Citizen watch had already proposed something similar when it issued the Citizen Eco- Drive Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024- 05E back in 2014. The Citizen Promaster Eco- Drive Aqualand BN2037- 11E 30 th Anniversary watch thus confirms a tradition that Citizen began in the mid-eighties when it initially presented the Aqualand. As evidence, thereof the brand presented last year gold accents adorned commemorative timepieces when it celebrated its 100 th Anniversary. This edition introduces subtle details that are pretty popular in Japanese watchmaking tradition, as it combines metal case to gold-colored accents. I hope and I believe the thirty years commemorative edition that is pictured in this article and is named Citizen Promaster Eco- Drive Aqualand BN2037- 11E 30 th Anniversary Limited Edition, will soon arrive. We're still not aware of what Citizen will be offering on the Italian market, I think however it's just a matter of weeks. In Japan, for example, three variations of the new Aqualand are currently available, and they all sport a black or blue dial, whereas in the UK Citizen offers one version with a red bezel ( Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Aqualand BN2039- 59E) and another with the so-called " Pepsi " bezel ( Citizen Promaster Eco- Drive Aqualand BN2038- 01L). When it was first released, I spent time surfing the brand's country websites to understand what variant had the brand launched on each market.

We learned the full story behind the direction the Design team undertook before 2013 when they then introduced masterpieces like the Citizen Promaster Altichron in Titanium and the Citizen Promaster Altichron Cirrus, before turning back to their roots and adopting a more conservative style.Īs a take-out of that experience, the new Citizen Promaster Eco- Drive Aqualand comes in as a full analog watch, although designers tried to mimic the original Aqualand case's style as faithfully as possible.
The company, therefore, starts usually selling its new Promaster watches initially in Japan, and some of them will never hit the Italian stores, like the Team Kuroshio special edition watch, that was just conceived as a JDM (Japan Domestic Market) collection exclusively.ĭuring our tour of the brand's booth, at Baselworld 2019, we discovered all their new products, but our press meeting lasted much longer than expected. It is nothing new Japan is the domestic market to Citizen watches. The Citizen Promaster Aqualand 1 JP2000- 8E, the very last iteration of this legendary diver's watch, has finally a proper successor whose full name still includes the term " Aqualand." The modern Citizen Promaster Aqualand was launched overseas at the end of last year's first half, and I discovered it by chance, while surfing the Citizen Watch Japan's official Instagram profile.
The first Aqualand is a legendary timepiece that still holds its place in the brand's catalog thanks to the iconic design and a retail price below the € 400 threshold, that makes it pretty attractive and quite sought-after too. I'm talking about the first release, the timepiece that debuted in 1985 as Citizen Aqualand to then become Citizen Promaster Aqualand once the Promaster collection debuted in 1989, as I explained in our article that officially opened the celebrations for the 30 th Anniversary of the Promaster collection. In my small community, there are at least ten people who own or have owned a Citizen Promaster Aqualand.
