Very cool looking watch especially on the white strap.
Just got this exact watch today. Breath taking dial!❤
One of the most beautiful dial and bezel colorway i have ever seen. Thank you for making this video. ill check this out
Very cool. I like what Citizen is doing 👍
I also waited patiently for months since the watch was announced, and managed to snap one up from a great Italian AD for a good discount off list price! The wait however was excruciating! I also ordered the white FKM from 7Friendsandwatches tonight as the black rubber, although serviceable, lets the package down in my opinion for a limited release watch. I'll probably add a bracelet a bit down the road, but for now, I can't wait to see it on the white FKM! Great review as always sir!
I got mine too! Thanks for this review and the idea of the white strap!
This is absolutely beautifull!
Wonderful as usual. Great watch but the best watch channel for sure. Always enjoy you vids!

You inspired me to buy this. I got it with the a steel bracelet, too. I had just ordered the original blue dial and then an hour later saw this. Canceled that order, got all money back, and bought this instead. Last one on eBay at the cheapest price ($370). Coming in a couple weeks. What a magnificent dial! Love the white across the second marks too. Definitely found a gem!

Fantastic video and review, thank you! I've honestly never thought much of these Promaster divers in the past, but that dial is beautiful I must admit. Paired with the white rubber, or a turquoise, that would be a fantastic summer watch with some real presence!

I have the army green Fugu I bough for $190 and its a watch worth for that price. The Unite with blue model was $475 retail but after discounts I managed to find it for $350 which is still a lot for this model so I passed on it. For similar price, you will find a Seiko 38mm solar prospex models which comes with better finishing, decent bracelet and sapphire crystal. Unless you are after this particular dial, dont waste your money on this model. Just get the standard promaster colors which you can find for under $200 and spend the change on a good strap.

My dream watch
great video and I am sold. I bought one in Vancouver last weekend and it really is a striking piece. However after getting home and handling it a bit more I realized that the bezel insert (not the bezel ring itself) rattles a bit when tapping it with my finger nail. I called the store where I bought it from and asked them to tap on a few other pro master dive inserts and they said that they seemed solid and did not rattle. I went to the only jewelry store in my small town and they did have some Citizens with a bezel, not like mine, and I tapped a few of those and did hear some rattling so not sure if it is a thing to worry about or not. Any feed back if and one else has/had this issue?
Great review 👍🏽 it’s definitely one to get soon. I noticed there where 2 options for the strap linked. Just wanted to know which is the correct size for this watch? Thanks

Picked up a mechanical promaster for a little under 200 euros, the miyota does consistently between +4 to +8 per day, much more consistant and accurate than the 6r movement that cost over 1000 euros. Something that really makes me question if Seiko will ever make a mechanical watch that will appeal to me again, as I do care about accuracy, and its not just jewlery to me.

Says 8204-R014927 on the back, can't find name where ordered it. I think they updated the movement without changing the code of the watch from what I remember, still says 8203 on the dial, even if it has the updated movement, got mine last summer in Germany, so what movement you get depends on how old the stock is. @@rodolfotumbacoj.4937
About 400 dollars total including that rubber strap is allot of money for a watch without a smoother mechanical movement.Nevertheless a work of art when it comes to that dial which is justifiable for that reason alone imo.I also love the black n Gold citizen Promaster as well as their fully lumed titanium model.
