The watch has BGW9 Superluminova on the hands, hour markers and bezel pip. The traditional snowflake hour hands make an appearance here, but, like the rest of the package, it really does work and look sharp. Both the hands and hour markers all have gilt edges and it gives the face an extremely crisp look. You can also purchase additional bezels from the Aquatico website. My version has a matte black dial, but you can also get the watch with a blue, brown, or green dial and there is a ceramic bezel option which also looks really cool. The crystal also has a double dose of anti-reflective coating. Talking about the crystal, it’s flat on top but has a slight dome on the underside that throws off a nice hint of distortion when you look at the dial from low angles. Put together, the watch is a real stunner to look at. It definitely has more than a little look of the Tudor Black Bay, but I love that watch, too, and I think the layout works exceptionally well here with the sapphire crystal and beautiful bronze case. As long as you’re in the market for a bronze diver, you really can’t go wrong. Although, when it comes to the Sea Star, the list of bad things is pretty much non-existent. It wasn’t hard to be smitten with it, but I did set out to be objective and not be blinded by all the good so that I couldn’t see any bad. First, out of the gate, the Sea Star checks my boxes for what I want in a watch, right down to the drilled lugs. If you like the looks you can stop reading and get your own, or if you want to know the details, you can keep going. I can tell you, it’s a solid watch that’s definitely worthy of your cash. I’ve had the Sea Star for a few weeks now and have spent a good amount of time with it on the wrist. I can tell you that my tastes and some watches I’ve been sent do not always line up. It’s not all the time that a company contacts you to review a watch and it’s actually a watch you want and will wear. So when the Aquatico Bronze Sea Star made an appearance a few weeks ago, I was more than excited… I was thrilled. Watches and pocket knives are definitely some things that the fun of getting a new one hasn’t worn off yet. You would think that after a while, getting a new watch in the mail might get a little boring…well, you would think wrong! There is nothing better than my kids yelling down the driveway, “Dad, you have a package!” I think they are just as excited to unbox things as I am. This is a Limited Edition watch, there are only 88 pieces available worldwide.In this review of the Aquatico Bronze Sea Star, we look at the basics and also what makes this watch so special. It's a great watch to take with you on your diving journeys, your desk diving journeys or just a casual stroll. With the 42mm diameter the watch is very comfortable for nearly every wrist.
