Unleash Your Inner Diver with Squale's Marina Militare Limited-Edition Watch

Nothing quite completes a seaside vacation like a robust and ritzy dive watch, and with July 2026 unfolding, summer seems to beg for such a piece. And no one knows the majestic depths of the sea — let alone, traversing them with flair — than Italy’s very own Navy. Squale brings to the fore a vintage-styled, high-capability limited-edition piece: the Squale 2001 Marina Militare. This unisex dive watch goes beyond traditional timepieces with its distinct, vibrant appeal — all while hailing as the pioneer public release of collaboration designs by Squale, issued by the Italian Navy. With a significantly larger stainless steel case than its predecessor, the watch boasts a refreshing funky charm from the ’70s. Its streamlined tonneau case shape blends effortlessly with the chunky, full-scale bidirectional bezel, endorsed by the brand’s unique press-lock system to avoid unintended adjustments. Its solid caseback is adorned with the elaborate crest of the Italian Navy, signifying the exclusive partnership. The watch showcases a bolder iteration of 2001, accentuating its vintage appeal with an eye-catching sunburst blue dial finish, conceived to match the Italian Navy’s dress uniforms. A faintly warm, sand-hued lume fill endows the watch with a retro touch, while the logo of ‘Marina Militare’ at 6 ‘o clock brings harmony to the overall design. A highly robust and precise companion for the wearer, it houses an elaboré-grade Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. A textured rubber strap in navy blue and a ladder bracelet accompany the Squale 2001 Marina Militare to round off the look and ensure wrist comfort. With only 500 pieces available, this timepiece comes at an MSRP of $1,965 as the ultimate addition to any watch collection.
