The Citizen Promaster Altichron BN4065-07L is a robust and feature-rich watch designed for outdoor enthusiasts and those who appreciate a tool watch aesthetic. This review dives into the details of the Altichron, exploring its strengths and potential drawbacks to help you decide if it’s the right timepiece for your wrist.
Built to Withstand the Elements:
The Altichron boasts a 47mm Super Titanium case with a Duratect DLC coating. This translates to a lightweight yet incredibly durable construction that can shrug off bumps, scrapes, and everyday wear. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures excellent scratch resistance and clear readability in all lighting conditions. The 200-meter water resistance makes it suitable for swimming and even light scuba diving.
Functionality for Adventure:
Citizen equips the Altichron with a solar-powered Eco-Drive movement, meaning no battery replacements are needed. This is a major perk for those venturing off the beaten path. The watch boasts a range of functions targeted towards outdoor activities, including:
The watch also features a date window and luminous hands and markers for low-light visibility.
Stylish Design:
Despite its functionality, the Altichron isn’t all about brawn. The blue dial with contrasting accents offers a sporty yet sophisticated look. The blue nylon strap complements the overall aesthetic and provides a comfortable wear experience.
Considerations:
The 47mm case size might be on the larger side for some wrists. If you have a smaller wrist, it’s recommended to try the watch on before purchasing to ensure a good fit. The feature-rich dial can appear busy to some users who prefer a simpler look.
Overall Impression:
The Citizen Promaster Altichron BN4065-07L is a compelling option for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a feature-packed and durable timepiece. The Eco-Drive solar power, robust construction, and built-in altimeter, compass, and date functionality make it a reliable companion for your adventures. However, the size and potentially busy dial might not suit everyone.
