Citizen - Promaster ALTICHRON Super Titanio - Diver's ISO...

Citizen Promaster ALTICHRON in Titanium. The new challenge for Citizen Usually a watch enthusiast behaves like this: in youth one is drawn to digital and quartz watches, years pass and one begins to dream of mechanical (and Swiss) ones; then, with the first significant earnings, the dream is fulfilled by adding one or more luxury watches to the collection. Citizen, to name a major Japanese manufactory, is among the largest producers of mechanical watches and quartz watches in the world and boasts an endless series of records and patents. At Baselworld 2013 it presented a new range of watches within the Promaster line, called Altichron. THE STORY OF THE ALTICHRON COLLECTION Altichron is not a new name, just as the Promaster family is not, known to all professional divers and to lovers of multi-purpose watches. It was launched in the 1980s and complemented, together with Aqualand and Aerochron, Citizen’s lineup of sport watches. The Altichron featured a function to measure pressure and altitude (-300m to +5000m), very useful for climbers or simply for fans of technical “gizmos.” Encased in a case with the typical shape of the Citizen sports line: a sensing element located at 9 o’clock and the various functions managed at 2, 4, 8 and 10 o’clock respectively. In 2013 Citizen introduces the new Citizen Promaster Altichron, a dive watch water-resistant up to 200m equipped with a compass and altimeter (without a barometer). What immediately strikes is the design of the watch. To call it successful would be simplistic: it vaguely reminds of the first Citizen Promaster Altichron but it is, in order, more attractive, with a decidedly original look, and it is the fruit of a new stylistic direction. With a build quality high enough to elevate the standards of the Promaster family. And then, any digital display disappeared! It is a 100% analog watch! If you look at the dial, the four concentric subdials recall another little-known but very beautiful limited-series watch by A. Dunhill from years ago, the Pentagraph A-Centric. The Citizen Promaster Altichron’s styling, however, is typically high-tech with aeronautical-styled, skeletonized, and colored subdials like the reference scales, to aid reading on a very busy dial. The main priority is reading hours, minutes, and seconds: in short, the Citizen Promaster Altichron is a five-hand watch (six with the small seconds at 9 o’clock). The dial is a riot of information: the functions guaranteed by the electronic brain of the Citizen Promaster Altichron are many and the logic is complex, in short it is a wrist computer, so describing them all in a single article is impossible, you’d miss and I’d understand you, but if you want to know more, arm yourself with a bit of patience! Engine: the caliber of the Citizen Promaster Altichron is an Eco-Drive, so it recharges with natural light via a photovoltaic cell located under the dial, according to a precise table that links exposure time to light with recharge duration. The power reserve indicator is at 9 o’clock on a scale divided into four sectors from 0 to 340 days. If the watch is low on charge (indicator in the first sector) the measuring functions are inhibited. Altimeter: activates and deactivates by pressing the button at 8 o’clock; reading is obtained via three hands. Indications are on a base of 1000, 100 and 2.5 meters. The power reserve dial, thanks to the white external numbered scale, serves to indicate altitudes from 1000 to 10000 meters. The central dial indicates altitude from -300 to 900 meters. A watch not easy to find on the market, with unique and particular characteristics. A small jewel of elegance and technology. New watch, complete with every Citizen accessory.
