Finally, One That Creates a Spark!

Early last year, I fell down the rabbit hole of Swiss micro brands. I had heard of AquaStar before but didn’t realize the full gravity of their offerings until I acquired a WONDERFUL pre owned Benthos Heritage II in the black colorway. Especially for those with fairer wrist sizes, some griped the Heritage I case was a bit too large / thick. Honestly I’m beginning to tire of 42 + mm dive watches with 50 + mm L2L measurements that are also 14-15 mm thick… Enter the Heritage II re-edition. Get ready for these dimensions: 40 x 11.9 x 45 mm! Talk about PERFECT fit and wearability on my 7 inch wrist! I’ve observed it wears more like a 38.5 or 39 mm. The black H II has since moved on. But not before I promised myself I’d order the one I’ve always been keen on - The Blue Edition! When I inquired with AquaStar today, they offered me a 15% off coupon. They also confirmed they’d cover duties, tariffs and taxes - so that sealed the deal! Happy to say I just placed my order with a projected shipping date in March! I have NO doubts the wait will be worth it , as this model really evokes emotion for me. Notice the addicting skin-diver-shaped case, solid case back with cool brand logo, the gorgeous blue colorway, no date, minimal dial text, and overall uber funky vintage vibes. Character, soul and charm 😍 AquaStar is a brand that is doing everything right! 💥 👏🏻👏🏻 I ordered on the eye-pleasing BOR bracelet, but already know this is a strap monster and looks amazing on tropic, canvas, sailcloth, etc. Here are some pics from AquaStar.com. As for value, it doesn’t get much better than this! 👍🏻 Will be sure to update my Friends when it lands in a couple months 🍻

Which one for you? Black or Blue?
