The Seatime reference line comes to us from the golden era of dive watches, the 1970s. Although the Seatime is not a super-compressor, it features an excellent inner rotating bezel, much like the super-compressors of the era.

This Aquastar Seatime Ref. 1000 in specific is a very special variant. The dial is co-branded with the famous tire company "Pirelli" with their signature logo and name on the dial. Co-branded dials are loved among collectors as it is a general fact that they are some of the rarest of they're reference family and have an added value for being unique. This Pirelli co-branded Aquastar Seatime is perfect for both the watch collector and petrol head.
