![]() Thanks to the shape and size of the case, the watch fits very nicely on the wrist, recently I only wear watches with a case size of 40mm, in the case of Aquatico I practically didn’t feel these 2 mm more. It has an optimal size, thanks to which it is very easy to use when changing the time or winding the movement. The crown has no cover, it’s screwed down and has a logo engraved on the top. As always with Aquatico, the cuts look very good and there are not even the slightest flaws in this field. This watch is sold on a bracelet, so for its overall look it is probably a good change, although as I always say, drilled lugs do not bother me. The second element that distinguishes the case from the previous version are the lugs, which in the v2 version have not been drilled right through. Overall, I would prefer the changes to go in the direction of less thickness in watches, but due to the fact that this is a typical toolwatch, I’m able to accept it. It seems more massive and heavy to me now. ![]() The shape of the case itself probably has not changed significantly, but because in this version the bezel is different, together with an additional half a millimeter thick, the watch visually clearly gained weight. What makes it different from its predecessor is thickness – the Seastar v2 has a 14.5mm thick case, which is half a millimeter more than the bronze version. I was sure to see an case identical to the Bronze Sea Star, except that it was made of steel however, the new version of the case is slightly different. Seastar v2 came in the same box as we received previous watches, so a small cardboard box inside filled with fleece with a watch cushion. How many those boxes have I seen before? I think a total of 6. The Sea Star 2 model itself is currently available in 10 variants, recently there have been versions with a dial and hands similar to those of the bronze models, so this confirms the thesis I made earlier. In short, they try to maximize the width of the offer based on already available models. All this meant that, for example, the Super Charger model has a choice of 24 different versions depending on the color / movement used, or whether or not to have a date window. we can now buy a watch with a black dial and a blue or green bezel insert. In addition, versions with bezel inserts have been added, not necessarily the same color as the dial, i.e. – Yes, it can be a very nice watch, I thought, taking advantage of the Black Friday promotion, I did it again – I bought another Sea Star from Aquatico, this time a version with a black dial and a black bezel insert (because only such a color version of Sea Star I didn’t had yet □).Īquatico has recently expanded the range of watches available on their website, mainly adding to most watches the possibility of buying a version with the Swiss Sellita SW200 movement. I realized it was a watch with all the features – for which I liked the Sea Star Bronze so much – only in a steel case with a bracelet and a revised, more original design of the dial and hands. However, when the photos of the ready-made prototype of the watch started to appear, things started to look completely different. The first visualizations of the project didn’t impress me, on the contrary, the project seemed simply ugly to me. The watch was to have a steel case and a changed design of the dial, indices and hands. Some time ago, information about the upcoming new model called Seastar v2 began to appear on Aquatico’s Instagram. ![]() In general, I noticed that the blue matched the indices and the bronze / copper case perfectly, although this watch looked great in every color. Of these three, blue was probably the most beautiful live color. In this way, my hands went through – at first – the version with a blue dial and a blue ceramic bezel, and then with a green dial and a bezel entirely made of bronze. ![]() I liked the watch so much that from time to time I looked for other color versions, wondering what they would look like live (the renders on the Aquatico website did not reflect the beauty of this watch at all). ![]() It was a version with a brown dial and a brown ceramic bezel. The first Aquatico watch I dealt with was the Bronze Sea Star model, the review of which appeared on our blog in July 2019. ![]()
