Aquastar was founded circa 1962, and was focused on diving watches. This model was released in the mid-1960s and was marketed towards real divers with its 20 Atm ( 200 meter/600 feet ) depth rating. This beautiful vintage watch comes with a crisp case in great condition with sharp edges and only light signs of use. Dating to the 1960s this classic model is fitted in a perfectly sized 37 mm case. It offers a fairly wide-set bezel that gives this watch a nice presence. The dial is allover in clean condition and the luminous material on both the dial and hands have aged to a very pleasing deep yellow patina. The simple Aquastar-logo alongside the indexes and beautiful hands are harmonious and well balanced. The crown is original. The automatic movement is running strong and keeping time well. This model was seen as one of the best divers you could find in the 1960s, thanks to its impressive water resistance and inner rotating bezel activated directly by the crown. The crown was also used to wind the watch, so if you wanted to both wind the watch and set the bezel, you would need to wind it first and then set. The watch comes with good quality brown leather strap wich gives a great lookat this historic timepiece.

This Aquastar is a rare timepiece and a true WRISTCLASSIC with perfect proportions, timeless styling and a great reference to the diving-sport.

The result of it was to launch on the market the first specific regatta watch. Because of the desirability, these models were sold in specialized dive shops. Priced lower than Rolex and Tudor, the Diver 63 became a bestseller and was known for its practicality.
