Command the sea in style with the new Promaster Dive. This iconic Citizen men’s dive watch is the latest addition to the Promaster Sea collection with a strikingly original design inspired by the majestic Orca whale. The sporty and functional dive timepiece features a silver-tone stainless steel case accented by a blue three-hand dial and date with elliptical white hour indices and bezel indentations that evoke the shapes of the orca, plus pops of color at the 12 o’clock marker and minute hand. This ISO-compliant dive watch also features anti-magnetic and anti-shock resistance, a one-way rotating elapsed-time bezel, and luminous hands and markers filled with a superior lume for legibility. The blue polyurethane strap mimics the form of the orca’s fin and fastens with a buckle, and the watch is water resistant up to 200 meters with a screw-down crown, making it a perfect companion on your next dive. Sustainably powered by any light with Eco-Drive technology that never needs a battery, this is the ultimate dive watch to own and comes in a unique scuba tank-inspired box for the serious diver and collector.

“A month ago, i would have given this blue Orca watch 5 stars. If you're looking to purchase, be aware that the original strap that's on it likely will be the only one that will ever be on it. I've been brand loyal to Citizen for over 35 years. They've always offered amazing quality and style for a reasonable price point. I've loved owning this Orca. I've had it for a little over a year and it's been on my wrist for diving, dinner parties, and going to work daily. However... the polyurethane strap cracked and split right at the point of the buckle. I found out, when I looked for a replacement, that the watch strap is completely unique to this model and no other strap made, aftermarket or Citizen made, will fit it. I contacted Citizen for a replacement and was told there weren't any in stock and they had no idea if or when they would have any. They said they could take my name and put me on the list under a backorder heading but had no idea when or if I would ever receive a replacement strap, and the cost would be $90. It's not covered under warranty as well, as straps are considered wear and tear. So here I am, with a watch without a usable strap, no way to replace it, thus no way to wear the watch. It's hard to believe that a company like Citizen could produce thousands of these watches, sell them with non-standard unique straps, and didn't plan to have inventory of spare straps when their customers needed replacement. I'm really hoping that Citizen's customer service isn't going down the path of so many others. So disappointed.”

“The "Orca" by no means is a small watch, but it is engineered in such a way that it's wearable even for those of us that may not have big wrists. The strap is supple and highly breathable, and there's no sense of having to "break it in." We're not talking cheap resin here. I would encourage anyone to try out the polyurethane option over the steel bracelet; this is a "pure" diving watch that has the rubber integrated extremely well. Lume is perhaps the star of the show, a breathtaking part of the watch which has to be seen to be believed. To date, I've not had a watch that impresses me quite as much as this one, especially after being outdoors and coming inside to a darker room. Lastly, the dial. To me, this is the most unique looking diver on the market. I don't particularly find most divers compelling, but this is a special-looking watch. The way the gradient blues sort of play with light due to the watch's ever-so-slightly domed crystal makes for a dazzling display. So, the Orca is a bit of a no-brainer. Since purchasing it close to a year ago, I find myself constantly grabbing it. There's a certain toughness and surety to it that makes you feel confident that it can handle literally anything you could throw at it. I've not seen scratches or dents or cracks since owning it, and it's been beachside, in the woods, moving scrap, etc. It is an undeniably heavy watch, weighing in at over 120 grams; however, I think the weight is a part of the overall package here. Look, Citizen, if you're reading this: you've got me as a customer. Ten years from now or so, re-release the Orca again in titanium, and I'll be a day-one buyer. The Orca has quite effectively ruined all other divers for me. This is my one.”

“Great watch. My second one. Both have been for diving. After 20 years the first wouldn’t hold a charge. I no longer dive. At my age and physical limitations I still want to display my display my SCUBA ethos. I especially like the aesthetics of this instrument. My only complaint is with my inability to register the warranty. Can’t find a phone number register. Could you please supply.”

“Very happy with watch. The watch is currently on a windowsill, getting full sun. The Lume is insane. I understand this watch is not for everyone, yet I love it. Me being older, a chunky watch is good, yes I do wish the date window was larger, I wish I could locate a metal braclet for it. If your wrist is 10" or smaller, the current strap will fit, I works great for wearing a wetsuit. This is my everyday beater watch. I have no complaints regarding crystal type, they have pros and cons. I look forward to passing this watch down to my grandson.”

“I do long distance swimming and I wanted a solar powered watch. I did not want plastic. Months ago I bought a Nautica, I returned it because it had a faulty stem. The Citizen watch is truly a better manufactured watch. It’s not very heavy. I wish the date was a little bigger, but otherwise it is perfect for my needs. Very stylish also.”

“What a great time piece. Super happy with it. I have 24 watches and this is my second Citizen. They have come a long way and I have my eye out for more of them.”
