When we refer to Japan and its watch industry everyone, and rightly so, instantly think of one company: Seiko. However, there is more than that. Although Seiko has produced a large number of excellent, iconic and historical timepieces, it is unfair to forget other companies like Citizen. In this article we are going to examine one of the most iconic dive watches coming from Japan of all time. No, it is not the Tuna Marinemaster or the Seiko 6105, but the iconic Citizen Aqualand Promaster.
CITIZEN AQUALAND SUPERLUME
Relogio Citizen Aqualand
Citizen Aqualand CO29 from december 1989, measuring in feet instead of meters. Beautiful shape, look at the undamaged screws! Wonder what the front of this one looks like....
Citizen Promaster Aqualand Series I CO26 from May 1986. Near mint and very early watch. What a find!

WOW! Citizen Aqualand CO27 from October 1985. One of the very first? Prototype? A very rare case.... Notice the bottom (DO NOT OPEN!..) text is missing. Who knows more about this? Photo courtesy of my friend George from Greece.
Citizen Promaster Aqualand COxx interior view after removing the battery tray.
This is a Citizen Aqualand Promaster CO22 FAKE. Note there is a "stainless" backplate instead of a "Base Metal IB". People paint ordinary stainless watches black to look like PVD or titanium watches..... Don't let them fool you!
Citizen Aqualand Promaster leather strap. Ever seen something like this? This strap turns your workhorse into a dress watch? Seems original and most suitable for the two tone CO23 CO22 version.

What a beautiful find. A Citizen Promaster Aqualand Series 1 from May 1986. Watch is in mint condition...
Citizen Aqualand CO28 inside view. Finished batteries should always be removed as soon as possible! Empty batteries will leak. Not fluid but fumes. These acid fumes cannot leave the watch because it is completely closed. They will invisibly destroy the watches circuit board. Always store Aqualands you don't use WITHOUT batteries.
Here is a beautiful Citizen Aqualand Promaster CO23. Note the typical wear on the Ion Bonded PVD coating.
