1970s Aquastar Benthos 500 Chronograph Ref. 1002

When it comes to tool watches, there is no shortage of options from storied marques and brands that have produced dive watches which have transcended the watch world to become luxury items, but there is something arguably more appealing about an industry-focused tool watch. The Aquastar Benthos 500 was a watch that was never marketed to anyone outside of divers, it was the first watch to lay claim to a 500-meters depth rating, and it features a “minute creeper” chrono complication to boot! In this episode of our series Under the Radar, Craft + Tailored’s very own in-house horological treasure hunter, Tyler Vanes, dives into the esoteric waters where the 1970s Aquastar Benthos 500 swims and explains exactly what makes this funky “minute creeper” chronograph so unique, and why it represents such as strong value in today’s market!
