Citizen Promaster Marine Owner Review : Aggressive, singular and athletic

(Citizen Promaster Marine Ref: NY0141-10L). I was looking for a real diving watch that was not too expensive to go to the beach in the summer. I quickly chose this superb Citizen. This model was worn in the 90s by divers of the Italian army. Its robustness is also highlighted thanks to the famous story of this Promaster found on an Australian beach covered with concretions after spending several years in the water and which was still working.... I was immediately attracted by this pretty blue sunray dial, its crown at 8 o'clock and its sharp aluminum bezel which give it an aggressive and sporty look. Citizen has taken into account the remarks that had been made on the previous model by equipping this Promaster with the in-house 8204 movement with stop seconds and a precise 120-click bezel without the slightest play. The most important improvement is the presence on this new model of a sapphire crystal! This model at less than 300€ is ISO 6425 certified, i.e. "Diving watch" The readability is excellent and it is a real flashlight in the dark. The polyurethane strap with its extensions for diving suits is quite pleasant but has the unfortunate tendency to get dirty. Similarly, we can regret the abandonment of the engraving of the Promaster logo on the case back as well as this new crown that I find a little less beautiful. Finally, its 44 mm is very well worn thanks to a very contained horn to horn. In conclusion, I can only recommend this Citizen if you are looking for a diving watch with a rather atypical look and which will accompany you perfectly in your nautical escapades!
