The Citizen dive watch is among the best regarded, established dive watch now available. Far be it from making expensive diving watches that are unobtainable to the average scuba diver, a Citizen diving watch is both strong enough to fight the tribulations of a seawater environment, yet cheap enough to serve as either a first or back-up watch. This is possibly why the Citizen watchmaker has a loyal following amongst not just scuba divers, but swimmers, water skiers, wake surfers, wind surfers, jet skiers, sailors and surfers.
Citizen was originally established using the moniker "Shokosha Watch Research Institute " back in 1918. The trading name "Citizen", arose from a pocket watch of the same title which was traded on the market in 1924. During the last 75 years, Citizen extended its business to finally attain global recognition. The last 25 year period in particular, saw the company experience its most impressive expansion, leading to the commanding position maintained today as one of the biggest watchmakers in the world.
Citizen is best recognized for its "EcoDrive " solar system. Citizen "Eco " watches possess an ecological technology that captures background light sources to noticeably increase watch's power level. Using solar panels, the Citizen watch can top up the battery even under fluorescent and other kinds of non-natural light sources.
Eco-Drive watches also contain a smart power saving mode that activates when the power generating mechanism stops gathering energy due to lack of light energy input. In this power saving state, the power save effects vary from model to model, the watch halts the second hand at the 12 o'clock point. If the watch is kept in darkness for any more than three days, the other hands as well as the calendar also cease to go to reduce battery drain completely. In all power save states, the inner time is maintained, so that when more light is got by the dial, the watch will restart regular operation with the proper time.
Actually when you buy a new Citizen eco watch, you can expect that the watch battery will remain "topped up " by the natural light in your environment, meaning you may not ever be needed to switch the battery. On the other hand, Citizen do counsel a regular service which may assure your analog watch operates reliably over the long run. It is also advised that that gaskets ( in watches that have them ), get replaced each 2 or 3 years in order to preserve their water long suffering qualities.
There are numerous time-pieces inside Citizen's "diver watch " range. The majority can tolerate water pressure equivalent to 200 m below sea level. Others like the Mens Diver Watch one thousand meter NH6931-06E automated professional ( priced around $1000 plus ) exceed these depths by a long shot , but for nearly all scuba dives, 200m is clearly adequate.
Citizen watches across the board are marked either as "Diver's 200M ( air diver's 200m ) " or "waterproof twenty bar ( 200m ) ) " - ( or to the depth rating of the given watch ). The difference between the two depth rating systems are that Diver's 200M ( Air diver's 200m ) are the subject of a series of dreadful resistant to water trials before delivery from the factories, while WR200 ( Water resistant 20 bar ) watches are made for patrons who are frequently in touch with water in their day-to-day lives. These watches are not upheld to the same standard tests as the Diver's 200M, so are not warranted to stand up when put through the tougher conditions of scuba dives.
The most well liked Citizen product series in the dive class are Promaster Carbon, Aqualand, pro Diver and eternal Calendar. All current day Citizen dive watches have the Citizen EcoDrive light powering system.
