Citizen has made its Promaster Dive Uncharted Waters watches available to US customers after an initial launch in Canada last month. The three solar-powered dive watches, created with sport fisher Peter Miller, are sold directly through Citizen's US website.

Why it matters

The expansion gives American buyers access to a collaborative dive watch line that runs on ambient light rather than a replaceable battery. Availability through the brand's own website places the watches in direct reach of US consumers.

The watches use Citizen's Eco-Drive movement, which absorbs natural and artificial light to charge the internal cell. Each model carries an ISO certification for scuba diving and a 200-meter water resistance rating.

Timeline

  1. Last month: Watches initially launched in Canada.

  2. November 10, 2026: Watches made available for purchase in the United States.

Roadmap

The Uncharted Waters collection extends Citizen's Eco-Drive movement, which has long removed the need for replaceable batteries, into a collaborative dive-watch line. It follows the brand's pattern of pairing solar-powered technology with its Promaster dive series.

For buyers, the watches represent a one-time purchase at $425 or $450 with no ongoing battery replacement costs, since the Eco-Drive movement charges from ambient light. The price points place the collection in the mid-range for solar-powered dive watches.

The takeaway

Buyers weighing a dive watch can compare the one-time purchase price against the cost of recurring battery replacements, which the Eco-Drive movement eliminates. Checking the 200-meter rating against intended use helps match a model to the wearer's needs.
