Eco-Drive Technology
The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M Divers Watch is powered by Citizen’s innovative Eco-Drive technology. This technology harnesses the power of light‚ converting it into energy to power the watch. This eliminates the need for battery changes‚ making it a more environmentally friendly and convenient choice. The watch can be charged by any light source‚ including sunlight‚ artificial light‚ and even the faint glow of a nightlight. The Eco-Drive system features a solar cell that is integrated into the watch’s dial. This cell captures light and converts it into electrical energy‚ which is then stored in a rechargeable battery. The stored energy powers the watch’s movement‚ ensuring continuous and accurate timekeeping.
Citizen Eco-Drive watches are designed to be extremely energy-efficient. They can store enough energy from a few hours of exposure to light to operate for months. The Eco-Drive technology also ensures that the watch’s power reserve is maximized‚ providing you with reliable timekeeping even in low-light conditions. The Eco-Drive system is designed to provide long-lasting performance‚ and the watch’s rechargeable battery can last for years with proper care. This technology makes the Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M Divers Watch a truly exceptional and sustainable choice for divers and watch enthusiasts alike.
Water Resistance
The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M Divers Watch is designed to withstand the rigors of underwater exploration. It boasts a water resistance rating of 200 meters (20 ATM)‚ making it suitable for professional diving and other water-based activities. This high level of water resistance is achieved through a combination of features and design elements‚ including a robust case construction‚ a screw-down crown‚ and a specially designed gasket system.
The watch’s case is crafted from high-grade stainless steel‚ which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance. The screw-down crown helps to secure the watch’s internal mechanisms and prevent water from entering the case. The gasket system‚ which includes O-rings and other seals‚ creates a watertight barrier around the watch’s case‚ preventing water ingress even at significant depths. The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M Divers Watch has been rigorously tested and certified to meet the highest standards of water resistance‚ providing divers with the confidence and reliability they need to explore the underwater world with peace of mind. However‚ it is important to note that while the watch is designed for diving‚ it should not be used for saturation diving or other extreme underwater activities.
Features
The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster 200M Divers Watch is packed with features designed to meet the needs of professional divers and enthusiasts alike.

The unidirectional rotating bezel allows divers to accurately track their dive time. It is designed to rotate only in one direction‚ preventing accidental miscalculation of dive time. The depth measurement function‚ typically found in Aqualand models‚ allows divers to monitor their depth underwater.
The alarm function provides a convenient way to set reminders or alarms for important events. The chronograph function allows divers to time events with precision‚ useful for measuring dive times or tracking other activities.
