Aquastar Deepstar II - Blue Ray on stainless steel BOR bracelet
The Deepstar II Blue Ray on BOR bracelet pairs the blue-ray dial with the original Aquastar stainless steel BOR bracelet. Swiss automatic chronograph, 200 m water resistance.
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.
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 Swiss-made automatic movement.

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.

★★★★★
This is my go to travel watch. Looks good, takes a beating and is at home in the water. Love this thing, and happy I pulled the trigger when it was released.
★★★★★
A love from the first sight. Not a must expensive watch in my collection, but a watch that I enjoy wearing everywhere. Mix of vintage and modern. My only wish is micro adjustable bracelet.
★★★★★
I have now owned my Aquastar for 2+ years now and it has earned a regular spot in my watch rotation alongside heavy weights such as my Rolex Submariner, JLC Reverso, IWC pilot & Bulvgari Octo Finisemo. Loving the blue dial and the refined look of the dive watch. Beads of rice bracelet is so comfortable as well.
★★★★★
I’ve had my Aquastar for quite a while now, and it accompanies me almost every day, along with my Submariner. The Aquastar is every bit as good as the Submariner when it comes to water resistance and a sporty look. It’s a real eye-catcher with its blue sunburst finish and has already earned me quite a few compliments. I love this watch and wouldn’t want to be without it.
★★★★★
I’ve now owned my Aquastar DSII several years and can report it’s been a great experience! This started with the preorder process which was seamless and with good communication from the Team. Moreover tho, the retro vibes and build quality of this watch are what have continued to make it a mainstay in my rotation. Honestly, not sure how they can provide such quality for the money. Thank you Aquastar!
★★★★★
I really like the retro vibe of the watch, especially the small sub-dial. The beads of rice bracelet catches a lot of light and when I pair it with the watch it tends to get more compliments than with the tropic strap. I would prefer a non-steel bezel in the future to break from all the stainless steel in its construct but the bezel still suits it well. I was concerned that the 37mm would be too small but I found that to not be the case and since buying, I tend to gravitate to watches with similar case size.
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.
