CITIZEN FUGU 2020 SERIES
In the new, Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY011 series, the signature design elements have been retained, such as the bezel with serrated teeth for easy gripping in wet conditions, as well as the new design of the hour markers that was introduced in the Promaster NY008 series in 2018. This not only comes in line with modern preferences, but gives another option for fans to be able to choose the size that fits them better. With the aesthetics of the original firmly established, CITIZEN has decided to use the same well-loved formula found in the 42mm Promaster NY008 series and create a new version in a larger 44mm size. This was due to the distinctive shape of the bezel - designed with curved and sharp edges that made it easy to grip in wet conditions - that reminded fans of the pufferfish. Most interesting however, the Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY008 series came with an engraving of a “Fugu”, or Japanese for “pufferfish” on the caseback, which was in acknowledgement of the nickname given to the original Promaster NY004 series diver by fans. These two collections, with the first in 2018 coming mainly on rubber straps, and the second in 2019, coming on stainless steel bracelets, have been a critical and commercial success.įans of CITIZEN have lauded these collections for their robust technical features, the unique back story of the original Promaster NY004 series being used by the Italian Navy, and the affordable price point that made them accessible to everyone.

CITIZEN FUGU 2020 FULL
One of the more sought after Fugu's behind the full lume version. They're all basically brand new as I wore all of them less than a handful of times.ĭescription: Bought this one from an AD in March 2020.
So, they gotta go!Īll watches are 42mm in diameter, mineral crystal, and run on the reliable Miyota 8203 (day/date display, non-hacking, handwinding, automatic). Now, notice anything that these three have in common? They all have blue bezels and I realized that's not my thing and probably why I barely wore them (I sold my all blue Fugu here not too long ago). Fugu sale!!! Don't ask me why I have so many (I have 8 total and I'm selling 3 of them) but they're my favorite dive watches from Citizen.
