I am especially addressing divers, as the Citizen Promaster Aqualand JP2000-8E is not an everyday common water resistant timepiece but merely an ISO 6425 compliant wristwatch.
Any diver, skipper, athlete peer out there has owned an Aqualand, or is aware of what an Aqualand is. You might argue I’m a bit of a romantic and I will accept any criticism, but I do think this timepiece really is an icon, or at least a sport icon.
I bought one, used it, abused it, and it even survived a small accident with a friend’s bike and then one day, all of sudden as it is often the case with something you just buy as a fashion item, I placed it into a drawer and lost track of it for good.Ģ0 years later, an engineering degree in my pocket, I have a collection of timepieces, I run a watch replica blog and I have decided to introduce a new column called “ Icon by Horbiter ”, by talking about the Citizen Promaster Aqualand JP2000-8E. Įven if I was studying engineering and technical subjects on a daily basis, at the time I never asked myself what that bump had to do with the watch replica itself I was just eager to own one as it truly was one of the coolest accessories among teenagers, especially the older ones, so I decided to wrap one around my wrist too. In 1994 I was 20, I was in my second year of Engineering, I had a Japanese hard tuned scooter (some of my mates, lucky them, had a motorcycle), and at the same time a diver’s sport watch replica with an asymmetrical case and a strange protrusion on its left side was becoming all the rage in Italy: it was the Citizen Promaster Aqualand JP2000-8E.

And the screw lock crown and push buttons enhance the waterproofing performance while preventing the malfunction. You can dive with security after checking the charged capacity before diving. There is no need of regular battery replacement thanks to the Eco-Drive technology. Because the luminous color of the hands to indicate the present and the maximum depth is different from that for the dive time, the visibility is excellent under water or in the dark. The water sensor at 3 o’clock reacts to the water, and the depth of the water is automatically measured by the water pressure sensor at 9 o’clock.
