Aquastar Genève was founded in 1962 by Frédéric Robert, a diver and watchmaker who aimed to create innovative timepieces for aquatic exploration. The brand quickly gained recognition for its technical achievements, including the Deepstar chronograph and the Benthos dive watches, which were favored by professional divers and military units. Aquastar introduced several patented features such as the inner rotating bezel and the no-decompression dive table bezel. Though it faded from the spotlight during the quartz crisis, Aquastar was revived in the 2020s, reissuing classic models and continuing its legacy of precision dive watchmaking.
