HTD Aquatìc Bicchierini & SpaceBoy: Seven New Colors for ISO 6425 Dive Watches
HTD has graced us with seven new color variations for its Aquatìc Bicchierini and SpaceBoy dive watches, bringing a fresh Mediterranean-inspired palette to the ISO 6425-certified collection. The Italian microbrand continues to expand its lineup of purpose-built dive watches that meet the rigorous international standard for professional diving timepieces.
Understanding ISO 6425 in the Microbrand Space
ISO 6425 certification is particularly significant in the microbrand watch space, where brands must prove their watches meet the same professional standards as major Swiss manufacturers. The certification requires:
- Water resistance testing at 125% of the rated depth
- Thermal shock resistance testing
- Salt water resistance testing
- Bezel permanence testing
- Luminous legibility in total darkness
- Strap/bracelet strength testing
HTD's Aquatìc collection has earned its ISO 6425 certification through comprehensive testing, ensuring each timepiece performs reliably in demanding underwater conditions.
New Color Variations for 2026
The seven new variations join the existing Aquatìc lineup, offering collectors a wider range of aesthetic options without compromising the watches' dive-ready specifications. The Bicchierini models feature HTD's distinctive cushion case design, while the SpaceBoy variants offer a more traditional round case profile.
| Model | Case Shape | Water Resistance | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aquatìc Bicchierini | Cushion | 300m | ISO 6425 |
| Aquatìc SpaceBoy | Round | 300m | ISO 6425 |
Italian Design Meets Swiss Precision
HTD represents a growing trend of Italian watch brands partnering with Swiss manufacturers to create timepieces that combine Mediterranean design sensibility with Swiss mechanical precision. The Aquatìc collection embodies this philosophy, offering distinctive aesthetics backed by ISO 6425-certified performance.
According to Fratello Watches, "With the Italian summer coming to an end, HTD is just in time to grace us with new colors for its Aquatìc divers for one last jump into the warm Mediterranean waters."
Technical Specifications
Both the Bicchierini and SpaceBoy models feature 300-meter water resistance, unidirectional rotating bezels with luminous markers, and Swiss-made automatic movements. The watches are equipped with screw-down crowns and casebacks, meeting the sealing requirements of ISO 6425.
The cushion-case Bicchierini draws inspiration from vintage dive watch designs, while the SpaceBoy offers a more contemporary interpretation. Both models share the same proven ISO 6425-rated movement and case construction, ensuring consistent performance across the collection.
Why ISO 6425 Matters for Microbrand Collectors
For collectors interested in microbrand dive watches, ISO 6425 certification provides assurance that the watch has been independently tested to meet professional diving standards. This certification distinguishes genuine dive watches from fashion watches that may claim water resistance but lack independent verification.
According to Monochrome Watches, "The ISO 6425 standard ensures that dive watches meet internationally recognized performance criteria, providing divers with the confidence they need in critical situations."

The new HTD Aquatìc Bicchierini and SpaceBoy variations are available through HTD's official channels. Pricing remains competitive with other ISO 6425-certified dive watches in the microbrand segment, offering excellent value for collectors seeking certified dive watches with distinctive Italian design.
