Citizen Promaster Dive (You Know the One) Gets Full Lume Dial
I haven?t been shy about sharing my adoration for this particular Promaster Dive watch from Citizen. Zach Kazan and I wrote about our impressions as owners of the same variant of this watch, with a perfectly unsubtle blue camo dial, and it?s a watch we both come back to often. To me, Citizen is at their best when they lean into the slightly strange, and they?ve got a number of designs that qualify, including these wonderful Ecozilla ?ashtray? watches recently released. If camo isn?t quite your thing (I don?t blame you), their latest take on this platform might be right up your alley. And if you are into camo, you?ll probably still like it as well. The latest Promaster Dive uses the same fabulous gunmetal titanium case, but pairs it with a full lume dial and a bright orange minute hand.Â
Lume dials are a tricky thing to pull off properly, but here it feels like a totally natural extension of the design of this watch. It feels right at home. The camo execution was funky enough to jive with the unusual case design, but the full lume feels like a more practical solution to bring a unique level of clarity and contrast to the watch as a whole. It takes a near novelty level watch to a supremely practical level of watch.
Like the Aqualand JP2007-17W, the lume dial here is a light creamy green color that jumps off the black backdrop of the case and bezel. The hour plots are filled with lume of nearly the same color, but appear a bit brighter after a flash of light is app...
