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.

The placement of the crown at the 8 o'clock position is intentional, the idea being to minimize crown digging, which takes place when your arm is positioned downward and you angle your hand upward.
I own many of these Citizen Pro Divers, and have never found the crown position to be a problem. When winding, I merely turn the watch upside down, and then it operates like normal. I also set the time that way, which, granted, involves reading the time upside down, but it's not something I do often, and (in my eyes at least), it adds to the charm.
Personally, I would have no problem wearing this Citizen every day if I was limited to owning only one watch but thankfully not the case!
