Winter is on the way, so take a refreshing polar plunge into watchmaking with Deep Blue and their iconic Master 2000 Day Date Diver. This year, the brand is unveiling four new looks that are as refreshing as a plunge into icy waters. The two new white dial options provide satisfying bursts of snowman and polar bear white. The Polar Bear model, with its stark white dial and contrasting black accents, evokes its namesake with white fur black eyes and nose, a minimalist look that’s as elegant as it is rugged. The Snowman model, on the other hand, brings a playful touch to winter watchmaking. The bright orange hands add a pop of color against the white dial, reminiscent of a cheerful snowman with a carrot for a nose. If you prefer a more subdued look, the two new blue ombre dials evoke the frigid seas. The gradient effect creates mesmerizing depth, mirroring the darkest depths of the ocean. Whether you opt for the classic black hands or the bold orange accents, the blue ombre dials will take you into the cool blue yonder. The Deep Blue Master 2000 Day Date Diver has been a stalwart of the diving watch world for 16 long years. Its impressive 2000-meter water-resistance is a testament to its durability and reliability. Even in today's watchmaking landscape, such a depth rating is truly deep.

AQUASTAR Airstar Re-Edition [the stealth pilot]

Chocks away! After six long decades of grounding, Aquastar’s lesser-known aviator, the 1964 Airstar takes flight once again, sporting a stealthy new livery and modern-day avionics. While its sibling, the 1962 Deepstar diver’s watch, found favor with maritime pioneers, global navies, and intrepid explorers like Jacques Mayol and Philippe Cousteau, the Airstar was a chronograph born for the skies. While Aquastar has no known association with any notable pilots of its era, it was aviators like André Turcat, Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown and Chuck Yeager who would have surely appreciated a watch like the Airstar. Not only was it airworthy but God forbid you ditched into the sea, your Airstar would survive. Seaworthy and boasting the same waterproof ‘Skin Diver’ case as the Deepstar, and born from those innovations pioneered by Aquastar founder, Frederic Robert for diving. For 2024 Aquastar has revisited and reinvigorated this rare pilot's model with a hightech DLC coated 316L Stainless steel case, water-resistant to 200 meters, offering even more durability and a touch of elegance courtesy of its diamond-like carbon coating. “Like many of the innovations pioneered by Aquastar founder Frederic Robert, the Airstar chronograph from 1964, although a slight departure from the functional tool diver,” says Rick Marei, Aquastar’s modern helmsman. “It still had the depth rating and attributes of a true water-resistant dive watch, yet combined with aviation grade capabilities. The new Airstar is built around the industry workhorse calibre from Valjoux, the 7753, that offers outstanding durability and great after-market serviceability. The Aquastar Airstar Re-Edition will be produced in a limited run of just 300 pieces, and has a suggested retail price of $2,790 USD. However, it can be PRE-ORDERED during its launch period for the special price of $1,890 USD. The Airstar Re-Edition can be reserved, exclusively from www.aquastar.ch. Thoughts? Hot on heels of the Deepstar II Polarstar Edition, the Airstar provides the perfect opportunity for Aquastar and vintage-era dive watch fans to add a pilot to their stable. The addition of the DLC-coating and rock-solid movement makes this a compelling proposition for all.
