Aquastar Benthos Professional Review: The Version I’d Wear Every Day
The Aquastar Benthos Professional is a dive watch that successfully merges functionality with everyday wearability. With a compact 42mm diameter and a reduced thickness, it sits comfortably on the wrist, making it practical for daily use while still offering impressive features such as 300 meters of water resistance. Its black DLC coating provides a sleek visual appeal without adding bulk, complemented by a ceramic dive bezel that operates smoothly. The straightforward dial prioritizes clarity, and the exceptional lume enhances visibility in low light conditions, creating a striking contrast with the dark surface. Powered by the reliable ETA 2824-2 movement, the watch maintains excellent accuracy and smooth operation, reinforcing its purpose as a daily companion rather than a mere collectible. The ISOfrane strap adds to the overall comfort, resisting dust and providing a substantial feel against the skin. Priced at $1,590, the Benthos Professional strikes a balance between strong craftsmanship and accessible luxury, making it an attractive option for both dive watch enthusiasts and those seeking a versatile timepiece for everyday wear.
