GREAT dive watch, excellently made and unique aesthetic
This is one heck of a watch!Citizen has a great legacy of producing quality watches, especially given their price point. The eco-drive movement, a proprietary Citizen solar-powered quartz movement, has proven itself over the past decades to be reliable and accurate.This Orca Promaster incorporates the eco-drive movement to great effect, making it both an excellent “grab-and-go” watch that will not need to be wound or reset, as well as making it a great daily wear watch.As you can see, this watch is on the beefy side. It’s 46 mm wide and about 14 mm thick, so it is larger than many other dive watches, but not unwearable by any means. The lugs curve down towards the wrist, which would tend to make it wear smaller; this is offset by the very thick strap, which is stiff and makes it wear larger. These two factors more or less cancel each other out, at least on my 6.5″ wrist. Again, it’s wearable for sure, but it doesn’t disappear on your wrist.The polyurethane strap is integrated, meaning you will not easily be able to swap this strap out. See the photos for what I mean. Granted, the strap does have small cutouts in the back, to allow easier access for a spring bar tool, but the point is that you would have to get an aftermarket strap that was custom fit to this watch in order to change the strap out. The strap tapers to 20mm for most of its length, and is also ridged like the spine of the watch’s namesake.Build quality is excellent. The whole watch is black-PVD coated, thickly, and looks quite sleek in person.The crystal is mineral, which may be a gripe for some. It’s thick and domed. Weight of the whole watch is 120 grams.The crown is the best I have handled on ANY watch, bar none. That includes Swiss watches, other Japanese watches, American-made, you name it. The crown is of the screw-down type, with a little spring that pops it out to the unscrewed, neutral position once you have unscrewed it. It clicks very solidly into the first and second extensions, and the adjustment is positive, with no creep or slop. Screw-down is also short, about 1/2 or 3/4 of a turn. The crown is also signed with the Citizen “broad arrow” which can also be seen on the dial.The bezel is 60-click, unidirectional, coin-edge, and has zero backplay. ZERO. That’s nice. There was no detectable slop in the motion either. The bezel action is not gritty and has no creep, but neither is it snappy… perhaps I could best describe it as “precise” and “firm” although these terms are subjective.Legibility is great, with a short, stocky hour hand and a longer minute hand with a triangular arrow at the pointer end.The seconds hand is a double-lollipop style, i.e. there’s a lollipop circle neat the pointer end, but there’s also a larger circle on the counterbalanced end. This becomes more noticeable in the dark, when those circles really pop due to the lume.Night visibility is excellent, with a bi-color lume application. Cyan blue for the dial, and the more traditional light green for the hands and the lume pip on the bezel. Lume lasts for hours. It’s not quite as bright as the Seiko Monster lume (which you can actually read text by in the dark) but it’s a close second and certainly sufficient for telling the time.The date window is color-matched (i.e., it’s black with white text) and the action is crisp.The dial itself is slightly textured. The photos I took will show that if you look at them close up. The effect is subtle and overall serves to soften the black color of the dial. It’s perhaps described as “muted black” or “off-black” or perhaps even more exactly “anthracite.” It’s nice, and in my opinion it’s better than just a plain glossy black dial.A bonus LED Lenser flashlight is included. It runs on 4 (included) AA batteries and is quite bright, with a double o-ring sealed body (meaning it’s waterproof.) LED Lenser is also a respected name in the flashlight world. The flashlight does not glow in the dark, but the body is made of that high-vis “safety yellow” that you see in safety vests and the like. It’s a great addition to the whole package.Overall, this is a really fantastic watch. See the video as well for a walkthrough and to see it in motion. I would say, in closing, if you like the aesthetics of it, go for it. The quality is there to back it up.
