I don't even go into any water deeper than my bathtub, and still I am attracted to this beautiful watch. Keep up the good work, Citizen, even if its coolest features, the depth guage and dive minder, have been replaced by dedicated dive computers.
Stunning watch, over 350 dives with no issues. Expensive to service. The Eco-drive is a superior model, tough as old boots, 15 yrs later still wearing as a go to daily :-) Has been in the North sea to the Caribbean and Med. Temp does not affect the accuracy or use. Depth memory is spot on
The only problem is batery duration if you use depth gauge… very intuitive , very precise, you forget the ascend alarm… you can see many special forces using it in a Lot pictures! If it was ecodrive…. They sell a lot more…. I have two , the new one has bezel action too soft . They new fancy ones are less intuitive with to much hands on the dial
The white minute hand is a real mistake. Orange contrasts great with blue and it is the most visible colour under water. Also I think this watch does not look nice on bracelet. Blue rubber will be a much better choice.

For the reissue, I opted for the lume dial.
Great review. They really need to make all models of this watch Eco-Drive with a backlit LCD screen.
And full super titanium

When I was on the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, I worked with a Navy salvage dive officer, and he wore this model of Citizen dive watch.
Thats really cool, I enjoyed researching this one!
Looks like a good one especially for a real diver
Lovely watch
i love it. it is my go to.
I think the original ones sported a 120-click bezel.
A proper dive tool, unlike typical dive-style Swiss watches.
Good Review .
Thanks!
I'd buy this over an Arnie anytime.
Idk I like the fact the Arnie is solar
@@MrBacchus18True, but this Citizen has proper dive features.
The Arnie is just an ana-digi dive-style watch.
Two differents models to have

Might want to fix that thumbnail.
Oh yep! Well spotted!
