H2O Watch might just have created the perfect crossover model, a new diver’s watch for drivers. <br />
<br />

<br />
The dial of the new Kalmar 2 Racing gets the same iconic powder blue and orange stripes once seen on Le Mans legends such as the Porsche 917 or Ford GT40. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_vvzG9PsBcgb_1-Vb5E3xDTFYf7AyIzoExlHQ-DxWKnp3iDDs7_9_vPYJIsUGxI0HzTljA8bPyNXDtWrjWBdpl2CP-myHup3wtKEHDhX6iEr9OvGszQYv5d8__otaL9owG0OAY5CxovYG/s1600/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+03.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1500" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_vvzG9PsBcgb_1-Vb5E3xDTFYf7AyIzoExlHQ-DxWKnp3iDDs7_9_vPYJIsUGxI0HzTljA8bPyNXDtWrjWBdpl2CP-myHup3wtKEHDhX6iEr9OvGszQYv5d8__otaL9owG0OAY5CxovYG/s320/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+03.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
In addition to the racing livery, the blue and orange stripes are flanked by swirls of perlage reminiscent of that found on the aluminum dashboards of vintage racing cars such as the Bentley. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF2GJptyP9vVS5fAREPC6E1YUnPEjoVPstHF3qKeSUB_MPEEjczqiM0LECMAFm-riymA-Rm4rSZjN07R6nmRkGfPwRAjzZ0RgU94zS7iAT080rhujWvCznvXpLM_AlpF-RlOptaoZFSuFk/s1600/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+04.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1325" data-original-width="1375" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF2GJptyP9vVS5fAREPC6E1YUnPEjoVPstHF3qKeSUB_MPEEjczqiM0LECMAFm-riymA-Rm4rSZjN07R6nmRkGfPwRAjzZ0RgU94zS7iAT080rhujWvCznvXpLM_AlpF-RlOptaoZFSuFk/s320/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+04.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
One further racing feature is the color-matched blue and orange cross-stitching on the Kalmar 2 Racing’s custom handmade Italian calf leather band. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeiJkCI82KuLb5LZT3sO1GDqzoDs_d7eEzHUyagVmzh7SSKXf4M6mhCyse9VH8p0m3vUeQasQhjkaJpWp_71uFKzE03-nVs4IeTpDmlQvhCOGL-u87ZCcLez_wQEfIbDy7O8XfnDNltqb/s1600/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+05.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1325" data-original-width="1375" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeiJkCI82KuLb5LZT3sO1GDqzoDs_d7eEzHUyagVmzh7SSKXf4M6mhCyse9VH8p0m3vUeQasQhjkaJpWp_71uFKzE03-nVs4IeTpDmlQvhCOGL-u87ZCcLez_wQEfIbDy7O8XfnDNltqb/s320/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+05.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
If you aren’t proponent of leather, fear not as the Kalmar 2 Racing also comes with a set of racing-harness / seat-belt inspired NATO straps in matching race colors. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFoyX5E2hdziwlS9mT6E7eS7KT1YrEoMItHTLiaeyoQ3q5dzOv9BlOT1djexlZywijNNKpBZbKrgdw4oMMGhFxLGE5bO_fZsMw0SBZZkk7YdtRJ2R8AtNiuRhr8d5Vt3MQXrtGiuKONpH/s1600/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+06.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1325" data-original-width="1375" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuFoyX5E2hdziwlS9mT6E7eS7KT1YrEoMItHTLiaeyoQ3q5dzOv9BlOT1djexlZywijNNKpBZbKrgdw4oMMGhFxLGE5bO_fZsMw0SBZZkk7YdtRJ2R8AtNiuRhr8d5Vt3MQXrtGiuKONpH/s320/H2O+KALMAR+2+RACING+06.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Otherwise, it’s business as usual for this rather unusual 3000 meter-water-resistant automatic diver’s watch. All you need now is the car!<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay actually that’s not quite true (about the business as usual that is) because in addition to a dive-time bezel, a sterile bezel, H2O has a new Heart Rate Count bezel! <br />

Thoughts? Something quite unexpected from H2O Watch but then again, they are the master s of surprise. If this proves popular – what’s next for the Kalmar 2 Racing?<br />

My money’s on a black DLC variant inspired by the iconic John Player Special's black and gold livery – I’d eat that one right up!<br />

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.
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyT1JfjGO7J6JBAnNGHIKQlJQSEn_yvlBbL7OGoDb1OlMeuf-K0tbrQ_Vf9T-mQ_VEZl_j3HiD4Lvxva5NmJhSSfUMZZTbbnl-Mfbss5oUG5gnP1FCjk5lA5qJqrhPhYGjNBfvmXiYIxcgM9w0eKYRfNkftYY8YTp15YasZKUHp4cveZzPfMHJ9EwCqzc4/s2400/AQUASTAR%20Model%2060%20GREENWICH%2002.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyT1JfjGO7J6JBAnNGHIKQlJQSEn_yvlBbL7OGoDb1OlMeuf-K0tbrQ_Vf9T-mQ_VEZl_j3HiD4Lvxva5NmJhSSfUMZZTbbnl-Mfbss5oUG5gnP1FCjk5lA5qJqrhPhYGjNBfvmXiYIxcgM9w0eKYRfNkftYY8YTp15YasZKUHp4cveZzPfMHJ9EwCqzc4/s320/AQUASTAR%20Model%2060%20GREENWICH%2002.jpg" width="320"></a>
Likewise this new GREENWICH dial variant is also able to benefit from a full stainless-steel BOR (beads of rice) bracelet for an even more premium feel or indeed can be complemented by a small steel diver’s compass when on its NATO for full on adventure mode.

Adhering to more traditional design codes with its use of bold hour markers and lume-filled paddle hands, 60 minute rotating bezel, and centrally-mounted sweep seconds, the Model 60 is perhaps the brand’s most versatile form factors. </p><p>Not only this the 37mm Model 60 provides enthusiasts with one of the purist forms of vintage dive watch ownership outside of actually going true vintage. </p><p>And with its <a href="https://aquastar.ch/shop/" target="_blank">PRE-ORDER</a> price coming in under 1’000USD it’s a true gateway drug to Aquastar’s intoxicating diver lineup.

It tells me several things; to expect the unexpected, to buckle up for a potentially wild ride. Such as jumping out of a rescue helicopter into the raging sea or launching into space with NASA's Artemis-II on a trip to the moon.

And like a horde of zombies or a shower of frogs raining down from the sky it plans to take the dive watch world by storm.
Introducing the OCEANIX FROG300, the next generation of pro diver's watches, a disruptive new watch featuring lifesaving technological innovations such as its ID+SYS™.

After more than two years of intense research and development the FROG300 diver's watch with its breathtaking blend of watchmaking tradition and technological innovation is here. </p><p>Well almost. Pre-orders are open but you'll have to hang on just a while longer as manufacturing is still underway. But until then why not see what all the fuss is about.

OCEANIX, a new watch manufacturing company makes the bold claim that it is the first watch brand in the world to successfully merge traditional mechanical watchmaking with useful technology as illustrated by the FROG300, their debut diver's model. </p><p>The watch doesn't adhere to the traditional tried and tested or perhaps that should be "tired" (as in yawn-yawn) and tested conventions of the 300m diver’s watch segment with its titanium case.
</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-UoMbW9kbqeVCjm51SSuPkSsipHz3icEQ9ZYj4L35w3LcBWNFgpWwXoAbsJaPgb7kgEQQxbf7tGCJnWAebDMtdVItabI6jBmyUmbsi8jTH6tpti0WxUB2OSHpB4RCBQPelarjDLcmL8D92Hm56ZhEp1YtpqXZK-VGe1hOaXJeg7Tau-3t9C96frzdpdba/s2560/OX%20OCEANIX%20FROG300%2009.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-UoMbW9kbqeVCjm51SSuPkSsipHz3icEQ9ZYj4L35w3LcBWNFgpWwXoAbsJaPgb7kgEQQxbf7tGCJnWAebDMtdVItabI6jBmyUmbsi8jTH6tpti0WxUB2OSHpB4RCBQPelarjDLcmL8D92Hm56ZhEp1YtpqXZK-VGe1hOaXJeg7Tau-3t9C96frzdpdba/s320/OX%20OCEANIX%20FROG300%2009.jpg" width="320"></a><p>
In fact the opposite is true as it sets out to break preconceived notions of what a diver should or shouldn't be with its refreshingly bold aesthetic. </p><p>Furthermore the FROG300 has been designed to be a supremely durable wristwatch, with a highly robust case construction that makes use of high-tech materials such as titanium grade 4 as well as DLC surface treatment on some of its components. </p><p>Making it the sort of tough timepiece that has been built to withstand whatever life might throw its way, and as such a worthy proposition not only for frogmen or those involved in maritime pursuits but any form of adventure and exploration.
And one day it might actually save your life!

The FROG300 pro diver’s watch boasts 3 vital functions: Advanced Dive Time, GMT Time and ID+SYS™.
ID+SYS™ EMERGENCY DATA SYSTEM OX® FROG300 introduces the patented (pat. pending 06/23) and internationally registered ID+SYS™ system, allowing owners to have vital data (The ones they have chosen to enter, such as personal, contact, medical information on allergies, incompatibilities, or medical conditions, and medical insurance details…) on the ID+SYS™ Disk inside watch for use in emergency situations, providing an unparalleled layer of security in watchmaking and instrument watches.

Furthermore, the NFC technology used does not require a battery, Wi-Fi connection, or any coverage, and it remains active at all times. The ID+SYS™ will deliver relevant data of the accident victim to the rescue team, maritime rescue, or paramedics, helping to save the life of the FROG300 owner, if necessary. </p><p>ADVANCED 'DIVE TIME' CROWN Precision Underwater: Designed as an auxiliary tool, especially for demanding divers, the FROG300 features an advanced 'Dive Time' crown that allows precise unidirectional adjustment of 60 minutes even underwater (e.g., adjusting from dive time to decompression time), a distinctive and crucial feature for diving professionals. </p><p>Additionally, the crown self-locks, preventing accidental changes to the adjusted time on the unidirectional inner bezel with high legibility in both day and night.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION Manufactured from marine-grade titanium - grade 4 Sandblasted finished, the FROG300 Diver's combines strength, hardness, and lightweight properties to withstand the most extreme diving environments. </p><p>It features a double-curved sapphire crystal with blue anti-reflective AR coating on the inner surface. The standard straps are made of high-density FKM (fluoroelastomer).

ADVANCED CLASP The titanium clasp, also of a proprietary design, allows strap micro-adjustments for user customization as well as adjustment over wetsuits or technical gear. It includes a safety lock button. </p><p>ACCESSORIES AND COMPLEMENTS The FROG300 can be customized with the use of a solid titanium bracelet with colored inner links or with textile and nylon straps with Velcro® Cosmoband© closures, available when delivering the initial FROG300 units. </p><p>SUPERIOR COMFORT With its distinctive design and anthropometric focus, the watch features internal crowns that free the wrist, ensuring unrestricted movement and exceptional comfort throughout the day. </p><p>Despite its 45mm case diameter, the lug-to-lug distance is very short, making it adaptable to medium and large wrists alike. Furthermore, due to its eccentric case design, the case's mass along with the center of gravity is shifted inward, achieving an additional level of comfort.

ISO-CERTIFIED DEPTH The FROG300 diver raises the bar for water-resistance with its usable dive bezel function and a rating to 300 meters (1000 feet).
It complies with ISO 6425 standards, offering highly precise hourly and dive-time readings in both daytime and low visibility conditions, thanks to the use of Super-LumiNova, applied in strategic areas in two-tone colors to differentiate both readings. </p><p>(C5 Light Green for Time and GMT hand, hours markers too, BG W9 A Grade Blue for Dive Time, markers or Dive Time zone from 0 to 15’. And the exception in the GMT zone of Depth Rainbow model, that is in C5 Dark Red on hand and 24H marks).

A 300M RESISTANT FROG In the case of water-resistance, the FROG300 has a depth rating to 30 ATM, 300 meters and as previously mentioned, is equipped with a Helium Expulsion Valve integrated within the crown area, a feature that whether or not we agree is essential offers a further stylistic touch of utility. </p><p>In addition to these outstanding features, the FROG300 Diver's offers a unique ownership experience. Owners can reserve their watch during the pre-sale, which began in July 2023, and will be kept informed of the process continuously.

Thoughts? No stone left unturned, no box left un-ticked, no man left behind, all zombies left on the shore. OCEANIX has left absolutely nothing to chance.
Seldom have I encountered such an eye wateringly complete debut diver's collection. </p><p>Seldom have I encountered such fastidious attention to detail. Such imagination.
Such thought for the design and innovation of utilitarian diver's features. It's a truly staggering first foray and from a newcomer to boot. The obvious investment of time, and money. The passion, the obsession it all shines through.

The FROG300 professional diver's watch promises so much. Features such as its dual dive-time safety system, its lifesaving disk embedded into the case-back, its safety locking clasp. </p><p>Then there's its attractive retro-futurist, asymmetrical case design, constructed from titanium grade 4 and offered in seven uniquely striking looks, the plethora of colorful accessories on offer, including a bespoke full titanium grade 4 bracelet. </p><p>OX OCEANIX's FROG300 could be the refreshingly functional technical tour de force that modern day divers and survivors of the zombie apocalypse have been waiting for.
To the diver, professional, recreational or otherwise, how will this fresh faced frog function in the pond? How will it perform beneath the lily pads, down there in the deep?

And to the collector; when and if you can ever decide which of these seven seductive looks to choose from; what will the FROG300 look and feel like on the wrist?
And how will it perform on a day to day basis? Ultimately all these questions must be answered. </p><p>When at last we can defy the zombies with <a href="https://www.oceanixwatches.com/" target="_blank">OX OCEANIX</a>.
And explore the ocean's depths, the depths of our imagination with the FROG300 pro diver's watch, unmolested by the living dead as we drift beneath the waves while zombies sink. ;)

They don’t believe in crowd-funding or pre-orders. Instead they’ve put their money where the mouths are and have invested in the infrastructure for a bricks and mortar watch company that intends to be around for many years to come; all the while wanting to offer fair and realistic pricing aka true bang for your buck.

The Helicon Master 62 is the quintessential vintage diver’s watch but don’t be fooled by its pretty face and diminutive form; it’s more than up to the job.

Crafted from high-grade 316L Stainless steel and topped with a domed sapphire crystal and unidirectional diver’s bezel with a lumed ceramic inlay and boasting 200m or 656ft. of water-resistance, the Master 62’s dimensions are right on trend at just 38.5mm in diameter.

But its diving and sporting credentials don’t end there, housed inside its case is a bespoke IP-plated Faraday cage (an inner brass case) there to ensure not only a high degree of magnetic-resistance as well as additional shock-resistance but further protection for the highly accurate, Seiko Japan manufactured automatic movement.

Every watch features a charming, 3D image of a pearl diver on its case-back and is individually numbered out of 50. And to ensure that the Master 62 stays safely secured to your wrist is a 316L Stainless steel link bracelet with a diver’s extension, a fold-over safety clasp, micro-adjustments and a push-button release, signed with the Helicon logo.

I love a good vintage case silhouette just as much as the next dive watch obsessive. They are by no means thin on the ground though; from the very smallest micro-brands to the most hallowed halls of Swiss haute horology, vintage design cues are king.

The Master 62 takes its design cues from a 1960s prototype discovered in the dusty archives of a now forgotten Swiss watchmaker, combining many of its most appealing form-and-function features borrowed from that ‘golden era’ with the best materials, technology and manufacturing techniques available today.

But where the Master 62 and indeed Helicon truly excels is when it comes to their stunning dials. Of the five alluring dial colors currently offered for the Master 62 collection which include; </p><p>The Blue Hour, Granite, Iridium, Lichen and Claret, there are two stand outs, The Blue Hour and Helicon’s newest color, Claret.

The blue hour or l'heure bleue as it is known on the continent. You know where people like to measure dive watch depth ratings in meters rather than feet or fathoms (I degrees), is that all too fleeting, ethereal moment of twilight that appears just as the dawn is breaking. </p><p>Or when the dusk fades, and the Sun is sat just below the horizon. It was the muse for this particular dial color and I think it has been exquisitely captured creating a real sense of serenity and nostalgia for those halcyon days of summer.

Helicon’s latest colorway, Claret brings that all too rare color pallet to a dive watch. Red is seldom seen adorning a dive watch dial. And only the fabled few have managed to use it to such great effect. There was an Oris diver with a cherry red dial that caused a stir a few years back.

Here we have a combination of application techniques, including a soft brushed sunray finish, in addition to multi-layering of alternating colors, and finally a sumptuous lacquer coating. </p><p>This meticulous process creates a dial that will truly captivate with its subtle interplay of light and reflections. Helicon guarantees that the colors will never be repeated once each batch is sold-out.

Meanwhile a roulette date window (one with alternating red and black numerals) can be found at 3 o’clock on the Master 62’s dial. It’s a feature that was found on early Rolex DJs dating back to 1945 and one that you’ll either love or hate. Most seasoned collectors would happily forgo the convenience of a date altogether.

The dial colors are something to behold all of which are hand-finished with applied indices and Swiss C3 SuperLuminova markings and fitted with luminous, polished hands. I don’t think they’ve nailed the dial text though. Just with my own personal preferences in mind.

The dial text could be rethought, perhaps less text itself and slightly different text size, placement etc. etc. But it’s a minor quibble and one that could be easily addressed in future color iterations, models or indeed a special edition.

By the way, where does the name Helicon come from I hear you ask? And what is a helicon when it’s at home? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. Is it the name of a river that ran through ancient Macedonia? Is it a large brass tuba-like musical instrument? It’s likely none of the above.

Besides horological history has taught us, that when it comes to brand names, it is far more important to know where a name is heading, than from whence it came. And I envisage a bright future for this fledgling English name.

I would however love to see the Helicon brand leaning into their Englishness, their Britishness a tad more, okay a lot more. It’s a small thing but even putting the depth-rating in feet instead of meters would lend even more charm. And perhaps some retro dial font, some vintage script wouldn’t go amiss. And why wouldn’t you put Elstree, London or England on the dial?

Because this young brand dares to stand out from the crowd, strives to push boundaries we didn't even know existed until they were pushed and because they wish to convey their young, free and innovative spirit. </p><p>I think this might just have done the trick. So let's see what this is all about then because I'm just as curious as you are.

The watch is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, ensuring optimal scratch resistance, and is built with 50 whole meters of water-resistance. </p><p>Meaning that it's good for splashing about in the paddling pool with your toddlers.

At the heart of the Core Tourbillon watch is the 3481D hand-wound movement, with a rotating cage at the 6 o'clock position, housing the escapement, balance wheel, and hairspring. </p><p>This ingenious design counteracts the effects of gravity, resulting in enhanced precision. What this actually equates to in the real world of + or - minus seconds per day I could not tell you.

The brilliance of the 26-jeweled 3481D movement is further enhanced by the watch’s open-works architecture, skeletonized dial and of course its exhibition case-back. </p><p>All of which showcase the staggering complexities of the tourbillon mechanism.
The Core Tourbillon is available in Stainless steel or steel with an IP Rose Gold coating.

But at not much under 1500 USD, which is by no means pocket change, the Core Tourbillon is destined to capture attention and spark many new conversations by the office water-cooler.

Thoughts? I have no words. Even I am a little out of my depth, here. But I will say this, this watch will make the perfect billionaire’s beater or a fascinating curiosity for anyone with even a passing interest in mechanical watch making. </p><p>And Audaz should be applauded for even considering to slot such an audacious mechanical wonder into their existing portfolio of otherwise hardcore divers. </p><p><a href="https://www.audazwatches.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99IFcWwy72t6UL0vcmkB-12df9MxAtLpb_Z9cYSfr8ywcNci6Jazx8ntINenLWTf4HQHrTht0KqW31UQHpJreifuLI4VhLrGlJYBfIihUN1GYHNmZ4EfhyphenhyphenZT0fJhYtmqFtuhX9mKqbpo/s200/AUDAZ+Logo.jpg" width="200" /></a></p>tLexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905251972660586481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289312218144537074.post-31401760487692214682023-12-15T00:00:00.143+08:002023-12-15T16:38:08.519+08:00AQUASTAR Benthos HERITAGE ONE [In the Steel]<p>AQUASTAR, it's a name that is known by anyone who has more than a passing appreciation for the diver's watches of yesteryear. Technological innovators of their time and creators of some of the best loved, best remembered and most dearly missed dive watches from the past century. </p><p>After decades of absence this great name finally came back into being along with their flagship Deepstar Chronograph with its iconic mono-compax dial, followed shortly by the Model 60. </p><p>Both of whom were met with great acclaim and much applause from vintage collectors and enthusiasts who in the same breath as singing their praises would invariably ask, but when will Aquastar's most legendary model make its return?

[A LEGEND] That model was the Benthos 500, a diver's watch that had it all; beauty, brawn and brains, because unlike any other mechanical diver's watch it boasted a unique ability to read dive-time via a centrally placed chronograph hand. </p><p>This watch became an indelible and enduring symbol of dive watch greatness. Today, five decades on it’s still highly sought after, and well preserved examples can fetch as much as 8'000 dollars or more.

[The BENTHOS H1] So it was inevitable that it would return, and perhaps only logical that this celebrated model should return at such an auspicious moment in time as Aquastar's sixtieth anniversary year. For 2023 Aquastar has finally answered the call with the release of the Benthos Heritage One or H1.

[An ELEPHANT] But before we discuss the Benthos H1 we might just as well address the elephant in the room or lack of as the case may be. I am of course referring to the reference model's central flyback chronograph as powdered by the Anton Schild Cal. 1902, that gave rise to one of the most elegant and the coolest means of calculating dive-time. </p><p>And was one of the reasons that the Benthos 500 was so venerated. Operated via a single pusher on the case at 4 o’clock this function has not made it across to the new Benthos H1. And it wasn’t for lack of wanting or trying but simply because there are currently no comparable modern mechanical movements available at the moment.

[NOT a re-edition] Which is why this is called the Benthos Heritage One and not the Benthos 500 2023 Re-Edition. It is the historic reference’s spiritual successor and while it only carries the famous Benthos name and not the 500 suffix it is as faithful and fastidiously executed a recreation as one could ever hope for.
So instead of focusing on what the Benthos H1 lacks over the reference model let's take a look at everything it offers above and beyond.

[904L CASE in point] The new Benthos H1 is one of only a few diver’s watches to be made using 904L Stainless Steel rather than the 316L industry norm. What is 904L steel, I hear you ask. It is a grade of steel that is reputed to have a higher tolerance to corrosion than your bog-standard 316L. </p><p>This is because it is alloyed with more nickel and chromium as well as copper. In addition to being more corrosion-resistant, its higher level of chromium is said to give it even more luster than 316L.
If you are familiar with 904L steel and you're not some metallurgist then you probably heard about it from Rolex who kind of claim the alloy as their own which it isn't. </p><p>And who also claim that they were the earliest 904L proponents (since 1985) when they started using it for their Sea-Dweller, which they weren't.
In fact Omega are purported to have been among the very first watchmakers to adopt 904L steel which they used for the Ploprof in 1972. But perhaps Aquastar used it too. </p><p>Btw 904L also costs more than double that of 316L although I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's due to demand. 316L for example is used in dozens of industries including medicine where 904L’s higher nickel content means that it might not be as suitable.

[FINISH and lines] So how does 904L steel translate onto the Benthos H1? Honestly without a side by side comparison it's hard to tell. Even with one, the difference is going to be a very subtle one. But the finish on the H1 is immaculate. </p><p>The satin-brushed portions are sleek and smooth, the radial brushing on the case top is stunning and the highly polished case-back is mirror-like. Though, my personal preference would’ve been for a more utilitarian brushed or blasted back.

[On the FACE of it] Besides the Benthos 500’s tonneau-shaped silhouette, its face has to be the most critical detail to get absolutely correct. And honestly apart from the new name and some other changes to the dial text and one less hand, you can barely tell the H1 apart from the 500 reference. </p><p>I know that because I had to keep enlarging the images I was using when I first introduced the H1 to make sure which was which. This is the look that you guys know and love, what you've been craving and what non-vintage guys like myself have been missing out on all these years.

[To TOTALIZER or not] The Benthos H1 like the historic Benthos 500’s dial has one defining characteristic that has made it so recognizable and really a Benthos family hallmark and that is the prominent orange arrow-hand. </p><p>Previously used for tracking the chronograph on the reference model and today serving a more humble role as a central sweeping seconds hand; yet providing H1 owners an authentic modern-day Benthos 500 experience (as is currently possible).

[DEPTH] The Benthos H1’s 500 meters of water-resistance is only half of the story when it comes to the watch's depth. A thick, flat, anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal covers an inky black dial punctuated by polished indexes that have been applied with brightly glowing Swiss lume. </p><p>An impressive chapter ring plunges down to meet the dial like giant black and white slopes meeting the shore giving the H1’s dial a real sense of depth. </p><p>[HANDS on or off] From some angles the polished sword hands are a little similar, perhaps even a little ambiguous. </p><p>But the Benthos 500 had its highly prominent chronograph pointer, its party trick.
The H1 hasn't got a party trick but at only a whisker above a thousand dollars (pre-order price), she's a relatively cheap date. But unlike some cheap dates she looks just as attractive in the broad light of day as she does when the lights are turned down low.

[Desk DIVER] You know as well as I do that only a handful of guys have the aplomb to actually take their H1 for a proper dive into the unplumbed depths, one of them is Jason Heaton, the author of Depth Charge whose protagonist wears a Benthos 500, but that's what Jason does, he gets Swiss watches wet. </p><p>The rest of us take them in the bathtub but only when we're feeling adventurous. So the point of whether or not the H1 is the perfect backup diver is a moot one. </p><p>But it would absolutely get the job done and there's no reason why you shouldn't wear one in addition to a modern dive computer. But could you get one with a far more prominent minute hand? Yes, of course.

[DIVE-TIME] Whether you take the H1 into the depths of the ocean or the bottom of your deep freezer searching for that last piece of steak to throw onto the grill, you're going to need a timing bezel. </p><p>The H1 has the prerequisite unidirectional, rotating bezel, designed to mimic at least the look (at a glance) of the Benthos 500 but made with a modern ceramic inlay which is of course scratch resistant and is also lumed.

[STRAPPED] When it comes to straps it really is each to their own. The H1 is supplied on a black 20mm ISOfrane rubber diver's strap just like the one that the Omega Ploprof (made from 904L steel) came on in 1972, you know 13yrs before Rolex’s claim. I digress. </p><p>Well, not just like it because the same brains behind the modern-day Aquastar brand also reinvented the famous ISOfrane strap using the latest in FKM rubber manufacturing. For many this is the perfect pairing, and aesthetically I'd have to agree. </p><p>The H1 looks perfect on an ISOfrane.
For some it's going to be a Milanese shark-mesh but for me, someone that lives in a humid climate, a NATO is the way to go. If you're wearing the H1 on a NATO it will sit up a little higher on the wrist and the profile will look a little top heavy. But that's par for the course.

[UNDER the hood] The Benthos H1 reference is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 élaboré grade movement; this is ETA’s highest caliber grade so gets a finer adjustment which translates to better accuracy. </p><p>It also gets some decoration but not an Aquastar rotor that I know of.
Honestly, give me any Swiss caliber with a bit of adjustment and I'm a happy bunny. </p><p>Sure you could decorate it but without a sapphire back, what's the f*ing point? I've got an AP with a solid gold rotor; it may as well be lead for all I know because it's stuck behind a closed back.

[Final THOUGHTS] So the Benthos H1 is going to be a bit of a compromise for die hard fans. You don't get the all singing, all dancing Benthos 500 with its legendary chronograph. And I know that some guys felt pretty disappointed about that. </p><p>Many of those guys own an original vintage variant so they're already blessed.
Perhaps they could consider an H1 just as many supercar guys get themselves a Golf GTI as a daily driver. They're less worry and a lot more practical or usable even but just as fun. </p><p>For me the H1 is kind of a homage watch but unlike most homage watches, it isn't made by a third party, it's made by the same watchmaker as the historic model was. So it still gets to be called a Benthos, and it was created using actual drawings lifted from Aquastar’s historic archives. </p><p>And as such the Benthos H1 has real Benthos 500 DNA baked into its bones and real Aquastar pedigree and heritage coursing through its veins.
At its price point it's a pretty great diver’s watch in its own right. But when you include the authentic looks of a bygone legend it's unbeatable.

[On the WRIST] The H1 wears a lot like the Aquadive Bathyscaphe 100. That's about as close a comparison as I can think of. This isn't at all surprising because like its ISOfrane strap, it was produced by the same team behind Aquadive and Doxa’s rebirth. </p><p>So for me this is a dive watch like the Aquadive Bathyscaphe 100 or the Certina DS-2 Super 500, it's a chunky 70s diver. It was built to be robust and sturdy and to have a solid chin on it like a championship boxer.
I've never had the opportunity to handle a vintage Benthos 500, but it was never lost on me just how significant a watch it was. Even though I only had pictures and a story to go by. </p><p>And if you're going by pictures and a story alone the H1 doesn't compromise at all, it's got the looks and it perpetuates the Benthos 500 story.
But if you're going on build quality, execution, and finishing, as well as basic spec. Well, then the Benthos Heritage One is going to be an improvement in every respect.

[Could it be BETTER?] So how could we improve upon the Benthos H1 without of course turning it into a Benthos 500 Re-Edition i.e. giving it the chronograph and totalizer button?
Honestly I would have gone the extra mile (depending on cost that is). </p><p>The H1 could have been equipped with a manually operated Helium Escape Valve plonked in the empty 4 o’clock position on the case. Even though HEVs are mostly redundant gimmicks that we love to hate, or is it hate to love? </p><p>But the H1 would have made an incredible diving GMT using the arrow-hand as a GMT pointer and having a quick-set pusher at 4 o’clock. This would not only provide the correct amount of hands but also a pusher at 4H.
But would that have compromised case thickness? </p><p>And would this have made it too expensive? Yes and yes.
I think we could improve upon or even perfect pretty much anything in our own minds. </p><p>But perfect is so final, isn't it. I think the H1 is just right for this time, meaning if we get everything we want right now, and then what's there to look forward to. So let's just enjoy it for what it is. This watch was kindly provided by Aquastar for this review. Many thanks.

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.

Introducing the Benthos Diver H1 (Heritage Chapter 1) — a striking, 3-hand dive watch that retains the visual cues, capability and dimensions of the pioneering Benthos 500 from 1970, which was the world’s first dive watch achieving 500 meters of depth resistance without a monobloc case design.

And while the original Benthos was known for its impressive depth resistance and unique center-mounted chronograph functionality, the H1 retains the marked capability and signature crown position of the Benthos but in a more streamlined and economical time-only format.

“The Benthos range of models from 1970 to 1985 remains a legend in vintage dive watch collector circles, and as we celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary, we wanted to pay tribute to this tool watch icon from two distinct perspectives,” says Rick Marei, Aquastar’s modern helmsman. </p><p>“The Benthos design and utility were light years ahead of their time back in 1970, and we’re very excited that we’ve found a way to ensure that everyone has a chance to enjoy this” he continues.

Retaining the original proportions and exact dimensions of the 1970 Benthos 500, the new 2023 Benthos H1 is built around a tonneau-shaped 42mm 904L stainless steel case, with the crown once again in its unique position at 2:00.

As the purest expression of the Benthos visual DNA, this reference is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 élaboré grade movement, and has been embellished with modern updates throughout, including a unidirectional rotating dive bezel with a ceramic insert, and generously applied modern SuperLuminova in Aquastar’s signatur“old radium” ecru color to punctuate its inky black dial.

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? </p><p>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-resistance.

Only a handful of a Swiss watchmakers have the manufacturing capabilities to engineer these types of depth defying wristwatches that we have seen fall in and out of favor. And then right back in again over the past two decades.

And only one of them (that I know of) is a family run business such as DELMA is (since 1924) whose latest version of its flagship diver's model, the Blue Shark IV boasts a water-resistance that is up to 25 times higher than your typical diver's watch.

Perhaps your mechanical diver’s watch fulfills a more aesthetic function as something to be worn to dress up or dress down an outfit. </p><p>But to so many of us, a mechanical diver’s watch fulfills a far more emotional function, providing that tangible link in time.

To a time when there was a different way of doing things; like how they did in the good ol’ days when a mechanical diver’s watch was still an integral part of a diver’s safety equipment. Or before the quartz watch revolution wrought havoc upon the Swiss watch industry.

One of the cool things about owning <i>any</i> half decent mechanical diver’s watch today is that it should be able to do the <i>all </i>of the above with the greatest of ease. </p><p>However the great thing about owing an exceptional mechanical diver’s watch like an Aquastar is that it’ll do it all, <i>brilliantly</i>.

From its time honored design that makes use of classic, elegantly-styled silhouettes to its use of clean unambiguous dial layouts that recall that golden, pioneering era of ocean exploration, far-flung, yes, but never forgotten.

An epoch when the Aquastar name, proudly displayed on the dial today, just as it was back then offered an assurance of reliability thus giving peace of mind to those that were required to operate in such uncompromising environments as found 130 feet below the water’s surface on a recreational dive.

Or indeed on a 36,000ft descent in a submersible to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Like the one that US Navy Lieutenant, Don Walsh embarked on with his co-pilot Jacques Piccard on Jan. 3rd 1960. </p><p>And who was famously accompanied by that legendary experimental, Rolex wristwatch, strapped to the hull of the bathyscaphe, Trieste.

Paying tribute to the brand’s inaugural 1957 diver’s watch, of the same name, that introduced a crucial safety measure for all diver’s watches of the era: a friction ring in the rotating bezel to facilitate against any accidental rotations. </p><p>Devised and originally patented by Aquastar, this simple, but vital feature would later become a standard feature echoed by legions of diver’s watches in the years that followed.

The 2023 Model 60 continues Aquastar’s earliest traditions of capability, adventure and exploration, which began in earnest on January 23rd in 1960 when US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh – </p><p>wearing an original Model 60, and co-pilot Jacques Piccard, made a pioneering journey to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, aboard the bathyscaphe, Trieste to a record-breaking depth of 10,916 meters (35,814 feet).

Walsh’s Model 60 is recognized as Aquastar’s inaugural tool watch, and would set an early precedent for the budding watchmaker, as Aquastar’s innovative and ultra-reliable watches would quickly earn a reputation as the foremost timekeepers of choice for sub-mariners, professional divers, and ocean conservationists alike.

But watches weren’t Aquastar’s only competency — in the brand’s early years under the watchful eye of founder and innovator Frederic Robert, it also produced a wide range of nautical instruments, </p><p>like compasses and analog depth gauges, many of which could be worn in conjunction with an Aquastar watch to create a singular timekeeping and navigational instrument for the wrist.

The 2023 Model 60 pays tribute to this special era, with a new oil-filled compass which can be secured to the watch head using the tail end of a Tropic or NATO-style pass-through strap at 6:00.</p><p> “With every Aquastar release, we try to look at the product cycles introduced by the brand’s original founder, Frederic Robert, and look ahead to what he might still be producing, had the brand never been paused during the quartz crisis,” says Rick Marei, Aquastar’s modern helmsman. </p><p>“We are proud to be both historians and custodians of this rich brand, using the new Model 60 to pay tribute to Aquastar’s influence and innovations in the world of undersea exploration,” he continues.

Thoughtfully sized in a 37mm Stainless steel case the Model 60 is a somewhat unique reference in the deep Aquastar archive, as it follows a more traditional dive watch execution, using bold hour markers and lume-filled paddle hands, a 60 minute rotating bezel, and a center-mounted seconds hand – </p><p>omitting those bold asymmetrical dial elements that would go on to characterize later Aquastar models, like the iconic Deepstar Chronograph.

In keeping with Aquastar’s modern traditions, the new Model 60 maintains a robust 200 meters of water-resistance, and is powered by a top-grade La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement with 62 hours of power-reserve, made in Switzerland. </p><p>And in keeping with the watch worn on Don Walsh’s pioneering dive to the bottom of the ocean, this modern Model 60 encapsulates the adventurous spirit, capability, and category-defining innovation defined by Aquastar in the 1960s, and presents it for an entirely new generation to enjoy.

Thoughts? This unsung hero of the deep, the third forgotten crew member of that epic foray into the Marianas Trench mightn’t have been the timepiece that the World’s eyes were on back then. </p><p>It has managed to sail largely undetected by the sonar of all but the most knowledgeable dive watch connoisseurs for more than six decades. </p><p>Those few in the know like its modern day custodian, Rick Marei for whom its second life is credited. </p><p>But in its former life, it had however caught the eye of one US Navy Lieutenant, Don Walsh whose confidence in it was such that he entrusted it with the crucial role of timekeeper on that potentially perilous dive into a deep sea trench.
