steel BUND bezel (from “Bundeswehr,” the German Army, referring to watches supplied to the military with specific aesthetic and functional features such as a bezel without markings), while the black dial features the yellow DRASS SAVER logo, echoed on the minute hand, the seconds hand, and the Super-LumiNova BGW9 indexes.
The watch comes with a custom leather strap with yellow stitching and SAVER logo, as well as a black Von Büren Pro rubber strap, all housed in an exclusive water- and shock-resistant box
