Citizen Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with a Rubber Band Promaster Marine

Product Information

All the while, in my mind I was already thinking about my next dive and how and where I could get dive certified. The collection initially comprised three models – one for each application – with the Aqualand for divers (even though already launched four years before), the Altichron, a watch with an altimeter capable of measuring altitudes from -300m to 5000m, and finally the Promaster Sky, with a world time function. To complete the package, the NY0100-50XE is worn on a solid Super Titanium bracelet with a folding clasp and diving extension. Citizen followed the same principle but reversed it by placing the crown at the 8 o’clock position instead of 4 o’clock.

I’ll be honest, I got mine three years ago now, and I’ve never had any issues with timekeeping, which is quite impressive considering that I have no idea when it was last serviced. The Citizen Promaster NY0040 is often overshadowed when it comes to diving watches by the likes of the Seiko SKX007 or the Seiko SKX009 which there’s no denying, are impressive watches.Recently, TAG Heuer released their new Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver, a great reminder of the great full lume divers from the 1980s. Taking it out of the makeshift packaging, I found it to be in a better state than I had expected, ticking away, on time, and with the day and date both correct. This Citizen Divers watch actually has a great history to it, earlier models were used by Military and Police units, most notably being the Italian Marina Millitare‘s go-to watch! Changes and upgrades from the NY004 include the shape of the lumed indices, now straight and sharp corned instead of round.

It’s 2021 and I just read today your 2015 review of these two classic dive watches and must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the read. It’s the latest generation lume, and it glows like there is an ’80s neon party taking place on your wrist.

Yes, it’s June and that means that people are giving serious thought to where they will spend their vacation. Citizen does make some heavy, solid-link bracelets with diving extensions but they run in excess of €100. Regarding weaknesses of the SKX007, I dislike how the dial is a crisp white and the hands are off-white.

But in combination with the full lume dial, this is a beauty of a watch that you can still pick up between €200 and €250. Compared it with the diving computer and the depth gauge was reliable down to 32 meters – i trusted it. The unsigned crown contains thick ridges and screws down but still protrudes far beyond the crown guards. As you’ve probably guessed from its name, the Promaster collection is all about professional applications, meaning watches with a purpose. This is a 21 jewel movement with a 21,600 BPH which many find to be more accurate than the Seiko SKX007, although this can cause quite the debate.The watch you see here is clearly not disruptive and sticks to the recipe invented almost 25 years ago with the first steel Promaster Marine 200m Automatic. Thousands of ads go up each day, however, the ads are in German, most sellers speak only German, and they will likely only ship within Germany. My Fugu gets equal wrist time on a NATO strap and an aftermarket bracelet (I don’t particularly like rubber straps). This is considered an in-house movement by Citizen and vibrates at a frequency of 21600 beats per hour with 21 jewels.

Citizen Promaster NY0040-17LE - Chrono24

For those interested in a bracelet for this watch, anything with endlinks that fit the NY004 or the newer NY009 will fit this watch as well. They are etched with a high-power femtosecond laser (one femtosecond being a quadrillionth of a second), on three different levels within the sapphire crystal dial. We did a lot of amazing things during that trip, but the highlight for me was those 20–30 minutes I spent underwater.While the metallic applied markers, all generously filled with luminous material, are identical to existing steel models, the hands have been redesigned and are larger and bolder than before. True G-Shock watches are exceptions because the casing and the whole movement is hardened against shock and EMPs.
