Hands on with the new Citizen Promaster diver. The 'Fujitsubo' Black Super Titanium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Citizen launched a new Titanium blacked out Promaster dive watch. The NB6025-59H “Black Fujitsubo” , with Super Titanium Duratect DLC coating.
It takes all the elements that made the relaunch of the promaster series so popular and gives it a DLC treatment. I got hands on with one and I'll look at the similarities with my 1977 challenge diver NB6021 reissue.

I have the black dial version. Only con I have is bezel action, and the shiny finish. Other,than that it is Diver perfection for this price range.
Yeah. Could improve with the grip
Love the video and I will definitely make sure to check out these in the future. They just look great.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Superb video Tom! And what a stunning piece this is too, thanks for sharing and educating this n00b 🖤🙏🏻
Secret : I had to Google barnacle too. Thx for checking in Ryan
This puts Seiko to shame. This is all titanium, but not just any old titanium, it's got a hardened surface treatment; it's also highly anti-magnetic; and it has a quick-adjust/diver's extension clasp for the bracelet option. Not to mention the higher beat movement. All for sub $1000. That's value right there. Meanwhile all you can get for that is a Seiko SPB and it's even over $1000 that has none of the above. The only thing a Seiko bests this Barnacle is the bi-directional rotor winding but that's almost inconsequential.
See. Now we have a contest
And the bezel aligns
Still a boring dial, pity citizen didn’t have this case, bezel and movement on the four NY0120 models, those dials are fantastic up close and personal. Plus a lot of people are saying the titanium scratches pretty easily, cool name for it though. Hell the case could even be stainless just the same dimensions and I,d have my wallet out.
Loving the dark grey on this one. It looke like it can shift its color depth depending on the lighting. This one seems like a true chameleon that can go from the beach and flip flops on Sunday into a suit & tie office meeting on Monday. Great presentation video, well done.
Thank you 🙏
Very cool looking piece. I still own a Citizen and love it.
Great value aren’t they ?!
Pirchased it on march 2024
BEST WATCH EVER
TOTALLY RECOMMEND

I love the weight of some of my luxury watches, but I love titanium from Citizen and GShock. Citizen generally does it right and at a great price!
Agreed. Really been enjoying some lighter pieces lately
Great Video Tom 🎥🎞️ Citizen produced a winner here 🙌🏽👍🏽😎 The Titanium and Stealth look 🖤💣 just adds to its Big Boy Diver Look‼️ Excellent Review.
I’m still on team black reissue but that is just a personal preference. Great to see more options
Its beautiful, it's my new grail watch and I want to try one on now.
Hope you get one soon !
I have the blue one and it’s fantastic!
Looks fantastic too
I love watches with a story, great, best, review,... bought... to take a closer look..
I sometimes do the same. Just to review 🫣
I love this watch i have one in my collection the citizen nb6021-17e classic look, 4hz movement sapphire glass titanium case 👌 🔥
They are so much fun
great review,my next collection to be
thanks Good choice!
It's great looking classic diver watch and titanium does the trick for me. My only Seiko that compares favorably (in accuracy and good looks) is my Marinemaster, but it's as heavy as truck... I love he 9051 movement, anti-magnetic, thin and precise (+1 sec/24h on my watch). At that price and quality level, the Fujitsubo is a no brainer, honestly.
I agree on this one. Especially the black / rubber combo
Great video !
Thx Wei
Would love an SPB143 shootout!
Can I bring the pelagos to the fight ? #plans
@@BowlOfSalmonReading my minds!
Ive got one of these with the blue bezel. Full titanium is soo light and comfortable on wrist . Its worn loose but its not annoying . The accuracy when worn is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. worn 5 days so far working as a mechanic so its not babied and its gained just THREE seconds. Rolex / grand seiko spring drive level of accuracy for a fraction of the price!
agreed amazing bang for buck these .. love the blue !
I am a noob and curious how do you know that it runs three plus? Because you adjust it perfectly and notice after a few days that the seconds do not match?
@@Watchmyarm indeed. there is an app for that. Or just Sync with time.is and check after a few days
It’s worn loose? You mean loose on your wrist or something on it has worn loose?
Beautiful video....
Many thanks!🙏
Citizen Fijutsibo NB6021-17E ......... inspired by the CITIZEN 52-0110 Challenge 150M Diver found on an Australian beach, ... BUT actually is a re-issue of their CITIZEN 62-6198 "Challenge 150m Diver
Good research. I’m terrible with refs 🙄
But… isn’t the REAL challenge diver NOT the 52-0110 ref? Which is why the bezel indices don’t go all around like on my ‘78 52-0110?
the watch that was found on the beach was a 1977 CITIZEN 52-0110 Challenge 150M Diver with the bezel that has indices that goes all around the bezel, the Citizen 62-6198 Challenge 150M diver from 1976 has the bezel with the indices that stop at 3 o'clock marker @@Hialeah1925
@@Hialeah1925 the 1976 CITIZEN 62-6198 "Challenge 150m Diver has a bezel whose indices STOP at the 3 o'clock position, the watch that was found on the beach in 1983 is a CITIZEN 52-0110 Challenge 150M diver `from 1977 whose bezel insert has indices that goes round back to the 12 o'clock position
That watch is so cool! What nato was on the other one?
Just a grey nato. Bark and Jack tubular I think.
Does the DLC coating help the poor besel action in the raw titanium model?
the bezel action & grip are the same
Where is the black strap from on the nb6021?
Meraud watches sells great rubber straps
Citizen is underrated. But hey, don’t tell them, they’ll jack up the prices just like Seiko did!
Maybe they are smart and stay there. Great value for money indeed
I would like a more sharp coin bezel
That bit more grip wouldn’t hurt
Absolutely, the grip is one of my main complaints, it's very hard to grip naturally, and even harder when your fingers are wet.
Aluminum bezel? For that price point should have been ceramic esp for a divers watch
Have you seen other watches that are 2k plus and still have aluminum bezels?
@@thomasnguyen5295 yeahcand those are ridiculous lol
Some great vintage Rolex
I'm buying the black one, but I'm not excited about the polished coin edge.
Yeah … good thing perfect doesn’t exist or we would need to stop at one ;)
I bet if you whipped off that bezel and bent the spring tabs up you'd get a much better action.
You try … 😂
@@BowlOfSalmon I do it all the time. Easy.
Wrist size?
Because you asked nicely … 165mm
it's the same watch with coating, but they charging 50% more, citizen needs to get their pricing right
crazy coating
This is a weird collection, I’m really tempted with the black version but they forgot to include a bracelet. I like this dial but I’m really not a fan of black metal.
Go with the blue ?! 😂
@@BowlOfSalmon but black dials look so much better
Me quedo con el 6021....
That is a lot of watches
That beveled edge of the crystal was annoying to clean. I kept seeing dust, lint, etc. enhanced by the dark dial. If that had a slightly domed or flat crystal then it would have been a keeper.
Right. True that 😂
Look like a mixture of submariner and 62mas 😂
glad you had your daily fix
Very boring watch yawn
constructive feedback. prefer the blue ?
Great review, thanks. I must make a trip to the big city and try these on.
Then just move on to another video and STFU.
eco drive please
