Citizen Promaster Aqualand Automatic Professional Watches Also
That’s over on the left side of the case, where it looks like a HotWheels rim set into the middle of a valve cover. Here we focus on the Marine – the Eco-Drive Aqualand 200m Promaster.The latest version of the Citizen Promaster Aqualand is definitely a beast (50mm by 15.9mm thick), but all that depth tracking has to show up somewhere. The interesting thing is that they have these lines since their Promaster was launched in 1989, and celebrates the 30th Anniversary of this line with three interesting, and perhaps rather unique watches. Their Promaster line of professional watches also feature a product in each of the Land, Marine and Sky categories. Citizen seems to be no different. It seems that every brand has their watch collections line up to the broad Land, Sea and Sky theme.
Its most noteworthy feature is its depth meter (0-70m). For divers Citizen Promaster boasts of its Eco-drive Aqualand, an ISO compliant diver 200m that has an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Anyways, once the water enters that.
The case is in stainless steel, and massive. This is a common theme running through all three of the 30th Anniversary Promasters.

Each in the lineup has a new watch to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Promaster series.
The dial layout is clean and clear as it can perhaps be with the numerous functions of the watch.

This is in line with typical recreational diving depths which are to 30m and 40m by training agencies like PADI and the like.A power reserve indicator occupies a fan shaped sub-dial inner to the 9 position, interestingly marked “Ready” for full, and “Empty”. The markings from 0m to 40m is stretched from 3 o’clock to 11 o’clock to give better granularity. The scale pitch of depth indicator is non-linear. The rehaut is marked with depth indicators from 0 to 70m.
Perhaps the date is superflous in a dive watch, but it serves to visually balance the power reserve indicator opposite to it.The hands are large, and each of the 5 hands are clearly marked with different shapes, and uses different SuperLuminova colours for clear identification. This is especially important in a dive watch, as obviously it is quite dangerous to rely on a watch which is low in power, which might stop mid-dive. The Aqualand is light powered, and this gauge is used to state of the watch.
The yellow arrow points the the depth gauge hand. The depth indicator is coated in blue luminous material for better differentiation. The central seconds hand is long and sleek, and also tipped with green SuperLuminova. The hour hand is additionally pierced to allow visibility of the dial below.
