Introducing the Citizen Promaster Diving Watch, the BN0194-57E

There are lots of watches out there that are water resistant, but only a few are certified and meet ISO Specifications. Lucky for you, the Promaster series is one of them. Whether you like surfing, or work on a ship/ferry, the BN0194-57E is not only tough, but looks good. Let me tell you a little bit about some of the features. Ready? Here We Go!

First up, this model is entirely stainless steel, from case, to band and bezel. Said band is a mix of silver and gold, while the bezel is black and gold. The hands and hour markers are white and gold, as well as very thick, which makes them easily seen on the black display.

Apart from the case, the watch has a gold screw lock crown, with the bezel itself looking like the gears on a clock. Altogether, the watch looks really impressive on your wrist, even without getting into some of the special features.

Now, as mentioned, the watch is a certified diving watch. This means it's able to withstand up to 200m of water pressure. If you're swimming in the ocean, you might be worrying about the seawater, but the stainless steel case and bracelet are durable enough to prevent any corrosive damage, so your watch will function perfectly.

The bezel itself also serves a function apart from looking good. Before starting a dive, you can rotate the bezel so the 12 o'clock position is in sync with the time that you submerge yourself. This way, when you're underwater, you'll know exactly how long you've been swimming, and when to start making your way back in order to make sure you don't run out of oxygen!

The screw lock crown mentioned earlier, also serves an important function. You need to make sure it's screwed in shut before you dive in, because it keeps the water from getting into the gears. So no fiddling with it when you're down there!

Apart from being a diving watch, the BN0194-57E is also an Eco-Drive, which means it will keep running for up to 180 days before you need to charge it up. Charging it is very simple too - just expose it to light (whether sunlight or electrical). You'll have plenty of warning though, since the second hand will start skipping seconds when it's close to low battery power.
