The Aquastar Benthos Heritage II Bracelet Edition is a modern revival of one of the most distinctive dive watches ever produced, combining the unmistakable character of the original 1970 Benthos 500 with contemporary Swiss craftsmanship and professional-grade performance. Inspired by Aquastar’s historic deep-diving instrument, the Benthos Heritage II preserves the collection’s bold tool-watch identity while introducing refined modern specifications and enhanced wearability. Produced as a Limited Edition of just 500 pieces worldwide, it is a compelling choice for collectors and diving enthusiasts alike.
Crafted from premium 904L stainless steel, the case measures 40mm in diameter, 11.9mm thick and 44mm lug-to-lug, offering a compact yet purposeful profile on the wrist. The distinctive asymmetrical design features a screw-down crown at 2 o’clock and a manual helium release valve at 4 o’clock, reflecting the watch’s professional diving heritage. A flat sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while the screw-down caseback and robust construction ensure an impressive water resistance rating of 300 metres.
The semi-gloss black dial is designed for maximum legibility in demanding conditions. Large applied hour markers and broad hands are generously filled with Super-LumiNova, providing excellent visibility in low-light environments. Surrounding the dial is a unidirectional 120-click rotating bezel fitted with a black ceramic insert and luminous dive scale, allowing precise tracking of elapsed dive times. The clean no-date display further enhances the watch’s functional, instrument-like appearance.
At the heart of the Benthos Heritage II is the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and equipped with 26 jewels, this reliable calibre delivers approximately 38 hours of power reserve and is renowned for its durability, accuracy and ease of servicing. Its proven performance makes it perfectly suited to a watch built for adventure and exploration.
This edition is paired with a stainless steel bracelet that complements the robust construction of the case while enhancing everyday versatility. Designed for both comfort and durability, the bracelet reinforces the Benthos Heritage II’s professional character while providing a refined appearance suitable for daily wear. The combination of the bracelet, premium materials and limited production elevates the watch’s appeal among collectors seeking a modern interpretation of a legendary dive watch.
Blending historic design cues, modern engineering and true underwater capability, the Aquastar Benthos Heritage II Bracelet Edition stands as a worthy successor to one of the most iconic diving instruments of the twentieth century. With its limited-edition status, professional specifications and distinctive heritage-inspired design, it offers a unique connection to Aquastar’s pioneering legacy beneath the waves.
