Description
This model numbered and engraved on the case back..
Housed in an eminently wearable 37mm stainless steel case, the new Deepstar II retains the function-first ethos and proportions of the pioneering Deepstar Chronograph from 1962, as well as two of Aquastar’s key identifiers: the rotating timing bezel bearing the brand’s own “no decompression” table used to time repeated dives (the first and only of its kind). It also features the emblematic “cyclops” style mono-compax counter originally devised by Aquastar founder and innovator Frederic Robert. Unique to the Deepstar II, this detail now houses the running seconds register at 9:00. Like the Deepstar Chronograph, the Deepstar II bears 200 meters of water resistance, and is powered by a Top-grade Selitta SW-290-1 Swiss-made automatic movement.

The watch is proportioned extremely well and gives off a vintage feeling without having to deal with the disadvantages of caring for a vintage watch. I appreciate that the non chrono version still has the subdial and reproduces the “eye” of Cousteau’s watch. The grey sunray dial is also fantastic. It wears very well on the strap but can be dressed up on the BOR which is also a nice touch.

Very nice watch with a lot of “Vintage Vibes”. Also because the watch has a smaller diameter. The movement runs smoothly and accurately. The only criticism is that the clasp on the steel bracelet is a bit stiff.

Beautiful timepiece with vintage flare. Solid movement and an overall well-priced and beautifully presented package. Aquastar hit it outta the park! Thank you!

A three hand version of the iconic Aquastar chronograph. The dial and bezel layout is really original and doesn’t really resemble any other watch brand. All in all a truly beautiful and well executed watch! It wears very well on the BOR-bracelet. The movement in mine is extremely accurate – down to a second / week. I’m aware that these thing can depend a lot on wearing patterns, but never the less it’s a nice feeling when it happens.

The Aquastar Deepstar II has a vintage aesthetic. I like the sub seconds vintage design and the size for my 7” wrist. The watch build quality has been excellent.

Un reloj fantástico para los fans de los relojes de buceo clásicos…captura esa caja de 37mm que tantas marcas utilizaron en los 60s y 70s y que tan unida está a ese nacimiento del buceo recreativo, pero con un calibre y unos acabados actuales, destilando calidad. La primera vista rememora el aspecto ciclope del cronógrafo Deepstar vintage, luego ya nos apercibimos que se trata de un “solo hora” preciso y bien construido, que pese a no tener un tamaño exagerado, acapara miradas y comentarios.

It’s a lovely vintage style watch that looks more dressy than tooly, especially on the BOR bracelet.
The accuracy is fine and customer support was good when I needed to reach them.
The only drawback is dial legibility, especially in strong sunlight
For me it’s a keeper!
