- For the week we have on the menu the Citizen Promaster Dive Super Titanium NB6021-17E, a super accurate reissue made by Citizen an exciting diver on the wrist.
I bought it recently and I am super happy with it, I am wearing it since than and I was looking forward to share it with you!
Hope you like the review,
Andrei.
Have been wearing mine for a month now, what a watch, there is nothing I would change. 4 hertz and running at +6 seconds a day, absolute Seiko killer.
I had this watch in the 1980ies,and it was Ultra solid and it still runs today
Pirchased it on march 2024
BEST WATCH EVER
TOTALLY RECOMMEND
I’m still so impressed by your presentational skills, both with the writing and how you showcase each shots. Particularly love the touch with the spray bottle👍
how much did he pay you?
@@litan114 cynicism is not attractive dude, especially when it's completely unwarranted
haha, paid audience. :))))
Thank you very much, I appreciate your words :) it's an extra effort, But I think the result Is cool, and if people enjoy it, I am satisfied as well. Cheers! More effort for the next ones, I guess :)
I really like that Citizen puts long silicone bracelets on their diving watches, because I have a wide wrist and I have a problem when I buy a watch that doesn't have a bracelet long enough for my wide wrist. Citizen, congratulations on that solution. Well done.💪💪💪
Every Citizen I own I have bought on a cruise ship. I've received compliments on them all! They're not bad. Great review!
I think this video was the reason I bought the NB6021-17E, and I must say, it's really a beautiful watch. I've had mine for about a year, bought a bunch of 20mm straps, it's really a great watch for many reasons
If this were a Seiko, it would cost $2,000.
Hahah. True!
Mmmmm.. why is that?
broke
Well the sb143 is basically the same watch only not titanium and it's 800
And it would be ten times better.
This is probably an unpopular opinion - but imo Citizen is churning out better quality watches than Seiko currently ... everything is set correctly (i.e. bezel alignment) - the movements imo are on point - where i feel Seiko's nowadays are just cheaply slapped together with very poor QC.
This is by far the most detailed and appreciated review on this watch! I also couldn’t believe the level of refinement in the video. Definitely won my sub.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Great looking diver. Citizen gets it. Cheers!
Yes :D I love it!
I am astounded by the atheistic format of your reviews! Damn, I thought I was a little creative but every time I watch one of your reviews, your stap combination together with the photography are truly seminal.
I’ve always liked this diver. But the crown doesn’t fit the watch. It’s just too small. I also don’t know why Citizen insist on such a small date window. Every time I buy one, I have to add magnification windows. Every time! But this diver looks amazing. And Citizen and Seiko get more wears from me than my Omega’s or Longines. They just work! Nice review…thanks for doing it.
Great watch. I own the same one and just picked up a vintage version 52-0010. My only recommendation to Citizen that would have put this re-creation over the top but would be a 7mm crown, fully graduated bezel, insert, and red text on the date wheel similar to the vintage diver.
..... thank you for such an excellent and well rounded look at and review of this watch , it convinced me to finally get one ...... and today the 26th June 2024 mine arrived in the post ...... and all I can say is WOW ! ......... pure perfection ..........
I own this watch and I am wearing it es my dayli beater he was out of box +6 seconds a day, after fine tuning has accuracy of - 1 min a month I am more than satisfied I own few watches some of them are 3-4 time more expensive swiss made and I can't get them so accurate. I used to hate miyota hahaha cheep junk but deliver something it is something like toyota. Buy the way I have purchased Mido after your review that was very honest review I am very grateful, keep doing what you do good job ♥️
Glad to hear that you enjoy it. The 9 series movement is pretty good accuracy wise. As for the Ocean Star, solid good looking watch, I am glad you like it as well :)
Cheers!
Great photography of a nice vintage diver.
Thank you :)
Last week I was having a watch conversation with a guy who doesn't really like watches. He was wearing a Seconda. He does, however, like sailing and routinely takes his boat from England to the Med. He asked advice on buying a tough, no nonsense watch that he could wear while doing all the sailor stuff you do while dodging Orcas in the Bay of Biscay. I went to the Seiko Turtle or Captain Willard as good choices. Tough, no nonsense watches that would do the job he wanted. The guy has Rolex money, but just isn't bothered.
Having seen this and the barnacles, I'm going to have to show it to him as an alternative. Bloody Barnacles !!
Haha! Great story! :)))
recently there was discovered a Rolex submariner covered in barnacles, in Australia, in the same place as the Citizen model. so there are options for the guy :))
Got one too. Glad you see what I saw in it. My first Citizen,never interested in the brand until now. Great video. Thanks
haha, enjoy it Rob! Super purchase!
Just ordered mine based on your review. 🤘
Gorgeous watch, and a much more accurate reissue of their historic dive watch than Seiko did with the 62Mas reissue when they released the SLA017 or even SPB143. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the hands. If they would have used the same hands of the Parawater in this watch, I'd pounce.
Thank you for covering this watch! It really has all that is needed and nothing more. That really appeals to me.
Ok, you've just melted my brain, I knew nothing about the parawater, the 62mas was a homage! Unbelievable Jeff!
haha! It was new for me as well :)
@@BraveBeaters I've also just been pointed towards the First Blancpain Bathyscaphe model from 1956, I can't post a link here, but check an article by 'swisswatches magazine'
It's a beautiful watch from Citizen, I really like the Citizen brand. Their "The Citizen" and "Chronomaster" series are amazinggggg. The EcoDrive line is also great on the more affordable side, much better than anything under 1k.
I'm wearing this right now. The only thing that detracts from it (IMO) is the noisy rotor, which is amplified if you put the watch on a NATO strap. Other than that, it's superb. It keeps better time than the Seiko SPB153, which I also have, and which costs twice the price. I'd say it's on par with my Tudor Black Bay 58, which it very vaguely resembles. I love it.
How loud is it? is the Tudor quieter? I don't like noisy watches
@@Tendertroll1 The Citizen is quite noisy, especially when on a NATO strap, for example. If you don't like loud watches, you'll find that an issue. By contrast, The Tudor is exceptionally quiet. I don't think I've ever heard the rotor once. For what it's worth, I also have an Omega Seamaster, and the Tudor is on par with that in terms of both timekeeping and how quiet the rotor/ticking is.
@@paull3466 ok thank you 🙏
Totally agree with all of your points. I've been looking for a dive watch and this one came across and it ticks all of the right boxes. Can see it become a future classic. Nice video and presentation btw 👌🏼
Love it! A classic
CHEERS! :)
Looks so good. Your macro shots are terrific. I only have one Citizen but have enjoyed it for many years. As a fan of titanium I will need to give this one a serious look.
Thank you David! Yes, it is worth scanning one / for one :)
I have the dime-a-dozen BN0150, but it's a rock-solid watch and reliable. Definintely on my short list of watches I would take with me during the zombie apocalypse.
Another great video! Have been eying this Beauty! Ready to pull trigger !
Love it when you wore it with the thick glove , it’s an awesome looking watch and good quality. Personally I only have a two tone Daytona copy which is a Eco Drive model but I simply love it. I don’t have any itch to buy a new dive watch my Tudor Bronze 2019 grey fulfills that role admirably. Thank you for another top notch video Sir.
haha! Thank you very much :) I think that bronze BB has an awesome patina by now! As for the citizens, super honest watches!
Very cool! I’ve been waiting for the Pelagos 39 to become available by me, but maybe this will scratch that itch in the meantime. I’m really interested to see this Citizen on some other strap options as well.
Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have fe wgreat Titanium pieces in my collection..
My watchmaker is just servicing my original from the seventies , but with such an old watch , it is better not to use it in water anymore .For diving , the new is the better choice !
Thanks for the video (really nice pictures and videos of the watch and I find your commentary easy to understand). I own this watch too and I have it on a green "ridge" NATO strap - it looks amazing!
Cheers, Christopher! Thank you for your kind words. I have to try it on natos as well :)
saw this video, bought the watch. After delivery and a dip in the ocean I immediately went online and bought a second one. Both watches for under $500.00 from a reputable AR. So far both are running within 6 seconds of each other and about 7 to 11 seconds fast per day. A Titanium automatic dive watch for $477.00, definitely the best dive watch under $500.00 you can buy in 2024. And possibly a better watch than the competition costing hundreds if not thousands more.
Almost perfect!
The only reason i didnt get it is because i want a jdm titanium solar citizen diver..
Thank you for the review, this one is very underrated, As most of citizens..
Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have fe wgreat Tita👍nium pieces in my collection..
Cheers, Ricardo! :)
Love it so much
I have one of these. I ordered a bracelet for it from Citizen in the UK and it's a very satisfying watch on the bracelet, really elavates it and looks great in all monochrome. I wear it with pride and have owned more expensive diver's watches, but prefer the Citizen as it just seems to hit the sweet spot in every aspect.
Really? You can order it separately? I need to do that :)
Did you order the bracelet separately?
@@theroninwrist12 Yes, from Citizen UK after filling out an enquiry on their website. The part wasn't in stock and it took months, but I did manage to get one. Someone else on a watch forum, however managed to order one from Citizen US straight away.
@@antonylaing2499 awesome! I’m 100% going to look into that! Thank you!
Excellent review, as usual, of an interesting watch, great photography too.
Very undestated and purposeful looking watch but priced a little too expensive for my tastes.
A 200m Steinhart diver costs less and has great specs and finish.
My favourite dive watch is the Edox Skydiver 70s which can be bought for a few hundred more than this Citizen and is arguably much more watch for the money.
Great review of a great watch for real divers and affordable price. So much so I bought the blue Fugitsubo on the strength of your review. This is the first watch that I have bought in three years!!! Can't wait to get it on wrist.
I'm just feeding the algorithm for you. It's a neat looking watch too !
Hahaha! Cheers, Eric!
That’s the one. Love it❤
Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have few Tita👍nium pieces in my collection..
First rate photography and art Direction. This is a winner. I’m wondering if they would ever drop there eco-drive movement in this. I have ordered the black one anyhow.
Cheers, Dan! :) I think they will keep it in this form, I guess It depends if the model will have success. Let me know how it feels when you receive it!
Casio and Citizen is all I own, with the exception of a Spaghetti Scameti, I just couldn’t resist haha.
This is my grail watch, I’d happily wear this for the next 10 years while slowly saving for a Rolex Submariner. I’d definitely still wear my Casio Duro with Island Watch bracelet though.
Nice looking watch...
PS I acquired a Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer, the black version. Maybe this Citizen next year ;)
Great Review:) Seems to me that every professional diver I have met wears a Citizen, that is, if they wear a watch at all when diving!
Haha. True :)
Very tempted to get this exact model. Went to the AD again 2 days ago to touch and try on my wrist again.
Haven’t able to overcome the small crown for me to bag it home.
Agree, the crown is ... strange :D
Your production quality is 👌
Love this, perfect proportions, perfect style, do I need another diver? I think so. Cheers
OFC , Andrew, there is always a good reason to get just one more diver :D
Couldn‘t agree more, great watch !!!
I wish there was also an Eco-Drive model as this movement would complete my collection 😊
Citizen...very cool divers watch...
Its affordable and durable watch...👍
Big like...
Lovely watch and great review. I have a Citizen titanium watch from the 1990’s, just bought two Certinas (following your reviews) so tempted by this for the price👌
Cheers Brian! 90's citizens are pure gold now! keep it and enjoy it! :)
As for the Certinas, more icons are coming up on the channel :D
Beautiful watch!
Thanks for wonderful video
Cheers! :)
Great review as always this one stands out from the crowd to me , understated and classy , I'm very tempted 😊
Citizen is often overlooked
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻, but i have seen some other reviewers that are not speaking that well about the quality feel, more as a ”toyisch” feel.. design Wise its top ⭐️⭐️⭐️..
Haha, I mentioned as well in the video, Gino, not everybody is excited.
And yes, it feels.like a toy at 70 grams :) the matrerial alloy is different as well. I may call it exotic :D
Very handsome watch, good job Citizen!
Planning on buying a watch and so far this meets are the criteria that I looking on a great buy.
This looks better than majority of seikos dive watch lineup lol maybe even all of them
Love mine!
Great review, looks very nice! I have an older Pro Master and while I like the looks it just does not get the wrist time it deserves.
A simple yet beautiful design .
Stunning!
Great review, love citizen brings back good memories. i bought the Citizen Promaster JP2007-17X Diver. Underrated watch but i LOVE it hope you get to check one out!
Uuuuu! That's a beauty! I want ti grab myself the all lumed dial aqualand
Fantastic review of a gorgeous diver. I would’ve gone with the blue (if only for the homage factor). I do wish they’d kept the original size though…..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this watch BB. I love the monochrome look, the clarity and from my experience Citizen has so far been a reliable and well made watch brand at a decent price. Although my experience has been with the Eco-Drive movements my Citizen watches have been faultless for nearly a decade. I've not added another Citizen watch to my collection in around 8 years. I might just have to have a look at this automatic model when I'm next at the AD as I don't have a Citizen diver. If I can justify it I might just make a purchase, we shall see.
Brilliant review man
I'm sold!
Reminds me of the Seiko SPB143
Great review, I am big fan of the Promaster, and this one is definitely an upgrade 👍🏽
Excellent presentation and footage as usual
Yeay ive bought it 1 mo ago bro, its super fascinating watch
I really want one of these, blue, black or the grey
It's amazing how good looking a lot of vintage Citizen watches, they just don't connect with the new models.
Amazing review. Thank you!
It's nice to watch a posvideo about this watch, most I've seen are pretty ambivalent and say its inferior to Seiko blah blah. Well done, Citizen deserve some credit.
I buy one last month !! 750$ (NB 6021 - 68 L ) i love it. But i own also NY 0129 - 58 L 3 times cheaper and its closer of original 1977 challenge diver ! ( steel... basic 3hz mov... big crown...doomed gass.. bezel with points on each minute..mercedes hand like fujitsubo... ,) of course FUJITSUBO TITANIUM IS BETTER !! BUT ITS A TRUE PREMIUM WATCH WITH A SAPPHIRE AND A 4 HERTZ HEATHBEAT...
Nice watch. Nice review. Subscribed!
I own quite a few seikos, orients and Citizens. The promasters offer great value compared to seiko. I like that they are the uncool underdog, unaffected by some of the hype surrounding other brands. This challenge diver is definitely on my wish list.
I think that my dad had one of these or very similar when I was kid I think was 150m 👍
Yes :) that was the skin diver standard. super cool memory
Awesome review tbh. 👌
Jak ja się cieszę ze znalazłem kanał o zegarka który prowadzi Normalny Europejczyk a nie Azjata Lub Anglosas …Salut my friend 🤣👍❤️🔥🇵🇱👏👏✌️
Nice watch I' d like to buy it if it were a limited edition sub 500 pieces!!
Looks nice
Top notch video as per usual! And the watch looks good. Not a super fan of Citizen though.
Thank you Lars, I wasn't either but... I am now :D Cheers!
It's a really good looking watch. A shame they don't make it with Eco-Drive too.
that can be a good option as well, with a bracelet too :)
The Eco Drive if I am not wrong needs to be serviced faster and costlier than automatics. Very respectfully..
Beautiful watch but I would have love blue lume iso the green lume.
great review. subscribed
Some things give me pause. I'd like it to be sharper, and the bezel sounds like it's not fantastic.
For me, this would be a big purchase.
I need to find one in a shop and try it on.
But I think I respect Citizen dive watches even more than Seiko
Just get a promaster eco drive titanium. No need for mechanical. Either way it's 200m only. They should have make this one 300m to differentiate this line for doubling the price.
Citizen is a cool brand. An underdog. Always in the shadow of Seiko. For similar reason why Orient is in the shadow of Citizen :) I like Promasters. I love Aqualands. Can’t wait to see more citizens on your channel. I have one question: how come you ended up classifying this diver in position 43? Who is on 42? :) thanks for the great review and entertaining content. Much appreciated!
haha! It's not a top, just a list, 42 was last time the hami mechanical, I will make a video to celebrate 50 bb on the channel :D
I love your presentation very informative.
I just bought the exact watch after watching your video , it annoys me that Case in CHINA on the case back , some other same model is not written Case in China , could you please tell me the difference?
Something is wrong. The bezel markers at 15 and 45 minutes seem not centred on the 3 o'clock and 9 o' clock on the dial, and also all other markers seem affected except 6 and 12 o'clock.
Nice diver. The only thing I do not like is the lumed index at 3. It is a little bit off set compared to other indexes and it bothers me a lot. Seiko does that too. Do not know why.
I prefer to have it as a landmark and symmetry :) But I understand what you say. Cheers! :)
I think it's do with the ISO certification.
if it were a stainless steel with an H link bracelet then it would have been a proper reissue.
Agree!
nice watch :)
if u had to choose between this one and certina ds action 38mm?
considering these 2 i like the citizen look better but think the movement and overall quality is better in certina
Yup, I agree! Certina all the way :)
will go for the certina with blue dial prolly also suit me better as i have a small wrist
thx for yr reply and have a great day :)
A question for you watch experts--I have a great Citizen Eco Drive Promaster Diver BN0150-10E. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned. But I've been thinking of "upgrading" to an automatic and I love the looks of this Fujitsubo. But I think the daily accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds would drive me nuts. Is it really worth upgrading? I really enjoy the accuracy of the Eco Drive.
I'm no expert but I can honestly say that coming from G-Shock watches to automatic mechanical watches I was hesitant due to the inaccuracy but I have come to accept that and make allowances for it every couple of days. Something nice about a mechanical movement which you don't find with quartz. You become accustomed to picking up or dropping a second or ten every day or so. The mechanical movement feels alive whereas quartz feels cold and sterile.
I don’t know why, but I really really like this.
Many times I have looked at this and have been contemplating a purchase.
I have been a fan of the 6R35 movements in many seiko divers
May I ask why do you rate this one higher?
Great review as usual many thanks
