In a modern interpretation of the original 70’s dive watch, wear the new Promaster Mechanical Diver – the timepiece with a deep backstory. Inspired by the design of the 1977 Citizen Challenge Diver that was found on an Australian beach in 1983, the watch was covered in barnacles after having been submerged in the Pacific Ocean for years but was still ticking. That history has inspired our new Promaster Mechanical Diver and given it the affectionate nickname, Fujitsubo – Japanese for barnacle. The lightweight and scratch-resistant Super TitaniumTM case is complemented by a black dial with embossed hands and a classic green luminous for a vintage feel, a rotating elapsed-time bezel, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The retro look is completed with the black polyurethane strap with a raised square pattern. This advanced timepiece with automatic movement features enhanced magnetic resistance to protect against external magnetic fields, as well as a 42-hour power reserve. This high-performance watch comes in an exclusive collector’s dive tank box, is ISO compliant and water resistant to 200 meters. Caliber number 9051.

my headline statement is significant because 23 yrs ago i purchased a new R**** submariner which i eventually sold. clearly milsubs are my favorite type of watch, and not only does Citizen return to its 1960s diver roots with this piece, with a hi-beat movement that's equal to any of the Swiss engines, they've added something the R**** sub never had and still doesn't: an incredibly scratch-resistance hardened titanium case. the design and build is a milsub masterpiece, extremely thin for an auto, impeccable 60s-70s diver styling (no crown guards yay!) and a 60click unidirectional bezel that is spot on with no play, something top military watches have. despite my many Swiss divers, and the former submariner purchase, i'd not only rate this as the best in my collection now, but ever purchased. for me it is the 'grail' watch all watch guys speak of.

I am so happy they have come out with this design. It seems like a great addition to the pro master dive line up, and looks very elegant. Please send me one so I can make sure this claim is true!
