I had a chance to get my hands on three of the 36mm models, link which strikes me as the link perfect size for an endeavor like this – it just feels appropriately classic. I have no doubt the link 39mm offerings work just as well, I'm just a sucker for a well-executed 36mm watch.

Three years after re-introducing the Deepstar, Aquastar is bringing back its "other" dive watch, the Benthos. The new Aquastar Benthos H1 is a limited-edition reinterpretation of the original Benthos 500 from 1970. The updated version is link heavy on heritage, maintaining the dimensions and visual cues of the original Benthos.
