Today we’re looking at the Citizen Promaster Diver BN0220-16E made from Super Titanium or as I like to call it, The Retrozilla. When I first saw it I dismissed it as a weird and ugly watch however, the bizarre titanium case and bezel grew on me and it found its way into my collection as a birthday gift. This watch undoubtedly is not for everyone due to the size and design however, I’m here to say that you need to give this watch a chance because at the moment it just might end up being my favorite watch of 2022. So in this video, I’ll be looking at the awesome little details that make this watch so incredible, how this watch wears on the wrist and how it compares in size to other popular dive watches like the Seiko SKX and Tudor Pelagos, and finally I’ll talk about whether or not I think this watch is worth getting!
In a world of Rolex Submariner, Tudor Black Bay, and Omega Seamaster homages, Citizen has created a full fledged ISO certified dive watch that has a uniquely Citizen design aesthetic. On top of that, pretty much all the aspects of the watch have been carefully considered and designed which makes this watch punch way above its weight in terms of value. This is something that has unfortunately been lacking from many of Seiko’s new dive watches.
