I got my issue of WatchTime yesterday, and was pleased to see that Citizen now has an auto diver in their Signature line. I couldn't find any info at all on the web, and it's not on Citizen's website yet, so I took a picture of the magazine ad. What do you guys think? I like it, but it's probably too big for me. I would definitely consider it if it fit me, though.

Re: Finally! Citizen Signature diver with Miyota 9012 auto

It looks like a very nice watch with a very nice movement and I'd love to see one in person. The size is alright, depending on how the watch wears but that crown and crown protector look like they would stick out too much for my wrist. I've been preferring crowns at the 4 o'clock position for a while now.

Gaaah!!! They killed it with the crown guard IMO of course. Otherwise, looks great

Yeah, I could do without the crown guard. I wonder if the bezel is standard aluminum or something else? Hard to tell just from the picture.

I LOVE IT! They fixed the one thing I really didn't like about the Grand Touring model, the odd hour markers. I like these hour markers much better and it's a diver to boot. Sign me up!

I'd buy one ... I think it looks great.

Yes the crown guard is a bit oversized, but otherwise a very nice looking watch.

Is the 9012 a new movement? I haven't heard of it before. I'm guessing its equivalent to the 9015 only this one is exclusive to Citizen?

You're exactly right - it's the 9015, but it's the version Citizen uses in their own watches (at least I've not seen it used by other makes).

That's funny. I just saw that add, and searched on WUS to see if anyone had one. I hope I'll be able to see one of these in person. Still waiting for my Macy's to get the non diver version in.

It's good to see auto watches coming from Citizen.

 

[Mediocre]

Great news, I bet AZ Fine Time will have one soon!

That is fantastic. I'm wearing the 200m version right now and I love it. Fantastic build quality - great, hand made movement. Citizen is really out-doing themselves to try to push into the US luxury watch market.

I like it, nice departure from the zilla.

Finally a dive watch I would buy with their new Miyota movement. Can't wait for more pictures and info about this watch.

Hrrrmm...new Citizen auto diver you say?

Looks pretty good, not sure on the crown guard- I don't hate it, but as mentioned- don't want it digging in. Would love to see more and better pics.

I had the non dive version. Negatives for me were push/pull crown and pretty weak lume. Wore nice and was definitely pretty to look at.

I actually like the look of the Citizen diver a lot. The only thing I would have changed is to lume those big flat hour markers, the little rectangular lume areas look minimal. Otherwise I really like the other design elements. Maybe the Ecozilla will have a Citizen companion in the collection if the price is right.

Like it. Gonna own one… the real question will be how long before it's flipped.

Nice diver,seems to have a couple of styling cues from Omega.
