Citizen’s bombproof Promaster series of wristwatches can take on just about anything from diving to punishing field duties. The latest member of the lineup is the Aqualand Special Edition. The limited-edition dive watch is anything but subtle with its chunky 46mm diameter case, deeply notched bezel, and a bold colorway. The Aqualand also has a tough sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and pushers, and is properly depth rated to 200 meters. And in true Citizen Eco-Drive fashion, it’s powered by the sun for endless battery life. The limited-edition set comes with a rescue dive tool and companion USB instructions, as well as a protective case. Even if you never go deep below the surf, this could be the perfect beach watch.
