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 40mm and 11.9mm height,” said Rick Marei of Aquastar. “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”, said Rick Marei, CEO of Aquastar
