Crafted from Damascus Steel, the McQuaide Q1 is uniquely one-of-a-kind. No two cases share the same striking patterns.

Powered by a Swiss Sellita SW200-1 movement, pressure-tested to 100 ATM, and equipped with a helium escape valve, it delivers precision and reliability.

The McQuaide Q1 isn’t just a watch—it’s a statement of individuality.

Dial

Brass Guilloché with Date Window    

A masterpiece of intricate craftsmanship, the Guilloché technique involves engraving repetitive patterns on the dial surface, creating texture, depth, and a dance of reflections as the watch is tilted.     

Our sweeping second hand features a distinctive 'claw' shape and a bold red tip.

BGW9 white emission Super-LumiNova is applied to the hands and indices. An elegant white in daylight, in low light it delivers a crisp blue-green luminescence for unparalleled visibility.

The Date Window is at 3H.

Bezel

Unidirectional rotating Bezel with 120 clicks

The rotating bezel enables the monitoring of elapsed time when diving. The fact it can only rotate in one direction means the remaining time thus shown can only be decreased, for safety.

BGW9 white emission Super-LumiNova is applied to the bezel. An elegant white in daylight, in low light it delivers a crisp blue-green luminescence for unparalleled visibility.

Water Resistance

Certified to 100ATM (1000 metres)

Our 22mm strap is engineered for the modern adventurer. The upper layer is hard-wearing nylon, and the contrasting stitching adds detail and style.
