The collection took shape in 1989 as the “ brand for land, sea and air professionals” with purpose-built models. But still, when presented, the Aqualand wasn’t yet a Promaster. It was the world’s first watch fitted with an electronic/digital depth gauge, which anticipated what would eventually become the standard equipment for divers: diving computers. In 1985, Citizen introduced a watch that would become a favourite of divers and watch enthusiasts, a watch that made an impact and that is still, today, one of the brand’s most emblematic models, the Aqualand – which is extensively explained in this in-depth article. The Aqualand 200m, a modern, utilitarian icon that was essential in the creation of the Promaster collection. It was also, back in the days, the watch with the greatest water-resistance available for public use. This impressive, ultra-robust, uncompromising dive watch paved the way for what would become the Promaster collection.

One crucial step in the construction of the Promaster collection occurred in 1982, a few years before the actual existence of this collection, with the launch of the Citizen Professional Diver 1300m. To deal with saturation diving, Citizen opted for an ultra-hermetic, rust-resistant titanium case.įast forward, Citizen continued its development and, for instance, was the first brand to use titanium to make (commercially available) wristwatches back in 1970. The iconic 1982 Citizen Professional Diver 1300m. But there’s more to discover before this date. This collection includes watches for sea (dive watches), land (exploration watches) and sky (pilot’s watches) and the actual name Promaster was first coined in 1989. PromasterĪs you’ve probably guessed from its name, the Promaster collection is all about professional applications, meaning watches with a purpose. And even if it has moved into fashionable territories with a dial bearing the industry’s hottest colour, it remains one of the best value proposition dive watches on the market. And today, we’ll look at the brand’s latest iteration, the Citizen Promaster Marine Automatic Diver 200m Super Titanium™ NY0100-50XE with its green dial.
And one, in particular, has long been a fan’s favourite, a watch with its own community, the Promaster. When it comes to its core range, where Citizen has long excelled, we have to look at far more accessible watches.
Even though we recently focused our attention on the (truly impressive) Citizen Caliber 0200, this highly accomplished model is an exception for the brand.
