FS: AQUASTAR DEEPSTAR near NOS condition (Cmdr J.COUSTEAU)

Here for sale a Super rare 1st execution AQUASTAR DEEPSTAR - 1st Chrono to 100 Mts tested by Cmdr Jacques Cousteau 1965

This is even rare because it's a 1st execution with Valjoux 23 and not the most common Valj. 92

This watch was tested and used by Cmdr Jacques Cousteau and his crew from 1965 - 1975

The watch here on sale was from a Portuguese Navy Admiral but as you can see on its almost NOS condition, was almost not worn and had never been on sea waters, thus the super condition of the lovelly charcoal color dial with beautifull lume and hands too.

The beautifull case is 38mm without crown but wears as if it's a bit larger maybe due to the large signed crown.

The watch comes on Aquastar original box.

Watch is 100% original in all parts, never polished.

Was recently full serviced working perfect and very accurate.

Some information for who doesn't know about its history :
