Citizen is generally less well known than Seiko for their dive watches,watches for you, however they do offer some very interesting pieces (e.g. a 1,000m mechanical nicknamed "Autozilla"; a 300m Eco-drive called "Eco-zilla"; and a new 200m Eco-Drive known as "Orca",used rolex watch, among others). Adding to their innovative diver collection, and challenging what it means for a dive watch to be considered a "diver", Citizen now has a new line of Eco-Drive divers with chronographs and alarms. At the head of the pack is the BL5315-50E.
The Citizen BL5315-50E
At 44mm of stainless steel, it's large but understated. Features include:
Stainless steel case and bracelet Perpetual calendar (nice!) Eco-Drive (4-month power reserve) 1-hour stopwatch 12/24 time and dual time zone support Alarm Water resistant to 200 meters, or about 660 feet Mineral crystal Unidirectional ion-plated ratcheting bezel 44mm case, not counting the crown (nice and chunky)There are several similar versions available with slightly different colors and looks. The BL5314-52E is the most expensive at $475 while the BL5334-04E sits at the lower end at $375.
Citizen really seems to be stepping up their game lately. Lots more to come.
