The Story
“Layered wave lines pressed into a deep blue dial that lightens towards three o'clock, under a blue sapphire bezel, so the whole face reads like swell moving across open water.
The Aquaria is Kshan's only watch, and the money goes on things you can touch: a sapphire bezel insert on a 120-click unidirectional bezel, a double-domed sapphire crystal with three anti-reflective layers on the underside, a screw-down crown and caseback, and a brushed case with polished chamfers. It is 40mm across, 49mm lug to lug and 12.1mm thick including the crystal, so it wears flatter than most NH35 divers. It is rated to 150m, not 200m, and the movement is the same NH35 you get in watches at half the price. You are paying for the finishing, not the movement. It comes on an FKM rubber strap, and Kshan now sells a matching steel bracelet for ₹7,499.

About the maker
Kshan Watches
Founded 2024 · Noida · Akshay Madan (co-founder)
Kshan — Hindi for 'a moment' — is a Noida brand run by Kshan Watch Pvt Ltd, started by co-founder Akshay Madan after years of restoring, modding and assembling watches as a hobby. That background shows in what it chose to sell: a single model, the Aquaria, a 40mm NH35 diver whose spec sheet reads like a checklist of things enthusiasts complain cheaper divers skip — a sapphire bezel insert, a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside, a screw-down crown and caseback, and a case only 12.1mm thick. A matching steel bracelet followed in September 2026. One reference is a narrow catalogue, but it is a focused one.
