Elige opciones
The Aquastar Benthos Professional is a faithful modern recreation of one of the most innovative dive watches ever produced. Inspired by the groundbreaking Benthos 500 introduced in 1970, this contemporary interpretation preserves the distinctive character and professional functionality that made the original a favourite among commercial and military divers. Combining vintage-inspired design with modern materials and Swiss engineering, the Benthos Professional delivers exceptional underwater performance while honouring Aquastar’s rich heritage of purpose-built diving instruments.
Crafted from premium stainless steel, the watch features the unmistakable asymmetrical Benthos case design, offering both a distinctive appearance and practical functionality. The robust construction is engineered for serious underwater use, with a screw-down crown and professional-grade water resistance ensuring dependable performance in demanding environments. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, enhancing durability and legibility whether above or below the surface.
The dial remains true to the original Benthos concept, prioritising instant readability in challenging conditions. Large luminous hands and hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova to provide excellent visibility in low-light environments, while the signature oversized central minute hand allows divers to monitor elapsed dive time at a glance. Surrounding the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel designed for precise timing and maximum operational security during dives.
Powering the Benthos Professional is the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. Renowned for its reliability and modern performance, this calibre offers an impressive 68-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to continue running for nearly three days when not worn. The movement combines robust construction with dependable accuracy, making it ideally suited to a professional dive watch.
This version is paired with a genuine ISOfrane® rubber strap, widely regarded as one of the finest dive watch straps available. Originally developed for professional diving applications, the ISOfrane® strap is celebrated for its exceptional comfort, flexibility and durability. Its lightweight construction and resistance to harsh marine environments make it the perfect companion for a watch designed to excel beneath the waves.
Blending historic design, professional-grade specifications and modern Swiss craftsmanship, the Aquastar Benthos Professional stands as a worthy successor to one of diving’s most iconic tool watches. Whether worn as a capable underwater instrument or as a tribute to a legendary chapter in dive watch history, it offers a compelling combination of heritage, performance and everyday versatility.
