Description
This new iteration combines the visceral engagement of hand-winding with the sophisticated precision of a column wheel mechanism, offering collectors and enthusiasts a more intimate connection with their timepiece. The manual wind architecture allows for a slimmer case profile while maintaining the iconic mono-compax layout and patented decompression bezel that made the Deepstar a life-saving tool for professional divers.
The Deepstar III is not simply a nostalgic recreation—it’s a thoughtful evolution that bridges six decades of dive watch innovation, offering modern reliability and refinement while recapturing the mechanical soul that defined Aquastar’s golden era.

My Greenwich has been one of my most worn watches. Super legible, and the fact I can time 2 items at the same time with bezel and Chronograph is awesome.
I’ve had a lot of comments as the dial really pops on a sunny day!
Would recommend

Excellent and faithful recreation of the original first diving computer tool watch worn by Jacques Cousteau and his crew aboard the Calypso. Wears well on the wrist as a piece of living history with the Swiss made chronograph movement including “keep alive” indicator, letting you know the watch is running. I even won a costume contest with this watch.

Aquastar Deepstar is an historic and marvelous Watch, The first Diver Chrono…. Una maravilla de pieza histórica. My Aquastar is the 2020 grey, received on 2021, years waiting the relaunch of this grial watch for me, great, unique. Thanks

I bought the first Deepstar when it was re-introduced a number of years ago. It is really a fun watch and every time I have it on it gets a lot of attention. This one will stay in my permanent collection for sure.

It was a no brainer decision as soon as the launch was made in 2020. Till date, it remains one of my favorite watches in my collection. Aquastar did an exceptional job recreating the spirit and proportions of the original Deepstar while delivering modern presence and build quality.
I love its character. It has a good wrist presence without feeling oversized, and the design is packed with vintage charm and purpose. The dial, bezel, and overall execution capture the essence of a true adventure dive watch.
So happy to own this watch !

Excellent watch and historically significant model. I love the size, vintage look and feel of the watch. It has held up very well over several years of regular wear. I have scuba dived with it at recreational depths with no issues. Highly recommend this model!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Aquastar Deepstar 2020 Steel Grey. The striking steel grey dial and unique vintage styling really stand out, making it a true highlight of my watch collection. The build quality and craftsmanship are absolutely superb, and the entire experience with the Aquastar team has been excellent.

Purchased my Deepstar II in the initial launch and couldn’t be happier. The size is perfect and wears very substantially for a 37mm, the beads of rice bracelet is high quality, and the deep gray sunburst dial is incredible. The bonus – the script font is distinctive and pure class!

Great piece (manual wind) love the way it runs and how it works.

My Aquastar is a star in my watch collection. I always wear it with great pride of ownership and would never sell it. A beautiful watch with a fantastic movement and a wonderful history—something for the connoisseur.

Fine Aquastar watch. Very nice. Like the original. Perhaps a little bit too big for me. But thanks. The second generation would be better for me.
