Aigi Watches Royal Danish Air ForcevsAquastar Model 60

The Aigi Royal Danish Air Force is appreciated for its unique antenna dome dial, which one owner finds thematically linked to the seconds hand and evocative of looking out an airplane window. Owners note its on-paper specifications and value for the price. However, some find its 43mm case size and 49mm lug-to-lug measurement chunky, and there is uncertainty about Aigi's quality due to a lack of online reviews and videos. On balance, owners rate the Aigi Royal Danish Air Force as a decent option for its price, primarily due to its unique dial design.

The Aquastar Model 60 is widely praised for its faithful vintage skin diver aesthetic, period-correct 37mm sizing, and excellent wearability. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its charming recreation of a classic dive watch, with some noting its legibility underwater and refined bezel action. The watch is described as a straightforward and endearing dive watch that wears perfectly, making it a great daily wear for some. However, criticisms include simplistic finishing and a bi-directional bezel, which is noted as lacking the safety of a unidirectional one for actual diving. Some enthusiasts feel a flatter crystal lacks vintage charm, and the bezel appears slightly too broad compared to the original. Accuracy figures vary, with one reviewer testing at +3 seconds per day and another at approximately +6 seconds per day. The watch is priced competitively, with sources mentioning pre-order prices around $990 and a standard price of $1,290 or $1,390.
