Aquastar Benthos Heritage II: A Dive Watch Icon Reimagined
Introduction
Aquastar has a rich history in the world of dive watches, and their latest release, the Aquastar Benthos Heritage II [https://aquastar.ch/shop/], is a tribute to a conceptual design from the late 1960s. This new limited-edition timepiece is a fusion of vintage aesthetics and modern technology, making it an exciting addition to the Benthos collection.
The Legacy of Aquastar Benthos The Original Benthos 500: A Game Changer
In 1970, Aquastar introduced the Benthos 500, the world's first commercially available dive watch with a 500m depth rating. It featured a unique underwater chronograph with a central-minutes counter, revolutionizing dive watch design.
The Revival of a Classic
Following the relaunch of Aquastar in 2020, the Benthos 500 was reimagined as the Benthos 500 Founder's Edition with a special movement developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. This was followed by the Aquastar Benthos Heritage I in 2023, a slimmer, three-hand version of the iconic model.
Introducing the Benthos Heritage II Inspired by a 1968 Concept
The Aquastar Benthos Heritage II is based on a conceptual drawing from 1968, maintaining the signature look of the Benthos 500 but in a more compact size.
