The 5 best Citizen diving watches for summer, the sea and adventure

Geplaatst op 14-04-2026 door Marc Hut

What are your plans for this summer? Are you heading off in search of the sun? Chances are you’ll end up on a beach somewhere in southern Europe – or perhaps even further afield. If you’re heading to the coast or planning to go swimming or perhaps even diving, it’s wise to wear a watch that can withstand a splash of water! With a Citizen diving watch on your wrist, you’ll be all set and can even take on the extremes. Discover 5 of our best Citizen diving watches.

Citizen BJ8056-01E Godzilla Promaster 'Ecozilla' Diver horloge

Citizen BJ8056-01E Godzilla Promaster Diver watch

This striking diving watch is not only functional and suitable for use at all depths, it also boasts a truly unique design. This Limited Edition watch owes its name to the iconic design inspired by Godzilla’s scales. The Godzilla has a rather substantial case diameter of no less than 48 mm. A striking watch, then, but one that is water-resistant to 300 metres (!) and features luminous hands and hour markers.

The Citizen BJ8056-01E is fitted with mineral glass where you might expect sapphire crystal, but there is a reason for this: sapphire crystal is harder but can crack under the extremely high pressure at which this watch still needs to function. Mineral glass is better able to withstand this. This beast naturally has luminous hands and hour markers and comes with a free strap extender so it can also be worn over your diving suit.

Citizen BN0260-54L Promaster Marine watch

This diving watch from Citizen’s Promaster Marine collection is one of the newer models from the Japanese watch brand. It is available in various colours, but this watch, with its blue dial and bezel, is one of the most popular. The BN0260-54L has strikingly large hour markers and hands, all coated with luminous material so they are easy to read in the darkness of the deep sea. The bezel is, of course, unidirectional and ideal for timing dive times.

It features an Eco-Drive movement that charges in the light. Charge it fully as soon as you purchase the watch and it will run for up to 180 days in the dark. Even underwater, in fact. With this Men's watch, you can dive to a depth of 200 metres; the screw-down crown and case back ensure excellent water resistance. The solid bracelet with a safety clasp ensures you won’t lose this watch easily.

Citizen BN1024-01Z Promaster Marine

This watch (also available in various colours) is truly one of our favourites. With a case diameter of 46 mm and a thickness of 16 mm, it is nice and substantial yet highly functional for water sports enthusiasts. With a water resistance of 300 metres, you can do almost anything underwater with this watch that you can imagine.

For your safety, this Promaster is also equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel and, of course, features luminous hands and hour markers. The Eco-Drive movement charges in the light and, when fully charged, this model can run for up to a year in the dark.

The BENEBiOL polyurethane watch strap is not only environmentally friendly but also extremely resistant to hydrolysis and saltwater. The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and ensures it continues to look as good as new. If you’re looking for a truly excellent diving watch, this model is a formidable choice!


citizen EO2028-06L duikhorloge

Citizen EO2028-06L Promaster Marine

Diving watches are often bulky and thick, but not everyone is a fan of such a massive case on their wrist. This EO2028-06L Promaster Marine watch is a completely different kettle of fish. With a case diameter of no more than 36 mm, this is truly a small watch. It is comfortable to wear for both men and women. Small but mighty, and certainly no less in quality than the larger models described above, as this subtle diving watch is also water-resistant to a depth of no less than 200 metres.

As you’d expect, the bezel is unidirectional, meaning it only turns in one direction. This is safer, as it means you can never accidentally stay underwater for too long. The hour markers and hands are well-lit in the dark, and this little gem also features an Eco-Drive movement (180-day power reserve). This diving watch is also ISO-certified, providing peace of mind for the true adventurer.

Citizen Promaster BN2038-01L Aqualand ECO-Drive men's watch

This cool Promaster features an Eco-Drive movement that can run for 330 days on a full charge. You charge it in the light, and the dial shows how much energy the watch has left. The J250 movement inside this watch charges fully in 2 hours of sunlight.

If you do this under indoor lighting (30 watts at a distance of 20 cm), it will take 8 hours. The features of this deep-sea diving watch are truly comprehensive. In addition to a clear unidirectional rotating bezel and striking luminous hour markers and hands, this Aqualand watch also features a depth gauge. That is the large protrusion on the left-hand side of the case.

The watch displays your current depth on the dial, as well as the maximum diving depth. This diver’s watch also features a decompression alarm. A screw-down crown and screw-down pushers ensure water resistance up to 200 metres. This is truly one of Citizen’s most comprehensive diving watches!

Citizen diving watches: functionality and reliability

Whichever Citizen diving watch you choose, with a model from the Promaster collection you’re getting a watch built for water, adventure and reliability. Whether you’re drawn to the rugged look of the Godzilla, the comprehensive functionality of the Aqualand, or the more compact case of the EO2028 06L, Citizen demonstrates that a good diving watch doesn’t just have to be robust and technically sophisticated, but can also be comfortable and stylish. This means there’s a suitable model for every water sports enthusiast and watch lover.
