Citizen Automatic Divers watch

My first automatic watch ever! When looking for a nice and sturdy dive watch, i wanted a watch that never needs a battery. And that’s when I read about automatic movements…

So of course i browsed the internet and searched and read many websites and forums. This being my first automatic watch it felt like an adventure. I had never owned an automatic watch and was not really aware of how it works or how robust it was going to be. The requirements, besides the obvious dive watch design, where obvious:

  • never replacing a battery
  • it had to be waterproof
  • it should be abe to take a beating

Of all automatic dive watches i found online i liked the Rolex Sea-Dweller the best. Also watches like the Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster and several TAG Heuer divewatches really did it for me. But these where all far out of my league. When i bumped into the Citizen diver’s automatic i immediately knew this would make the perfect holiday watch for me and be the first experience with an automatic watch as well.

On the James Bond NATO strap it travelled with me to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Egypt, Jordan, Marocco and many more places. It has seen some of the most beautiful places on this earth, above and underneath sealevel :D

    I owned a similar watch and I am quite sorry and sold it to buy a TAG Heuer

    Well, TAG Heuer also makes beautiful and good watches… but this Citizen served me well during my last vacation while diving in the Red Sea :)

    When not in the water, my IWC Pilot Chronograph was on my wrist. This one proved to be an excellent choice for vacations. The readebility is superior to any other watch i own and the superluminova makes it easy to read the time during the nightly hours.
