There is no doubt that dive watches hold a special place in the hearts of many collectors, ourselves included. 

In fact, Analog/Shift was founded nearly ten years ago with its eyes set squarely on vintage divers. With their simple designs and robust movements, the tool watches of the 1960s and 1970s were built to accompany the adventurer across the globe and to keep time at its greatest heights, as well as within its darkest depths. Yet for every Rolex Submariner, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, or Omega Seamaster, there were scores of other lesser-known names that ooze charm and merit consideration from the vintage watch enthusiast.

The Seatime from Aquastar is one such example. This particular Seatime, a Reference 1000, features a 38.5mm stainless steel cushion case, a matte black luminous dial with aged tritium indices and handset, an inner rotating timing bezek, a signed crown, an acrylic crystal, and a screw back case. 

In very good condition throughout, it’s a chunky throwback to a time when SCUBA divers truly relied upon their watches.
