Aquastar Dives into History with the New Benthos Heritage II
Aquastar, the traditional Swiss dive watch manufacturer, proudly presents its latest Benthos masterpiece—the Benthos Heritage II. This exquisite timepiece, the third member of the iconic Benthos family in the company’s modern era, is poised to capture the hearts of dive watch enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
Inspired by the legendary Aquastar Benthos from 1970, the Benthos Heritage II is not merely a re-edition but a visionary interpretation of how the original creators might have evolved this horological icon. Drawing from recently discovered sketches in the Aquastar archives, this new model seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern dimensions.
“The Benthos Heritage II represents a perfect fusion of the rich heritage of the Benthos and contemporary proportions of 40 mm and 11.9 mm height,” . “It’s a testament to our commitment to carry the torch of our founders into a bright future for Aquastar.”
At the heart of the Benthos Heritage II lies a series of core characteristics that were requested by our community over the past 5 years. “We listened carefully to the feedback and requests of our supportive community on our official forum and on social media and incorporated these features into the new Benthos Heritage II”.
• BENTHOS Iconic Design: Echoing the archival sketches, the watch boasts two signature crowns positioned at 2 and 4 o’clock, offering both functionality and distinctive aesthetics.
• Modern Proportions: With a 40mm case diameter and a slim 11.9mm profile, the Benthos Heritage II caters to modern tastes while ensuring comfort on any wrist.
• Premium Materials: Crafted from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel, this timepiece is built to withstand the rigors of deep-sea exploration, crowned with a ceramic bezel with applied luminous markers.
• Helium Escape Valve: A manual helium escape valve at 4 o’clock enhances the watch’s professional diving capabilities.
• Swiss-Made Excellence: Powered by the Elabore-grade Selitta SW200-1 Swiss-made caliber, the Benthos Heritage II promises unparalleled value.
The Benthos Heritage II is more than just a timekeeping instrument; it is a piece of diving history reimagined for the modern era. Its design evokes the thrill of underwater exploration, with every detail meticulously crafted to honor the legacy of its predecessor while pushing the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking.
Dive watch aficionados and collectors have the opportunity to secure their own piece of horological history.

Aquastar unveils its most prestigious dive watch to date, built around a newly developed center-mounted 60-minute chronograph calibre exclusive to Aquastar
For over fifty years, the Aquastar Benthos chronograph has remained the paragon of capability and dive watch collectability — a rarity in watchmaking both for its unique design and functionality, and its actual rarity, as surviving examples remain scarce and highly collectable. However, since the brand’s triumphant re-launch in 2020, the modern Aquastar catalog has been without this revered, and sought-after vintage icon, but it’s not without good reason: there have been no modern center-mounted chronograph movements commercially available for watchmakers to utilize. So in collaboration with La Joux-Perret, Aquastar rebuilt this key functionality exclusively for its debut in the Benthos 500 Founder’s Edition.
