True to the high standards of Squale underwater history, the Matic case exhibits remarkable structural integrity. Machined from 316L stainless steel, the 44mm case features clean satin brushing alongside mirror polished facets. Measuring 51mm from lug to lug with a 16mm profile, the watch wears remarkably well thanks to downward sloping lugs that conform naturally to the wrist. The recessed crown at the 4 o'clock position remains shielded from direct impacts, ensuring unrestricted hand movement. Behind the solid screw down caseback lies a true deep sea capability rated to 600 meters, while a unidirectional steel bezel with a luminous SuperLuminova triangle marker at 12 o'clock guarantees precise dive time tracking.

Topping the Matic is a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, offering a crystal-clear view of the dial from every angle. Its light blue sunray finish shimmers softly, evoking the calm yet ever-changing hues of the ocean. The hour markers have been thoughtfully updated for sharper legibility, while subtle orange accents outlining the minute hand add a sporty, dynamic touch. Super-LumiNova is generously applied to the hands and indices for exceptional readability in any light, complemented by a date window at 3 o'clock for practical everyday use. Completing the dial's modern evolution is the Matic logo, a mark of Squale's unwavering dedication to precision, functionality, and timeless design.

At the heart of the Matic beats the Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré Grade automatic movement, a workhorse renowned for its reliability and precision. Equipped with 26 jewels and running at a frequency of 28,800 bph (4Hz), it delivers smooth, consistent timekeeping, while its 38-hour power reserve ensures the watch remains ready for any adventure. This robust movement perfectly complements the Matic's professional dive credentials, combining mechanical excellence with everyday practicality.

A complete upgrade to the collection, the Matic now comes paired with a brand new 22mm stainless steel bracelet that flows perfectly from the case architecture. Balancing classic tool watch presence with a touch of dressy sophistication, the bracelet features subtle polished surfaces that catch the light just right. The entire layout wraps up with a solid signed clasp, adding an authentic touch of branding alongside a secure, high quality feel on the wrist.
