Founded in 1962 in Geneva/Switzerland, Aquastar has since set milestones in the evolution of the dive watch

The 2020 Aquastar Deepstar is a faithful recreation of one of the most influential dive watches of the 60s. The unique and uncluttered mono sub counter dial, combined with the small running indicator, and the patented multiple dive decompression bezel table make the Deepstar an unmatched diver-oriented tool with an instantly recognizable design.

The 2020 Deepstar retains all proportions of the original Deepstar from the 60s while relying on high end Swiss Manufacture automatic Chronograph movement instead and the manual wind Valjoux 23. This gives the new Deepstar the practicality and versatility you expect from a modern Chronograph.

DeepStar is a joint industry technology development project focused on advancing the technologies to meet its members' deepwater business needs to deliver increased production and reserves. The DeepStar consortium provides a forum to execute deepwater technology development projects and leverage the financial and technical resources of the. The Deepstar is sufficiently handsome and versatile that it can work with multiple strap types without a problem, and it has a dial you'd be content to gaze upon day in and day out. It's well designed and well built, it comes in multiple dial colors, and its development was supervised by some of the most knowledgeable folks in the dive watch world.

A Legend of the Deep Resurfaces

The 1960s: divers were going deeper and staying down longer, mapping the ocean, discovering new worlds, and exploring the limits of human endurance and tolerance for pressure. But stay too deep too long and a diver can either run out of air or get the bends. Enter Aquastar, a watch brand founded in 1962 with the sole aim of designing and building watches and instruments for aquatic use. Aquastar’s early watches were worn by navy divers, shipwreck hunters, champion freedivers and undersea explorers. But it was the Deepstar that really broke new ground when it appeared in 1965.

Ocean energy technology developer Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) has received a DeepStar project award to study the use of its PB3 PowerBuoy to provide remotely controllable zero-carbon power for deepwater subsea oil production applications.

OPT's moored floating buoys - such as OPT PB3 PowerBuoy - harvests wave energy and converts it to electricity.

The conversion of wave energy into electric power is carried out through a direct drive generator that continuously charges an on-board battery pack (Energy Storage System). Power from the battery is delivered to meet application and end-user needs, such as powering equipment located on the seabed.

'Remote Zero Carbon Power for Electric Subsea Operations' is a techno-economic feasibility study funded by the DeepStar CORE program and supported by Total E&P Research and Technology USA.

The project will explore using OPT's PB3 PowerBuoy and a subsea battery to reduce the cost and carbon emissions associated with conventional means of powering and controlling subsea oil and gas production equipment. The study will consider water depths of 1000, 2000, and 3000 meters.

The wave-energy buoy, i.e. power source, can be placed closer to the production site reducing the cost of a subsea umbilical. Coupled with a modular subsea battery (energy storage in the 100-500 kWh range) it provides sufficient power to operate electric trees, SCMs, and HPUs. This enables decarbonization and autonomous, remotely controlled, all-electric subsea production.Credit: Deepstar

'We are excited to work with Total and the DeepStar member companies to explore the practical cost-saving, low-risk, and zero-carbon benefits of our solutions for deepwater subsea oil production applications,' said George H. Kirby, President and Chief Executive Officer of OPT.

'Total is interested in studying how locally generated electrical power can support its vision of all-electric, low-carbon developments in deep offshore,' said Daniel Byrd, Subsea & Deepwater Manager at Total E&P Research and Technology USA. 'This study is intended to identify which combinations of parameters (water depth, tieback distance) could bring cost savings for a simple subsea architecture using OPT's PB3 PowerBuoy.'

According to available information, the budget under the project starting this month is $80,000. The project is expected to complete in March 2021.
