The Fergus Nash Citizen Promaster Dive 37mm is a miniaturized version of the popular diver’s watch. It’s smaller in size but still retains all the specifications you need for diving. It’s available in three models with gold PVD cases: black, blue, and grey.
Considering the sheer number of dive watches released every day, it’s not uncommon for a watch to feature a design twist that sets it apart. Rather than filling a fantasy hole in the collection with a niche genre, the new Citizen Promaster Dive 37mm series offers something simple and satisfying. For those with smaller wrists or who prefer the look of a smaller watch, these three models epitomize Citizen personality and have the impressive specs to back it up.
It’s been known that shortening the lug-to-lug length can make larger cases more wearable, but there’s only so much you can do with a massive sheet of metal. The classic 44mm size of the Citizen Promaster Dive has certainly earned its place in the watch industry, but it’s not wearable on smaller wrists. This new edition of the Promaster Dive 37mm is even more compact than the name would suggest, with a 36.5mm diameter and 43mm lug-to-lug length. The package looks just as good, proportionally, as its larger sibling, and the unchanged 11.6mm thickness is thin enough to feel well-balanced.
The case is short and chunky, resembling the shape of a tuna can, with sturdy lugs that slope down towards the strap. The crown sits at 4 o’clock, reducing the apparent bulk and preventing anything from digging into your wrist as you move around. You might think that the smaller size would mean losing some diving capability, but the screw-down crown ensures 200m water resistance, and the minute-tracked bezel meets all the criteria for ISO certification. You can even tell by the “Diver’s” inscription on the dial. Speaking of the dial, the Citizen Promaster Dive 37mm continues the tradition of the 1989 original with bold, highly legible hands and hour markers. Everything is coated with lume, so you’ll have no trouble reading the time on or off the waves.
The Promaster Dive 37mm series now features three models, each with its own unique features. The black version is the most versatile yet and will appeal to anyone who loves basics, which is understandably popular. The blue version’s contrast between light and dark tones adds summer flair and color to casual outfits. Finally, the flashiest model features a gold PVD coating and an alluring granite gray dial with a two-tone bezel insert. The included pink rubber strap is perfect for feminine styling, but you can swap it out for an 18mm leather or NATO strap for a confident color scheme that anyone can enjoy.
The Citizen Promaster Dive 37mm is equipped with the Eco-Drive E168, a quartz movement that runs on ambient light as well as sunlight. Not only is this a very useful feature, but it’s also incredibly reliable, accurate to within 15 seconds per month. It will run in the dark for up to six months on a full charge, so you’ll never have to worry about losing time.
