This is a superb watch at this price point. It is basically a remake / update of the classic NY0040 series. The main difference is the case diameter was expanded from 40mm to 42mm. The NY0040 was legendary for ruggedness and reliability. It is worthy alternative to the Seiko SKX009 which has been discontinued.

Key features:

This is a true dive watch, not some cosmetic wannabe. Notice the printing on the dial, "Automatic Diver's 200M". That means this is an ISO certified dive watch that can withstand depths up to 200M. It's predecessor, the NY0040 was standard issue to the Italian Navy divers and had been tested to over 500M!
Unidirectional rotating bezel.
The lume is excellent and will last the entire night.
The crown is screw down, standard for a 200M rated dive watch.
The placement of the crown on the left hand side is to help prevent digging into the back of the hand/wrist.
The 8203 movement is non-hacking, automatic self winding that also can be hand wound.

I would agree with an earlier poster to get one with a bracelet, which is a mixed bag (same as the one on the NY0040). The endpieces are hollow and the links are folded metal which screams cheap. But, the clasp is excellent with a racheting sliding feature to quickly expand to fit over a wetsuit sleeve.

Bottom line, this watch is the real deal. You will love this watch.

Claimed MSRP $325. Some other colors and bracelets are just a little more than this one

You can get a 20.00 discount also by entering your email. Try to find one that has the 8204 movement that hacks, the 8203 does not hack. Mineral glass instead of sapphire could be a deal breaker for some.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank euuser13622483

A number of these are marked 8203 on the dial but have an 8204 movement inside which does have hacking. At this price it's a no-brainer - it's Citizen's SKX.

SS bracelet version is available for slightly more (+$11). Well worth it IMHO. A citizen divers bracelet alone can run over $100.

Care to elaborate a bit on why one would want the movement that 'hacks'?

Hacking stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled. This allows for easier/more accurate time setting.

It is desirable but not a deal breaker. In any case, you will probably get the hacking movement with this watch.

I have this in the black dial. Excellent watch that keeps great time. I paid $88 for mine on an Amazon deal just before valentine day a few years ago.

Fun fact: this is basically the same watch that was used by the Italian Navy's elite divers (their equivalent to our SEAL divers). You can search "Citizen Marina Militare" if you want to find out more. That kind of lore can add to the appeal.

I have this watch. Super classic. Great day-to-day watch, even for causal functions. I had few people wearing smartwatch asked what watch is it.
