The CITIZEN Eco-Drive Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024-05E 2014 is a completely new model with a very high tech look that enables a professional diver to track and store the maximum depth reached during diving. Let me, now, speak, for a while, to those readers who are not familiar with the CITIZEN brand and its Promaster collection: it is an icon, above all the Aqualand, whose first model is a cult wristwatch and those models in the range which are equipped with a depth meter represent a relevant part of this collection which boasts already a couple of models, with a chrono function. Yours truly, after having seen it on display at the CITIZEN ‘s booth in Basel, has soon after ordered one and received it about a week ago. It has been previewed at Baselworld 2014 and we posted an article a couple of weeks ago. Not anymore! The Altichron has paved the way for others to come as the Promaster line up, following up that design trend welcome a new member: the CITIZEN Eco-Drive Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024-05E 2014. I was also “shocked” by the lack of any digital display on it: hour and, above all, functions visualization was fully analog and its dial was designed as a multi-layered one, so as to strongly remove from people’s mind what Japanese made timepieces are usually envisioned: digital, high quality products, technically outstanding, with a superior price to quality ratio, but, often times, with an unappealing aesthetics. When, on October 28 th, I reviewed for the 1 st time a CITIZEN Promaster (my personal Altichron 2013 of which you may read about HERE ) I highlighted that rather than the many functions I may have used a couple of times in all sincerity, what amazed me the most was and still is its forward design: it was undeniable that CITIZEN was about to overhaul the design of its sporty timepieces. Diving Cool! The CITIZEN Eco-Drive Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024-05E 2014 Live!
