A Shared Passionfor an Exceptional Partnership
Vincenzo’s recent training session in Egypt has been the testing grounds for the new Squale Master
In the crystal-clear waters of Sharm El Sheikh, Vincenzo Ferri trains with the new Squale Master models. Captured in their natural habitat, these timepieces shine beneath the surface.

Milestone Moments with Squale
One Breath Down
When the Squale experience goes below the surface
In September 2025, during the Geneva Watch Days charity auction hosted by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, Squale donated Lot 16: "Dive, Breathe and Discover Sorrento with Vincenzo Ferri."
The auction raised a total of CHF 185,900 in support of the Pierre Amstutz Fund, providing scholarships for watchmaking
THE GUIDE Vincenzo Ferri
Italian freediving record holder, certified coach and Squale brand ambassador. Vincenzo has spent decades perfecting the discipline of freediving — not as an extreme sport, but as a practice of presence, calm and deep connection with the sea.
His approach as a coach:
— Technique before depth, always
— Mental preparation as the foundation
— Stillness as the goal, not speed or depth
— The sea gives more to those who take less
THE EXPERIENCE A first approach to freediving
The experience guided by Vincenzo isn't a technical course: it's a journey in four moments, designed for those who want to discover freediving calmly and safely.
Breathing and relaxation
Learning to breathe slowly, release tension and enter a state of stillness before descending.
Body awareness and equalisation
Listening to the body, managing pressure and equalising naturally.
The first descent
Going below the surface for the first time, accompanied step by step.
The mental shift
Discovering that freediving isn't about challenging the sea, but letting yourself be welcomed by it.
The Squale 1521 Ocean Rubber was on Charles's wrist throughout the entire experience. Not as a prop — but as a tool. Present, worn, immersed. Exactly as it was designed to be.
