In November 1964 Aquastar received a Swiss patent for a 'piece of horology allowing the counting of a restricted number of minutes' and in 1965 Heuer became the distributors for Aquastar watches which included a model called the Regate, featuring apertures in the dial that change colour as a 10 minute countdown takes place.
