30th Anniversary of PROMASTER




Save the BEYOND

In 2019 PROMASTER celebrates 30 years as the watch for explorers who enjoy the challenges, possibilities and wonders of nature. But the natural environment has degraded badly over that time. That’s why PROMASTER has chosen to use its anniversary to celebrate sustainability’s unsung heroes — the people who actively protect the environment every day.

With the History Channel, we released a campaign to report those facts along with activists’ stories in a series of short movies. The series highlights their ongoing efforts to save the world’s most pristine environments and wildlife.

As nature reaches its limits, conservation itself is the ultimate challenge.

About CITIZEN WATCH



CITIZEN WATCH is a true manufacture d'horlogerie with a comprehensive manufacturing process that extends from creating a watch’ s individual components to its final assembly. The company operates in more than 130 countries around the world. Since its founding in 1918, CITIZEN has held the belief of “Better Starts Now” — that is, no matter who you are and what you do, it is always possible to make something better, and now is the time to start doing it. Sharing this belief, we have made watches, invented and improved technologies and explored the future of watches such as our proprietary light-powered Eco-Drive technology and state-of-the-art satellite-synchronised timekeeping.
  • *1: GPS satellite-synchronized watch captures the date and time signals sent by GPS satellites from space — orbiting 20,000 kilometers above the Earth — bringing ultra-precise timekeeping to wherever people are on the face of the globe.
  • *2: Duratect is CITIZEN’s proprietary surface hardening technology that enhances the surface hardness of metals such as stainless steel and titanium, protecting watch bodies from scratches and damage. This technology offers excellent abrasion quality and maintains lustre of metals for long periods of time. 
  • Duratect DLC features smooth texture and glossy lustre, and achieves Vickers hardness of 1,000-1,400 Hv. (Vickers hardness of stainless steel is approximately 200Hv.)
  • With Duratect Gold, CITIZEN’s proprietary technology makes three gold colours, yellow gold, pink gold and sakura pink®, available. Duratect MRK and Duratect MRK Gold achieves Vickers hardness of 1,300-1,500 Hv by instilling gas onto the surfaces of titanium materials to harden.
  • *3: Eco-Drive is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology that powers watches using any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need to replace batteries. Certified as an Eco Mark product for the first time in the watch industry.
  • *4: Light-Level Indicator shows how much power the watch is generating through CITIZEN’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology on seven levels by detecting the volume of light the dial is receiving. It can be used as a reference for choosing an ideal charging positions.
  • *5: Ground-air visual signal codes: International reference signal used as air-to-ground emergency codes.
  • *6: Super Titanium™ is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology to treat solid titanium with surface hardening technology. It is at least 5 times harder than stainless steel, resistant to scratches, lightweight and gentle to the skin for comfortable wearing. 
  • *7: ISO: International Organization for Standardization. JIS: Japanese Industrial Standards. “ISO 6425 diver’s watch” and “JIS B 7023 diver’s watch” for all diver’s watch for the safety of the divers. 
  • * The final design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
  • * Eco-Drive is registered trademarks or trademarks of Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.
  • * The availability, specifications and related information such as product code for the models featured in this site, may vary by markets. If you would like to know more details, including
