Dive watches, by their very definition, need to be made to withstand some uncompromising conditions but that doesn’t mean to say they can’t look awesome while doing it. Enter the Citizen Promaster Aqualand Watch available to buy from the Worn & Wound WindUp Store – this visually vibrant offering is probably one of the coolest-looking dive watches you can get on your wrist for under $1000.
Priced at $550, the Citizen Promaster Aqualand Watch boasts a PVD-coated stainless steel case that measures 44mm wide (50.8mm including the pressure gauge), 47.7mm lug to lug, and 14.4mm thick. Its two most eye-catching features are the digital display at twelve o’clock for displaying additional information and the pressure gauge at nine o’clock – a must for those who are serious about their underwater adventures both big and small.
Citizen has been crafting superior dive watches and instruments since the 1960s, with their celebrated Aqualand dive watch line making its debut in 1985. This groundbreaking timepiece merged a digital display with a depth gauge, instantly becoming a sensation and establishing itself as the epitome of excellence in dive watches. A few years later, the Promaster line was introduced, which really showcased the pinnacle of Citizen’s sport-centric watches. The modern Citizen Promaster Aqualand remains a cult favourite, maintaining its technical prowess without compromise.
For this super-cool-looking dive watch from Citizen, the dial and hands, and bezel pip are fully lumed for maximum legibility in low light conditions, particularly underwater of course. The top-notch timepiece comes on a black polyurethane strap with an extension for comfort and diving. It is powered by the Citizen C520 quartz movement, which includes dual-time, alarm, and stopwatch capabilities. The depth gauge, in addition to tracking distance, can also trigger maximum dive time and maximum dive depth alarms. After a high-quality dive watch that doesn’t break the bank? You’ve just found it.
