Aquastar Deepstar II - Steel Grey
The Aquastar Deepstar II Steel Grey is a Swiss automatic chronograph with the brand’s no-decompression bezel, 200 m water resistance, sapphire crystal and Sellita SW290 movement.
The Aquastar Deepstar II is the evolution of the original Deepstar from 1963, relying on the same patent of the original piece that enables calculating multiple dive and decompression times while housing a non-chronograph, easy to use 3 hand mechanism, and moderately sized 37mmX46mm for great comfort of wear. Being a result of recreation of one of the most influential dive watches of the 60s, the unique and uncluttered mono sub dial, and the patented multiple dive decompression bezel table make the Deepstar an unmatched diver-oriented tool with an instantly recognizable design.

DEEPSTAR II, UNMISTAKABLY AN AQUASTAR
Where Original Design Meets Modern Mastery
AQUASTAR DEEPSTAR II
The Second Gen Deepstar operates using the same bezel patent for multiple dives
Defining the Diver’s Watch Legacy
Like its predecessor from 2020, the new Deepstar II reflects a fully modern vision of the Aquastar brand, and its enigmatic, innovative founder who shaped a pivotal moment in mechanical watch history. This moment in timekeeping history represented a conscious shift from wrist watches as time-telling devices, to purpose-built tools designed for very specific fields, like diving and exploration. Aquastar didn’t invent the dive watch, but the brand crystallized its purpose in a singular vision, influencing an entire industry with category-defining innovations.

★★★★★
It's hard to imagine a better watch for my very active lifestyle. I am a rower, on the water 5-6 days per week, and in the gym when weather precludes rowing. Also, my Deepstar II gets noticed, so much so that 2 friends have or plan to order one. Finally, the time keeping is excellent, watch gains a few seconds per week. Thank you Aquastar for offering such an excellent timepiece.
★★★★☆
My Deepstar2 has become my daily beater, knocking out a few other (and pricier!) alternatives in the drawer. The versatility is what does it: the size fits nicely under the shirt in the office while it also enjoys some 'wear' be it golf, swimming or whatever the day throws your way. Doesn't hurt that it looks stunning, too. Happy customer.
★★★★★
Love my grey watch - the dial and strap combo is stunning! Makes me smile every time I look at it. It has a bit of patina/scratches by now, but that's the price you pay for a watch you wear every day for years. Would buy again!
★★★★☆
The color of the grey - dial is absolutely awesome. Unfortunately, the watch is 1 to 2 millimeters too small for my taste, so I wear it less often. But it also wears very well as a dress watch and also looks very good equipped with a leather strap in dark brown, gray or black.
★★★★★
I love my deep star 2 ! I get compliments even while standing next to young man in a high-end ad who was finally getting his first Rolex,a explorer 1 36. He was so impressed he said he was going to buy one very soon! Of course the watches are of the same size,almost.We both have a wrist under 7 inches and that was part of my wanting this watch,that and the high quality build.Great finishing along with great customer service.I had a small glitch in time setting,they had me send it in and a couple months later it was back and keeping time to within a second a day.That was a nice bonus!
★★★★★
The Deepstar II is a fantastic watch and has reinvented the series of Aquastar with the perfect size for a vintage inspired diver watch. I have the grey dial version and this color plays with all different light conditions so nicely and the watch is a total strap monster! For this price it’s rather difficult finding an alternative with similar specs. One of the highlights is the caseback with the typical Aquastar engraving and opening mechanism and the overall build quality. A anti-reflective glass would be the cherry on top as an option.
★★★★★
This is a gorgeous watch that receives compliments. It is on the smaller side, however, it is beautifully finished and keeps time well. I love the small second display and the polished finishing of the steel.
★★★★★
In love with this watch. It's everything I expect from this kind of watches.
★★★★★
It's the watch I reach for more than any other. The design is really unique and I absolutely love the look. Great size for men and women alike.
★★★★★
Great tool watch, good looking and professional. Very proud of it.
★★★★★
My Aquastar Deepstar II it’s Fantastic, Good looking and a really an excellent tool watch. Very satisfied about that
★★★★★
My Aquastar is a great tool watch! Very comfortable, good looking and useful
★★★★★
The Aquastar Deepstar II is a perfect individual watch, special, but not too noticeable. It has a great weight, high quality, but the size makes it smart for different kinds of clothing and wearable für people with narrow wrists. The NATO wrap interlines this smart, relaxed demeanor, but must be folded if the wrists are really narrow.
Questions
Before you order.
What is the Deepstar II?
The Deepstar II is described as 'the Deepstar that could have been back in 1967', an imagined successor to the original that strips out the chronograph complication while retaining the iconic Deepstar case shape, the patented decompression bezel, and the signature mono sub-dial. It is a 3-hand dive watch at 37mm, making it one of the most wearable watches in the lineup.
How does the sub-dial work without a chronograph?
In the Deepstar II, the distinctive cyclops-style mono sub-dial at 9:00 now houses the running seconds indicator rather than a chronograph counter. This preserves the immediately recognizable Deepstar visual identity while simplifying the mechanics to a reliable 3-hand automatic movement.
What color variants are available for the Deepstar II?
The Deepstar II is available in Blue Ray, Steel Grey, Vintage Black, a limited Silverstar edition (silver sunburst dial), a limited Greenwich edition (green sunburst dial), and a limited Polarstar edition (white sunburst dial). The non-BOR versions are on Seatbelt NATO or Tropic straps, and BOR bracelet variants are also offered.
What is the Deepstar II Polarstar?
The Polarstar is a limited-edition variant of the Deepstar II featuring a striking white sunburst dial, combined with the standard Deepstar asymmetric case design. It maintains the time-only 3-hand format with the running seconds at 9:00.
Is every Deepstar II individually numbered?
Yes. Each Deepstar II is numbered and engraved on the case back.
How often does the Deepstar II need servicing, and what does it cost?
A full service every 5 to 10 years is plenty, depending on how often you wear and dive it. There is no annual service requirement. It runs a Swiss automatic movement built for reliability and easy long-term maintenance. For a current service quote, reach us through the Aquastar service page.
How water resistant is the Deepstar II?
It is rated to 200 metres (20 ATM) with a screw-down crown, so it is a genuine dive watch, not a desk diver. Ample for recreational scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming and everyday wear.
How does the bezel work, and can I use it underwater with gloves?
It carries Aquastar's no-decompression bezel, the first and only dive bezel that lets you plan and track repetitive no-decompression dives directly from the wrist, not just a single descent. It turns firmly and grips cleanly even with thick neoprene diving gloves, in or out of the water.
Is the Deepstar II comfortable on a smaller wrist?
Very. At 37mm it is one of the most wearable watches in the Aquastar lineup, sitting neatly on slimmer wrists while keeping its vintage dive-watch character. A genuinely versatile, unisex size.
