The Citizen Promaster Dive Automatic is a robust 44mm round stainless steel watch designed for underwater adventures. It features a black analog dial with luminous alpha hands and markers, a day/date indicator, and a serrated black aluminum bezel. Powered by an automatic mechanical movement (Caliber 8204), this timepiece is secured by a black polyurethane strap with a buckle closure and offers 200m water resistance, making it suitable for professional diving.
