CITIZEN Promaster FUGO LIMITED PEPSI NY0088-11E

NOTE: THIS COMES WITH SPECIAL OXYGEN CASE (Miniature)

The case, dial and hands are 42mm case diameter, and use the same Caliber. Despite the case size of 42mm, the watches do wear a bit smaller, and feels quite comfortable on the wrist. The case height is 12mm.

The case is a tonneau shape with lugs extending to form a slightly elongated shape. This perhaps accounts for the seemingly smaller wearing impression. The bezel has alterating smooth and serrated edges provide a positive grip in wet conditions, and is inspired by the pufferfish, or “Fugu” in Japanese. The bezel gives the watch its signature look, as is the machine knurled crown at 8.

The hands are huge, but appropriately armed with sharp ends, which is able to provide a rather accurate reading of the time. The indices are similarly huge, and appear to be polished steel appliques filled with Superluminova. These indices are modeled after Citizen’s Aqualand model – the JP2000 instead as the circle indices used in the NY004.

The case is rated to a water resistance of 200m, but is able to survive the Commando Subaqueo Incursori pressure test of 500m. The historical Italian edition, NY004 was given a dial that was signed “Marina Militare 500m Automatic”, as a sign of confidence the Italians had on the performance capabilities of the watch. Other than then the dial, no other modifications were done to the standard specification and these divers were used for almost 10 years.
