In a brilliant homage to its rich heritage, Aquastar has recently released the Benthos Professional, a sophisticated, modernist reinterpretation of its most iconic dive watch, the Benthos 500. This new timepiece emphasizes the brand’s continued mission to refine its vintage-inspired designs for today’s connoisseur, masterfully blending an illustrious past with state-of-the-art horological execution.
A sleek profile sets the scene for horological mastery
The watch sets itself apart by way of a sleek, stealthy profile, achieved through a deep black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating over a robust 904L stainless steel case. This 42mm case has been intricately engineered to a svelte 13.9mm thickness, offering a commanding, yet elegant presence on the wrist that is versatile enough for a black-tie event or a deep-sea expedition. All this while guaranteeing a respectable water resistance up to 300 meters.
The Benthos Professional offers uncompromising legibility and a trusted Swiss movement
Beneath its anti-reflective sapphire crystal lies a dial constructed for absolute clarity in the abyssal dark. The unidirectional bezel is scratch resistant and fully indexed with X1 Super-LumiNova, ensuring a brilliant glow in low-light conditions. Powering this timepiece is the revered ETA 2824-2 élaboré grade automatic movement, a chronometer-certified caliber respected for its reliability and impressive accuracy. Beating at a smooth 4 Hz, this workhorse movement offers a 38-hour power reserve, granting the type of stellar precision that serious divers and watch enthusiasts demand..
A limited edition offering a compelling opportunity for discerning collectors
With the Benthos Professional, Aquastar has elevated through the combination several key components, including a slimmer, DLC-treated case, high-performance ceramic bezel, and premium Swiss movement results in a timepiece that is both a faithful tribute and a marvel of modern achievement. For the collector in search of a dive watch with historical resonance and contemporary elegance, this limited edition is not to be missed.
