A vintage c.1975 Aquastar Regate Yachting or Regatta Timer
The silver dial features luminous baton hands, an orange second hand, quarter hour baton indices, a bold minute track and the brand’s applied logo at 12
Of course the stand out feature is the 10 minute ‘Alpina Regate’ flyback regatta module controlled by the pusher at 2 o’clock. A vari-coloured blue and red disc rotates beneath the dial and shows through the five port hole style windows, giving a yacht’s skipper an on board measurement of progress to the start of a race. Whether or not you end up using this feature for its intended purpose is up to you… I can assure I haven’t
The substantial brushed steel case is in wonderful condition and sits very comfortably on the wrist. The screw back is in great shape and bears the Aquastar logo
The original acrylic glass remains in good shape
Fitted is a brown leather cut out style strap
The Lemania cal.1345 automatic movement has just undergone a comprehensive service at the hands of an experienced watchmaker and the watch’s previous owner. It runs smoothly and keeps good time
