Aquastar Deepstar II - Steel Grey on stainless steel BOR bracelet
The Deepstar II Steel Grey on BOR bracelet pairs the steel-grey 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.

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