Really nice watch super lightweight and keeps fantastic time gaining a couple seconds a day seems like it is cosc time
my headline statement is significant because 23 yrs ago i purchased a new R**** submariner which i eventually sold. clearly milsubs are my favorite type of watch, and not only does Citizen return to its 1960s diver roots with this piece, with a hi-beat movement that's equal to any of the Swiss engines, they've added something the R**** sub never had and still doesn't: an incredibly scratch-resistance hardened titanium case. the design and build is a milsub masterpiece, extremely thin for an auto, impeccable 60s-70s diver styling (no crown guards yay!) and a 60click unidirectional bezel that is spot on with no play, something top military watches have. despite my many Swiss divers, and the former submariner purchase, i'd not only rate this as the best in my collection now, but ever purchased. for me it is the 'grail' watch all watch guys speak of.
I am so happy they have come out with this design. It seems like a great addition to the pro master dive line up, and looks very elegant. Please send me one so I can make sure this claim is true!
Have really loved this watch. Sizing it spot on, classic styling, and the titanium is a great choice for the reissue. I like the strap. It's pliable, matches the case structure, and overall it fits me really well. Could be slightly shorter but it's not a deal breaker for me at all. The color matched date wheel (silver) is excellent attention to detail. The bezel has a nice quiet action. Light and responsive. I'm not crazy about the polished tone of the bezel. Like the aluminum insert. The crystal chamfer is a really nice touch. To Citizen: to make this hit so much harder I would improve the following 1. AR coating on the underside of the crystal. The way the crystal is cut and the smaller dial dimensions it would greatly add to the legibility of the watch. 2. Increase the crown sizing by 2-3mm. It is anemic as it stands. That's it. A bigger crown, AR coating, shorter strap, and you have an amazing watch! Keep up the good work. I'll continue to wear this regardless of the slight niggles.
