The Citizen Promaster BN0268-01E is the high-visibility statement piece in Citizen's new four-colour Promaster Marine diver lineup — a black dial paired with a bold orange unidirectional rotating bezel and matching orange BENEBiOL™ biomass-based polyurethane strap. If you want a dive watch that looks like a dive watch from across the room, this is the one.
Powered by Citizen's new Caliber E118 Eco-Drive movement, this offers approximately 12 months of power reserve from a full charge — double the previous generation — with no battery to replace, ever. A screw-down crown and ISO-certified 200-metre water resistance back up the diver credentials, with sapphire crystal and anti-reflective coating protecting the dial.
At just 40.6mm and 11.7mm thin, weighing only 86 grams on the strap, this is a compact, lightweight, genuinely ISO-certified diver built for active use. Antimagnetic construction adds further everyday resilience.

Why You'll Love It
- This is the most eye-catching, unapologetically sporty piece in the whole Promaster Marine lineup — a genuine statement colourway, not a subtle accent.
- An approximately 12-month power reserve from a full charge is double the previous generation of Citizen Eco-Drive divers — genuinely long-term peace of mind, even if it sits unworn for months.
- Genuine ISO dive certification means this meets the recognised international standard for dive watches, not just a "water resistant" marketing claim.
- The BENEBiOL™ strap uses a biomass-based raw material developed by Mitsubishi Chemical, offering improved durability with a genuinely lower environmental footprint than standard petroleum-derived polyurethane.
- At just 40.6mm and 11.7mm thin, weighing only 86 grams, this is one of the lightest and most compact ISO-certified divers in its class — comfortable for all-day wear, not just diving.
- Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating keeps the dial legible and scratch-resistant in bright sun or low light.
- Antimagnetic construction adds genuine everyday resilience beyond the water-resistance rating.
- Eco-Drive means no battery, ever. Any light source — sunlight or an office lamp — keeps it charged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a genuine dive watch?
Yes. It carries ISO certification for dive watches, with a screw-down crown and 200 metres of water resistance — a real diving instrument, not just a diver-styled everyday watch.
How does the rotating bezel work?
The unidirectional bezel tracks elapsed time — line up the marker with the minute hand at the start of a dive or activity, then read off elapsed time as the bezel rotates. It only turns one way, a safety feature that prevents misreading less time than has actually passed.
What is BENEBiOL™?
BENEBiOL™ is a biomass-based raw material for polyurethane, developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. It's used in this watch's strap to improve durability while lowering the environmental footprint compared to standard petroleum-derived polyurethane straps.
What is Eco-Drive?
Eco-Drive is Citizen's light-powered movement technology. A cell beneath the dial converts any light source — sunlight, a lamp, an overhead office light — into energy stored in a rechargeable cell, so the watch never needs a battery.
How long does the charge last if I stop wearing it?
Approximately 12 months from a full charge with no further light exposure — double the previous generation of Citizen Eco-Drive divers. An Insufficient Charge Warning function alerts you before the reserve runs out.
Can I actually dive with this watch?
Yes. With ISO certification and 200 metres of water resistance, it's built and tested for recreational diving, not just swimming or water sports.
Does an Eco-Drive watch need servicing?
Far less than a mechanical watch — there's no mainspring or balance assembly to wear in the same way. The rechargeable cell is designed to last many years under normal use. Bring it to any City Chain outlet if you notice reduced charge retention over time.
Will 40.6mm fit my wrist?
40.6mm sits comfortably in the modern men's diver range and suits most wrist sizes well. At just 11.7mm thick and 86 grams, it's genuinely lightweight and compact for an ISO-certified diver.
Is the strap adjustable?
Yes. The 20mm BENEBiOL™ strap closes with a standard buckle and can be sized as needed. City Chain can assist with fitting in-store if required.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The BN0268-01E comes with a 3-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer. Keep your warranty card and proof of purchase — both are required when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
