In this Citizen NY0040 review video, I look at the legendary automatic Promaster diver with years of military service. This version has been on sale for over 30 years, but is it the best Citizen dive watch you can buy? Is it any good vs Seiko and Orient? Specifically, this one is the NY0040-17LE, though other watches come in black and Pepsi colors, with bracelets instead of straps.
