Htd Watch: Aquatic Spaceboy

HTD Aquatic SpaceBoy: the 70s skin diver spirit reinvented

This HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy immediately stands out within the Aquatìc collection thanks to its dial inspired by certain European dive watches from the 60s and 70s. Unlike the more traditional Bicchierini version, the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy adopts an original graphic identity with its large stylized numbers integrated into luminous triangles. This particular configuration gives it an immediately recognizable neo-vintage personality.

With this HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy, the young Italian brand based in Florence offers a modern interpretation of the classic skin diver. The 316L stainless steel case features particularly balanced proportions with a diameter of 39 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 47 mm, and a thickness limited to just 11.5 mm, including the crystal. This remarkable slimness allows the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy to maintain excellent comfort despite its capabilities as a true dive watch.

The matte black dial of the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy highlights its luminescent printed indices and its characteristic large 3, 6, and 9 numerals. Polished hands filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 ensure excellent legibility in all conditions. The unidirectional rotating bezel with 120 clicks and a black aluminum insert perfectly complements the vintage diver DNA of this HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy.

At the heart of the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy beats the Japanese Miyota 9039 caliber, a premium automatic movement renowned for its reliability and slimness. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, features a hacking seconds function, while offering approximately 42 hours of power reserve. This technical choice allows the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy to offer an excellent level of performance while maintaining a particularly competitive price.

The three-link stainless steel bracelet of the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy features a folding clasp with micro-adjustments. Combined with a screwed-down crown, a double anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal, and 200 meters of water resistance, it transforms the HTD Aquatìc SpaceBoy into a true tool watch capable of accompanying both daily life and water activities.
