More interesting insight and predictions on the Blancpain x Swatch from ID Guy.

This interesting Squale popped up as a LE for Gnomon Watches. @imagwai you’re our Squale man, what’s your take?

I personally quite like it, it looks like the kind of interesting diver that Oris should be making

I think "interesting" is the nicest thing I can say about it to be honest. It's certainly different and has some unique features, but I'm not sure I like it I'm afraid. Firstly, I've always had a dislike for the date being on a subdial like that - reminds me of cheap fake Carreras trying to emulate a chrono dial by using the date. Quite like the dial texture. But it's not very legible for a dive watch, and it's not made up for that with the colour scheme! I hope this is at the cheaper end of the range?

P.S. This is the Squale limited edition I'd be going for right now if I had any more space in the watch box. 🥰

Those mock-ups are pretty darn cool.

Nicely done, but they’re not piquing my interest like those ID Guy renders.

Live pics from Hodinkee. I don't think these are high on my wishlist. A bit too toy looking.

Oh the vibe I get from it is more like the Formula 1 Alarm watches.

He doesn't understand why it has 91m/300ft of water resistance. He just lost credibility. 🤦
It's because the depth equals 50 Fathoms. :whipped:

Yes, automatic version, green strap, no vintage lume.

I hate rice bracelets.

I think they look like an old person's watch.

So I ordered it with the green strap (and added a black strap).

BIIIG want. Most live photos just don’t quite capture how cool this is.

Looks fantastic, @abrod520. Do you find the dial to have more of a fume effect, sunray effect, or a bit of both?
