New from Aquanautic
Posted by Joe Vangieri on 13th May 2008
A few weeks ago I visited with this company in Basel. They had a very hip booth, it was like entering a sub. The watches keep tight to the sub theme; they are truly representative of the namesake.

The Superking is keeping up tradition with this complex laser-sculpted case featuring a powerful and harmonious design. Inspired by submarines, this massive chronograph with its second-time zone function guarantees optimal security. Its legibility adapts to the variations in depths down to 500 metres, while the design of the double-crown locking system is based on that of a decompression chamber. The seconds are indicated by the Aquanautic brand’s distinctive screw-propeller hand.
