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.
