I recently got this divers watch from Citizen. It is an automatic with a dive rating of 200m. It has a yellow luminous dial and comes with a rubber strap. The suggested retail price is RM1,260 but I was able to get it via the internet for just RM499.



Its a 42 mm size watch. Therefore wearing it is not difficult. It is also not as thick as other dive watches of similar specification.



The crown is on the left at the 8 o'clock position of the stainless steel case. It is a screw down crown. Approximate case diameter is 42 mm (without the crown) and 13 mm thick. It has a smooth steel finish with looks nice and the bezel has nice grip to it. The watch face is scratch resistant mineral glass and comes with the Citizen Movement 8203. It comes with both date and day display at the 3 o'clock position.

Meanwhile, the bezel rotates unidirectionally.



Total weight is approximately 96g.

Below is the suggested exposure time to depth that is provided standard with the rubber strap by Citizen.





I like the dial as it is very bright and one can easily read the time on the watch even in pitch darkness.



The picture below is the watch on my own wrist.



I find the Citizen's crown to be much easier to manipulate. It is easier to catch the screw when screwing down the crown.

Bergkamp10,

A watch maker in disguise,

A football brain equivalent to the making of a timepiece
