The Watch
Here we have a 2023 Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster BN0100-42E with a 41mm brushed stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with a bevel-edged polished transition towards the tapered lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 49.5mm and a case thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. Down the right side at 3 o’clock a signed Promaster screw-down crown protected by crown guards and deep knurling for extra grip. A unidirectional bezel has a black 60-minute dive insert with large numerals and markings in silver holding a flat hardened mineral glass crystal above a matte black dial, a minute track has applied trapezoidal-shaped indexes coated in luminance marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a framed date window. An orange minute arrow hand and a black hour hand are infilled with luminance and complemented by an arrow-tipped second hand. At 12 o’clock we have the Citizen motif and at 6 o’clock the Promaster logo with “Divers 200m Eco-Drive” printed underneath completes this robust dive tool watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Citizen Eco-Drive globe engraved into it, inside a Citizen Eco-Drive Cal. E168. The watch comes fitted on a 22mm Citizen black polyurethane strap with a signed buckle and comes with its Citizen presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
If you are after a true dive watch that you don't have to worry about and that is super affordable, look no further you have found it! At this price point, you truly cannot go wrong and with the fitted rubber strap it wears and looks far more expensive than it actually is, I wish more brands would offer a fitted rubber like this!
The Brand
Citizen founded the Shokosha Watch Research Institute in 1918. The name originates from a pocket watch it produced in 1924. The Mayor of Tokyo, Mr Shimpei Goto, named the watch "CITIZEN", in the hopes the watch would become a worldwide success. In 1930 the name Citizen Watch Company was introduced. In 1959, Citizen launched Japan’s first fully waterproof watch, the Parawater. During the “quartz crisis,” they developed the Eco-Drive movement in 1976. This was one of the first solar-powered watches on the market. Continuing to innovate and expand its reach In 1993, Citizen introduced the world’s first multi-band atomic watch. It uses Atomic clocks around the world to synchronise to within two nanoseconds per day. Citizen makes the cases, the dial, the hands, and the movement in their Iida factory in Japan. Today the Citizen Group owns brands such as Alpina, Arnold & Son.
