The short curved-down lugs means that the watch sits nicely on all wrist sizes. The crown system has also been improved from the previous generation with deeper grooves on the crown for a better grip and also a more substantial screw threads for a more positive screwdown action.

The bezel has deep grooves machined into it for a good grip. It rotates smoothly into 120 positions in a counter-clockwise direction. Further refinement on it’s case, mixture of satin brush on the top surfaces and polishing on the sides, can be seen throughout the watch including the bracelet.

The highlight of Squale 20 ATMOS Militaire Ceramic is probably the iconic dial design with the “old-radium” looking luminous for that nostalgic feel. The matte black dial with sword handset is where the charm of this watch is. The 20 ATMOS 1545 comes with a domed sapphire crystal. The sapphire crystal is also coated with anti-reflective on the inside for better clarity. The Squale 20 ATMOS comes with a metal bracelet with solid end-links and screw-in links. It also has a diver extension for those who wants to bring it for some adventure.

The Squale 20 ATMOS Militaire Ceramic is a quality watch that is very well put together at a great pricing. It probably rivals watches that cost a few times its asking price. This competitive pricing is only possible due to the fact that the 20 ATMOS is a Gnomon Exclusive and priced for direct selling. The mixture of satin and polished parts with ceramic bezel gives the watch a sense of quality. The 20 ATMOS Militaire is a great addition to any dive watch collection or for the first time collector. If you are in the market for a great watch that doesn’t break the bank, this is probably it.
