Citizen Blue Promaster Marine Eco-Drive Watch BN0168-06L

The Watch

With over 100 years of experience, Citizen has built a rock-solid reputation crafting reliable, precise timepieces. Their dive watches and accessible models are celebrated worldwide. The brand designs and assembles every piece in its factories in Japan. Citizen presents this outstanding Promaster Marine Eco-Drive BN0168-06L, built for water sports. It houses a stainless steel case with a 44 mm diameter. In silver, it features a grooved rotating bezel with a graduated minute track. A mineral crystal sits atop this round case, offering a clear view of the dial. At 4 o'clock, a grooved crown lets you set the hours, minutes, and date. This timepiece has a screwed-down case back providing water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

The dial of this Promaster Marine watch features a blue color that highlights the marine theme for diving enthusiasts. It is fitted with two diver hands indicating hours and minutes, and an arrow seconds hand displaying the seconds. These sweep around geometric indices and a minute track running along the dial perimeter. All time indicators feature a luminescent treatment, allowing you to read the time in any situation - even underwater. At 4 o'clock, a date window keeps you updated day by day. Below the 12 o'clock index, the Citizen name is printed, and at 6 o'clock, the movement type and water resistance are noted.

The Movement

This watch features a Citizen Eco-Drive movement. Of Japanese manufacture, it is powered by any light source and never needs a battery. More specifically, it is the E168 caliber that brings the hands and date window of this timepiece to life.

The Strap

A polyurethane strap in blue is fitted to this Promaster Marine. Sturdy and comfortable, it fastens with a silver pin buckle. The strap features a 20 mm lug width.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - a true dive watch in every sense. It's built for depth: snorkeling, freediving, sportive swimming, shower, and bath are all no problem. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to keep the seals intact.
