AQUASTAR showers its 2023 MODEL 60 in radiant sun-burst green!  This verdant visage known as Aquastar’s GREENWICH dial, gives this their most diminutive diver, measuring just 37mm in diameter a dazzling new personality fit for any occasion. Paying homage to the brand’s inaugural diver of 1957 the new Model 60 Greenwich changes up its otherwise sober aesthetic with a blast of giddy green that can be amped with either a matching green TROPIC or NATO strap. Likewise this new GREENWICH dial variant is also able to benefit from a full stainless-steel BOR (beads of rice) bracelet for an even ..read more

Here’s a good old-fashioned mom and pop business from the UK, one that aims to offer vintage inspired diver’s watches that are based on lost and forgotten horological gems from the golden days of watchmaking.  With the solemn promise of offering true exclusivity by producing small series that are limited to just 250 pieces per run and with only 50 of each dial color made, ever. But watches with real modern-day, diving chops such as ceramic bezel inlays and precision-made movements such as those from Seiko, Japan. They don’t believe in crowd-funding or pre-orders.

AQUASTAR Benthos HERITAGE ONE [the living embodiment of a legend]
OceanicTime

4M ago
A lauded legend resurfaces from the annals of history and into the collective (collectors) consciousness of modern day horophiles.  Arguably the first ever diver’s wristwatch was Longines’ Hydrographic Survey watch, born in the early 1940s and preceding anything from Blancpain or Rolex by more than a decade. In the eight long decades that’ve passed since British Royal Naval saboteurs (equipped with the aforementioned Longines) wrought havoc on the Italian Navy, diver's watches have evolved giving rise to countless innovations. Greats have come and gone, icons like the Submariner have wi ..read more

Frozen in a grotesque mimicry of their former selves, shuffling eerily, eyes devoid of life, face bereft of even the faintest flicker of humanity, these seemingly apathetic abominations can't do much of anything.  But the second a horde of ravenous zombies senses your presence, they explode with a primal rage as they relentlessly chase and hunt you down until they eventually catch up with you and chew your frightened face off. But … "zombies can't swim", so let them remain on dry land while we venture into the water for a deep dive with the forthcoming FROG300 pro diver collection from O ..read more

DELMA BLUE SHARK IV [venture into the abyss]

Venture into the abyssal zone with DELMA's new deep diver, the 5000m water- resistant BLUE SHARK IV. A high degree of water-resistance is something that you should except from any tool diver worth its salt. However when that watch's depth rating exceeds industry norms required for a typical diver's watch by a factor of ten or more. It might raise a contentious eyebrow or two but it always raises the same question, what's the point?  And I would say, ask not why but why not. Because few features so perfectly exemplify the engineering required of a diver's watch than does its water-resist ..read more
