Citizen Promaster Wave Tracker JV3006-50L

This is the watch

An advanced sailing watch with a blue ana-digi dial, analog hands, and a high-resolution MIP display. The rotating bezel features directional and angle markings for sailing, while color-coded fields around the dial distinguish starboard from port. The Wave Tracker JV3006-50L is part of the Promaster Marine collection and is developed for racing and marine activities, with Race Mode and a Tide Graph as core tools.

Materials & fit

The case and bracelet are crafted from stainless steel, and the case is 13.9 mm thick. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal reduces distracting light reflections over the information-rich dial. The case back is screw-down. The bracelet consists of solid links and closes with a deployment clasp featuring dual push-buttons. Silver-colored steel surfaces surround the blue dial and the blue-black scale on the bezel.
