Squale, the respected name in dive watches, has officially unveiled the Sub-37 Legend, a fresh addition built for enthusiasts who want classic underwater capability in a slightly smaller, more wearable size. With a 37 mm case and a clean, no-nonsense aesthetic, this new release leans into the brand’s heritage while delivering the durability divers expect.
The Sub-37 Legend keeps things refreshingly simple on the dial. There’s no day window and no date cutout to interrupt the layout. Instead, you get a striking black dial with clear hour markers and indexes designed for quick reading at a glance. To boost legibility in low light, Squale coats the markers with SuperLuminova in an “old radium” tone, giving it a vintage-inspired look while still providing modern visibility. That same luminous treatment also appears on the dive scale of the unidirectional bezel, helping users track elapsed time more easily during dives or timing tasks.
Durability is a major part of this release. The watch comes in a 316L stainless steel case and is rated for 300 meters (30 bar) of water resistance, positioning it as a serious tool watch suitable for real diving conditions. The dial is protected by sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, aimed at reducing glare and keeping the face easy to read in bright sun or harsh lighting.
Inside, Squale equips the Sub-37 Legend with the Swiss-made automatic Sellita SW200 movement. It’s a widely trusted mechanical caliber in this category, and Squale notes an approximate 41-hour power reserve, making it practical for everyday wear without constant winding.
One detail that will stand out to potential buyers is the strap setup. There’s no stainless steel bracelet option for this model. Instead, it comes paired with a Bonetto strap made from Italian vulcanized rubber in black, a fitting match for the black dial and bezel. Rubber straps are also a natural choice for dive watches since they handle water, sweat, and daily wear with ease.
In terms of dimensions, the watch measures about 11 mm thick, giving it a sturdy presence on the wrist while still staying within a wearable range for a 37 mm dive watch.
The Squale Sub-37 Legend is priced at $1,750, and it’s available to purchase now directly from Squale. For anyone searching for a compact Swiss automatic dive watch with 300m water resistance, a clean dial without date complications, and vintage-toned lume, this release is positioned as a compelling new option in the brand’s lineup.
