Citizen Promaster BN0225-04L

About the Watch

The lugless silhouette and the four crown guards around the bezel give the model an unusually angular Promaster profile. The deep blue dial's dot pattern is inspired by the whale shark's markings, while large luminous hands and indices create a clear contrast against the background. The shape draws inspiration from Citizen's Professional Diver from 1982 but gains its own identity through the blue color scheme and the robust black frame.

Materials & Fit

The case is made of Super Titanium and has a diameter of 45.8 mm, a thickness of 14.3 mm, and a weight of 90 grams. The black surface is sandblasted and treated with Duratect MRK and DLC. Mineral glass protects the dial. The black strap is made of polyurethane and fastens with a pin buckle. The lugless construction allows the strap to connect directly beneath the wide case's four protruding bezel guards.
