Aquastar Deepstar II - Vintage Black
The Aquastar Deepstar II Vintage Black 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.

★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
It’s a fantastic diver with just the right proportions. It’s my go-to diver in the summer that wears nicely on a white perlon strap. I wish the bezel wasn’t polished and scratched as easily, but it just reminds me of how often I love wearing it.
★★★★★
This is the perfect all around watch. I wear it on formal and casual occasions and it is somehow the best of both worlds. It’s unique and always gets compliments from watch heads and people that know bugging about watches at all but just love the look of it. I’ve had it for over 3 years now and it just gets better and better. Can’t recommend it enough
★★★★★
I’ve been an early adopter of the Deepstar II and loving it so far. I like the compact proportions and rugged appearance. It is my go to, versatile diver all year round!
★★★★★
Great proportions and aesthetics. Quietly unique, very happy to have purchased when I did!
★★★★★
My Deepstar II is a true classic, under the radar, diver. It is not a watch for everyone, but for the people who look back in nostalgia to beginning of professional diving. It feels at home on the beach , in the water (20 atm.) and even in the office. The big eye is winking every time I strap the DSII on, and makes me smile.
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.
