Aquastar Benthos Professional with vintage dive gauges

Collection · 1970

Aquastar Benthos.

The first dive watch rated to 500 meters without a monobloc case. The U.S. Navy diving manual added it the year it shipped.

The Benthos story

Approved in the U.S. Navy diving manual ,
throughout the 1970s.

The 1970 Benthos 500 used a screwed case back with a new gasket pattern that meant it could go to 500 meters and still be serviced. Every modern Benthos, the Heritage II, the H1, the Professional, the 500 II, uses the same case architecture. The crown sits at 2 o’clock. The bezel marks elapsed time in 120 clicks. The dial is semi-gloss black with X1 SuperLumiNova.
