The dial is clean and easy to read, with a ceramic bezel being a welcome upgrade from the steel bezel of the Sea Star. The vintage-style case oozes 1970s-chic and keeps the watch looking thin, despite its extreme 1000m water resistance (with a helium release valve on the side of the case at 8 O’clock should you wish to take it deep sea diving). At its heart is either a Swiss Sellita or HKPT movement. Classic style hands and indices are combined with intense colours, satin-finished surfaces and a high-quality Vulcanized Rubber strap. Their latest model, the Super Marine, brings together traditional watchmaking with modern elements. Despite some QC issues, I did like their Sea Star watch when I reviewed it. First Impressions: Aquatico Super Marine Dive WatchĪquatico make budget dive watches with a lot of bang for their buck. When Mer-Man is first revealed, the webbing between his right ear disappears for a few frames.Our last review of an Aquatico watch was back in 2019 – now they’re back with the Aquatico Super Marine Dive Watch.He-Man's scabbard appears to be empty during all of his scenes set in the underwater city of Aquatica, except for a couple of brief close-up shots.Adam laughs at Cringer in He-Man's much deeper voice.Alan Oppenheimer uses Mer-Man's voice instead of Battle Cat's when Cat says "Nice Job" to Man-At-Arms.Man-At-Arm's green gloves are drawn to have fingernails during close-ups.Background elements and the glass cage seen in the Coral Caverns are reused from a similar scene in which Teela was held captive by Mer-Man in Search for the VHO.The whirlpool animation was previously seen as part of the Crossroads to All Universes in Quest for He-Man and would be used again in Island of Fear.The two giggling ladies seen at the palace grounds will be seen again in Pawns of the Game Master.The underwater cavern backgrounds were previously seen in Search for the VHO and can be spotted again during the moral segment in The Shadow of Skeletor.Princess Nami's character model was used earlier as Celice in " Song of Celice" and Mira in " Ordeal in the Darklands", albeit with caucasian skin.This episode was storyboarded by Tom Minton.The story is loosely based on a Filmation script premises titled "Alkaya, City in Glass", in which the evil Masters of the Universe overthrew an undersea kingdom. Erika Scheimer (uncredited) as Princess Nami and giggleing palace girls.Lou Scheimer (credited as Erik Gunden) as Orko, King Randor, Orn and Aquatican. Alan Oppenheimer as Man-At-Arms, Mer-Man and Battle Cat/Cringer.John Erwin as He-Man/Prince Adam and Shelandor.Man-At-Arms: "Orko, you're absolutely right!" Orko: :Because it's what's inside a person that really counts, right?" You should never judge a person by the way he looks, but rather by the way he behaves." Mer-Man talked them into thinking we were their enemies, and it almost caused great harm. Man-At-Arms: "In today's story, the Aquaticans were afraid to trust us because we looked different from them. He-Man manages to spin a guard rail on the edges of the city fast enough that it destroys the whirlpool, saving Aquatica. Back in Aquatica they manage to get the Pearl back and the princess restores everyone to normal, but Mer-Man decides to destroy the city with his whirlpool machine. He-Man and Man-At-Arms swim into the cave where she's being kept and are indeed attacked by a giant creature, which He-Man defeats by causing a cave-in. Impressed by He-Man's strength, he thinks he might be able to defeat the monster set by Mer-Man to guard the city's true ruler, Princess Nami. They're saved by Shelandor, an Aquatican who knows enough magic to protect himself from the mind control Mer-Man has imposed on the other Aquaticans with the Pearl of Power. He-Man manages to defeat the creature and they flee the arena, but are soon surrounded by guards. When they try to attack him, he uses the mystical Pearl of Power to restrain them and has the three sent to the arena to fight the gigantic Lorbos. They realize it must be the legendary City of Aquatica, which they find is ruled by Mer-Man. They find themselves swept into an underwater city inhabited by fish-like humanoids. After they sail out their ship is drawn into a whirlpool as well, and Adam changes into He-Man to save Man-at-arms from falling debris. Prince Adam, presumably thinking this might be a job for He-Man, convinces his father to let him and Cringer go along as well. Mysterious whirlpools have been sinking ships and King Randor puts Man-At-Arms in charge of finding their source.
