I just bought this watch and I can't be more impressed with it. I'm a Diver, Kayaker, Sailor and Water Skier and the crown placement is perfect for wrist articulation. The bezel is mechanically precise, functional and aesthetically pleasing. It has a very robust yet elegant design that gives it tremendous wrist presence. The inky black dial, framed day-date window and the slight spark of red make it visually striking from a distance - mechanically rugged, slightly understated but incredibly handsome. Like a new world red zinfandel, it can be paired with pizza or filet mignon. A gentleman's watch for any occasion.

I have mine on a Joseph Bonnie grey tropic strap. The dial is like a lake of ink, very striking in real life. Great lume, everything aligns as it should, windable, hackable, and a lot more precise than the old skx or any new 4R36. It also wears quite a bit smaller than the nominal diameter. I couldn't be any happier with it.

I have a promaster diver automatic , serial number , 8203- 824393 HSF. GN-4-S C32850 Japan. Made in 1993. Works perfectly keeps time with my Tissot Visodate and my Stowa TO2. You need the tight bezel for acurate diving times. You don't want it moving while your diving. This watch was standard issue to British and Italian SF.

Execellent review, as always. Tomorrow will arrive my NY040. Already have an NY0080 full lume and a SKX. The only thing in what IMHO Seiko beats Citizen is in the use of white colour on the seconds hand that makes it more visible. Apart from that NY all way. Love the matching black window for day and date! Also prefer a 60 clics bezel...I can wait 30 seconds to mark the begining of my dive.

I have had two of these, the like dial and the black dial as in this review. They are both still fantastic after years of wear. The only negative I have had is I had a pretty big scratch on the lume dial one and replaced with a domed sapphire. (Had the same issue with my SKX which I also replaced with sapphire). I find the Miyota movement is much more accurate then the Seiko, plus hand winds. The watch doesn't look smaller on the wrist but wears much more comforatbly. Makes the SKX feel like a big lump.
