CONDITION:

In working order keeping time after being hand wound. 

Crystal show scratches expected with age. Gold plate has worn off some. Band is by CHAMPION and is a heavy rose gold electroplate. Plating on the band shows wear. Snaps securely. Band measures 6”

Some numbers inside band clasp done by hand. PALQUE G20 is written on inside of bezel at band site.

These watches were water resistant up to 200 meters and had an automatic movement and an inner rotating bezel. Water resistance for this watch has not been tested.

The bezel is placed around the dial under the crystal, inside the watch. But then how do you rotate it? The crown is not screw-down and there is a reason behind it. If you wind it in the normal, pressed-in position it will turn the bezel bi-directionally. Pretty cool feature and something you rarely see. Pull it out to first position and you can set the date.

If you flip the watch over again you’ll find the starfish symbol in the middle of the doomed screw-in case back. Around it you can read the brand name “Aquastar – Geneve” and very faintly the serial number and the reference number (1004) is also visible.

The numbers 10-20-30-40-50 are applied metal indexes just like the little squares indicating 5-15-25…and so on. At 12 you have a triangle with some luminous paint in the middle.

The crown has Aquastar’s starfish logo on it.
