The Aquastar Deepstar II Vintage Black is a contemporary evolution of one of the most celebrated dive chronographs in watchmaking history. Inspired by the original Deepstar introduced in 1962, this modern interpretation preserves the collection’s distinctive character while incorporating contemporary materials, refined proportions and modern Swiss engineering. Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both vintage aesthetics and professional-grade performance, the Deepstar II Vintage Black offers a compelling blend of heritage and innovation.

Crafted from stainless steel, the watch features a robust 39mm cushion-shaped case that remains faithful to the spirit of the original Deepstar while delivering excellent comfort on the wrist. The vintage black dial is enhanced by warm-toned Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers, creating an aged appearance that pays tribute to historic dive watches. The signature oversized decompression timing sub-dial remains a defining feature of the collection, reflecting Aquastar’s pioneering role in the development of specialised diving instruments.

Protecting the dial is a highly domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, ensuring exceptional clarity and durability. The unidirectional rotating bezel provides precise elapsed-time measurement, while the screw-down crown and robust case construction help deliver an impressive 200-metre water resistance rating, making the Deepstar II a capable companion for underwater adventures as well as everyday wear.

At the heart of the watch is the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret L100 automatic movement. Renowned for its reliability and modern performance, this calibre offers an impressive 68-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to continue running for nearly three days when not worn. The movement combines dependable accuracy with the durability expected from a modern sports watch.

This version is fitted with Aquastar’s stainless steel Beads of Rice (BOR) bracelet, a design that perfectly complements the vintage-inspired character of the watch. Featuring fitted end links and a comfortable, flexible construction, the bracelet enhances both wearability and period-correct styling while providing a refined appearance suitable for any occasion.

Combining historic significance, distinctive design and contemporary Swiss craftsmanship, the Aquastar Deepstar II Vintage Black on Stainless Steel BOR Bracelet is a worthy successor to one of diving’s most iconic chronographs. Whether appreciated for its unique heritage, technical capability or timeless aesthetic, it stands as a modern tribute to a true legend of underwater timekeeping.
