Promaster Dive
Command the sea in style with the new Promaster Dive. This iconic Citizen men’s dive watch is the latest addition to the Promaster Sea collection with a strikingly original design inspired by the majestic Orca whale. The sporty and functional dive timepiece features a silver-tone stainless steel case accented by a blue three-hand dial and date with elliptical white hour indices and bezel indentations that evoke the shapes of the orca, plus pops of color at the 12 o’clock marker and minute hand. This ISO-compliant dive watch also features anti-magnetic and anti-shock resistance, a one-way rotating elapsed-time bezel, and luminous hands and markers filled with a superior lume for legibility. The blue polyurethane strap mimics the form of the orca’s fin and fastens with a buckle, and the watch is water resistant up to 200 meters with a screw-down crown, making it a perfect companion on your next dive. Sustainably powered by any light with Eco-Drive technology that never needs a battery, this is the ultimate dive watch to own and comes in a unique scuba tank-inspired box for the serious diver and collector.

Reviews
Very happy with watch. The watch is currently on a windowsill, getting full sun. The Lume is insane. I understand this watch is not for everyone, yet I love it. Me being older, a chunky watch is good, yes I do wish the date window was larger, I wish I could locate a metal braclet for it. If your wrist is 10" or smaller, the current strap will fit, I works great for wearing a wetsuit. This is my everyday beater watch. I have no complaints regarding crystal type, they have pros and cons. I look forward to passing this watch down to my grandson.
I own both of the Original Orca citizen released years ago. I was very excited to see they were re-releasing them. I bought the "blue" version and it's stunning. I wish they were titanium like the original but the new ones have a lovely case back where the original were plain so I guess you give and take. The band is perfect. It's not too flimsy nor is it too stiff. The lume is incredible as all Citizen Dive Watches. This is a WONDERFUL addition to my collection.

I recently purchased an Orca and absolute love it. It wears very comfortably just looks great on the wrist. Robust, well made, and offers Eco Drive technology, its Ilan overall great watch for the price point. It is unlike anything else in my collection which gives it a “cool” factor. This is my first Citizen and I adore it.
I believe this watch is a remake of a model that Citizen had done in the past. It has the unique "Orca" shaped hour markers which are very cool. As I was unable to obtain the older model, I was extremely happy to be able to get this one, new. I love the design!! It looks fantastic. The caseback design is very cool. The hands are large and the watch is VERY legible, at a glance. It's also very comfortable on the strap, and the strap is long enough to accommodate up to or close to a 9-inch wrist. It has VERY good lume (bright and long-lasting), Citizen did a great job there. And IMO, it's the perfect size for a man's dive watch. The watch is not perfect though, and IMO there are 3 areas that could be improved. (if I'm being picky) One, it would be great to see a sapphire crystal on a watch of this price. Two, the date window is slightly too small. The date cannot be seen easily, unlike on some other divers without a date magnification. Three, IMO the crown should be much larger and tougher feeling (and looking). As it is, it's a somewhat small crown for the size of this watch. Those are not deal breakers though, and I still like the watch very much. Was very happy to get it!! I enjoy wearing this watch and have been wearing it daily since I got it.

Great watch for a big wrist
This is a great watch for a man with a large wrist.
The Most Unique Diver You'll Find
The "Orca" by no means is a small watch, but it is engineered in such a way that it's wearable even for those of us that may not have big wrists. The strap is supple and highly breathable, and there's no sense of having to "break it in." We're not talking cheap resin here. I would encourage anyone to try out the polyurethane option over the steel bracelet; this is a "pure" diving watch that has the rubber integrated extremely well. Lume is perhaps the star of the show, a breathtaking part of the watch which has to be seen to be believed. To date, I've not had a watch that impresses me quite as much as this one, especially after being outdoors and coming inside to a darker room. Lastly, the dial. To me, this is the most unique looking diver on the market. I don't particularly find most divers compelling, but this is a special-looking watch. The way the gradient blues sort of play with light due to the watch's ever-so-slightly domed crystal makes for a dazzling display. So, the Orca is a bit of a no-brainer. Since purchasing it close to a year ago, I find myself constantly grabbing it. There's a certain toughness and surety to it that makes you feel confident that it can handle literally anything you could throw at it. I've not seen scratches or dents or cracks since owning it, and it's been beachside, in the woods, moving scrap, etc. It is an undeniably heavy watch, weighing in at over 120 grams; however, I think the weight is a part of the overall package here. Look, Citizen, if you're reading this: you've got me as a customer. Ten years from now or so, re-release the Orca again in titanium, and I'll be a day-one buyer. The Orca has quite effectively ruined all other divers for me. This is my one.
Outstanding and sharp looking watch instrument.
Great watch. My second one. Both have been for diving. After 20 years the first wouldn’t hold a charge. I no longer dive. At my age and physical limitations I still want to display my display my SCUBA ethos. I especially like the aesthetics of this instrument. My only complaint is with my inability to register the warranty. Can’t find a phone number register. Could you please supply.
Citizen hits a homerun
A great looking watch, and very comfortable to wear. The large markers make it easy to read. Great lume.
The Orca!

Good watch
I do long distance swimming and I wanted a solar powered watch. I did not want plastic. Months ago I bought a Nautica, I returned it because it had a faulty stem. The Citizen watch is truly a better manufactured watch. It’s not very heavy. I wish the date was a little bigger, but otherwise it is perfect for my needs. Very stylish also.
Promaster Dive Orca
What a great time piece. Super happy with it. I have 24 watches and this is my second Citizen. They have come a long way and I have my eye out for more of them.
Beautiful and functional
Great watch - bright at night and lightweight. Looks great in the sun and not too flashy but still cool looking.
Fantastic Design!!
Fantastic Design plus the reliable Eco drive engine. Wish, it would have a metal band option...
Citizen Orca , blue
Gorgeous watch , keeps perfect time . Very comfortable , good lume . Easy to set . The only negative is the strap is the longest strap in history . You could wrap this around an oak tree . Other then that a fabulous watch !
