Aquastar AirStar

Maritime pioneers, global navies, and intrepid explorers like Jacques Mayol and Philippe Cousteau have long relied upon the Aquastar spirit of timekeeping innovation and utility, which began in 1962. These traditions persist today with the relaunch of the Swiss maker’s famous Airstar Chronograph.

“Among many of the innovations pioneered by Aquastar founder Frederic Robert, the Airstar
Chronograph from 1964 was a departure from the traditional tool dive watch” says Rick Marei, Aquastar’s modern helmsman. “The Airstar features a depth rating of 200 meters, a screw down crown and many attributes essential for serious water resistance, yet combined with aviation grade capabilities”.

60th anniversary airstar

While the 316L stainless steel case of the new Airstar retains the signature Skin diver case shape of the original from 1964. The new Airstar is built around the traditional Swiss Chronograph calibre from Valjoux, the 7753, this calibre offers outstanding reliability and great after-market serviceability.

Crafted with Legacy, Engineered for Today.

TaChymeter scale and 20ATM water resistance

“With every Aquastar release, we try to look at the product cycles introduced by the brand’s original founder, Frederic Robert, and look ahead to what he might still be producing, had the brand never been paused during the quartz crisis,” says Marei. “We are proud to be both historians and custodians of this rich brand, using the new AIRSTAR to pay tribute to Aquastar’s influence and innovations in the Swiss Watch world.
