Dive watches are still a relatively modern accomplishment. The Citizen Promaster Dive Watches exemplify the achievement with construction that encases delicate parts within a sealed, stainless case.
From there, the brand offers classic and modern styles with the latest dive-specific technology.

Modern Function, Classic Styling
Citizen has made watches for more than a century and has earned iconic status among watch enthusiasts and collectors who value durability and function in addition to design. That is, in part, due to the brand’s innovations.
In 1970, Citizen was the first to use titanium — then a relatively new, space-age material — in its X-8 Chronometer.
In 1996, Citizen introduced its Eco-Drive technology. This powers the company’s watches using any light source, not just sunlight. This removed the need for a battery and thus the chance of running out of power at an inopportune time — such as on a dive.
It also adds a component of sustainability to the watch, in addition to an insanely long run time. Citizen notes that on a full charge, an Eco-Drive watch will keep running for six months in complete darkness.
The following Citizen Promaster dive watches are all powered by Eco-Drive technology even today. And they vary in the number of dive features, depth of water resistance, and styles.
The ISO compliance notes refer to the industry standards for reporting water resistance claims.

Diving Deeper
Citizen Promaster Dive watches are not only high-performing but also affordable in the competitive watch market. The most expensive of the bunch tops out at just over $500, while the most affordable clocks in near $260.
And each is backed by a five-year warranty, with an extra year added if you register your watch through Citizen.
Citizen also employs the use of atomic timekeeping with its world multiband models. This radio control technology updates your watch, thanks to a time signal from an atomic clock. The margin of error is one second every 100,000 years. That’s tight timing.
