Aquastar timepieces are the watches of choice for diving and sailing
enthusiasts. An independent watch company made up of diving enthusiasts first
created the nautical sports watches in 1962 in Geneva. Aquastar originally
specialized in diving watches, as well as other equipment for diving such as
compasses, temperature and pressure gauges. The first Aquastar diving watch,
called
BENTHOS 500
introduced a new technology of round ‘o’ rings. This was new in the diving
arena, as the previous method of flat ‘o’ rings didn’t resist the entry of water
at any significant depth. The new Aquastar technology allowed for water
resistance up to 500 meters.

The company has three
watch patents, one of them received in 1964 allows for the counting of a
restricted number of minutes. Sailing experts have embraced this because it
enables them to countdown exactly the five or ten minutes prior to the start and
end of the race. TAG Heuer collaborated with Aquastar on some of the first
Regatta watches. Some of these watches are co-branded with Heuer and Aquastar
and are very valuable collectors items. Aquastar watches have consistently met
the needs of match racing enthusiasts and the company continues to develop new
leading edge nautical timepieces.
