The Aquastar Airstar Chronograph is a modern revival of one of the rarest and most distinctive models in the brand’s history. Originally introduced in 1964, the Airstar represented a departure from Aquastar’s traditional diving instruments, combining aviation-inspired functionality with the robust construction and water resistance that had become synonymous with the brand. This contemporary re-edition faithfully captures the spirit of the original while incorporating modern materials, enhanced durability and reliable Swiss chronograph engineering. Produced as a Limited Edition of just 300 pieces, the Airstar is a highly collectible tribute to a rarely seen classic.
Crafted from black DLC-coated 316L stainless steel, the watch features a compact 39mm case with a 49mm lug-to-lug measurement, delivering excellent wrist presence while remaining remarkably wearable. The case is paired with a highly domed sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective coating, preserving the vintage aesthetic while ensuring exceptional clarity and durability. A unidirectional 60-minute bezel and screw-down crown further reinforce the watch’s sporting credentials and contribute to its impressive 200-metre water resistance rating.
The semi-gloss black dial is designed for outstanding legibility, featuring contrasting white markings and high-density ecru Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers. The clean two-register chronograph layout offers a balanced and highly functional display, while the tachymeter scale pays homage to the original Airstar’s aviation-inspired design. Vintage-style syringe hands and the historic Airstar signature complete the watch’s distinctive appearance, creating a compelling blend of heritage and modernity.
Powering the watch is the Swiss-made Valjoux 7753 automatic chronograph movement. Renowned for its reliability and serviceability, this proven calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. Featuring chronograph timing, running seconds and manual winding capability, it provides the precision and robustness expected from a professional-grade sports chronograph.
Completing the watch is a genuine black Tropic® rubber strap, a fitting choice for a timepiece inspired by the golden era of adventure watches. Comfortable, lightweight and highly durable, the Tropic® strap enhances the Airstar’s vintage character while providing exceptional practicality for everyday wear. An additional black seatbelt-style nylon strap is also included, offering added versatility straight out of the box.
Combining aviation-inspired chronograph functionality, professional-grade water resistance and distinctive vintage styling, the Aquastar Airstar Chronograph stands as a unique chapter in Aquastar’s heritage. With its limited production, robust Swiss movement and faithful recreation of a rare historical model, it offers collectors and enthusiasts a compelling alternative to conventional sports chronographs.
