Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
Citizen Promaster Dive BN0165-55L – Ice Blue Dial Eco-Drive 200M Diver
Citizen Promaster Dive BN0165-55L – Ice Blue Dial Eco-Drive 200M Diver
The Citizen Promaster Dive BN0165-55L combines professional dive-watch capability with one of the most attractive color combinations in the Promaster lineup. Featuring a striking ice-blue sunray dial, stainless-steel bracelet and rugged 44mm case, this is a serious dive watch that looks just as good above the water as it does below.
Inspired by the cool tones of glaciers and icebergs, the light blue dial immediately sets the BN0165-55L apart from traditional black and blue dive watches. Its sunray-textured finish changes character as it catches the light, while oversized luminous hands and applied hour markers provide excellent visibility in low-light and underwater conditions.
Citizen Eco-Drive Technology
Powering the BN0165-55L is Citizen's proven Caliber E168 Eco-Drive movement.
Eco-Drive converts natural or artificial light into energy, eliminating the need for routine battery replacement. When fully charged, the E168 can operate for approximately six months, making this an exceptionally practical watch for everyday wear.
ISO-Compliant 200M Diver
The Promaster BN0165-55L isn't simply designed to look like a dive watch. It is an ISO 6425-compliant diver engineered for genuine underwater use.
The stainless-steel case offers 200 meters / 20 BAR of water resistance and incorporates a screw-down crown positioned at approximately 4 o'clock. A unidirectional rotating dive bezel allows elapsed dive time to be monitored safely, while the highly luminous hands and markers are designed for excellent underwater legibility.
Unlike many Promaster divers that use polyurethane straps, the BN0165-55L comes fitted with a substantial stainless-steel dive bracelet, giving the watch a more premium and versatile appearance.
