On the underside, however, the sides of the case are heavily rounded and polished, for a really great wrist fit that prevents the tall bezel from making the watch look perched on the wrist. From the top it has simple, clean lines, brushed surfaces and nicely beveled off lugs. The case shape is also the same as the NY004 and in my opinion (and Citizen’s, evidently) it’s definitely a case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The crown is also signed with the Citizen Promaster logo. The unusual location is kind of divisive among dive watch enthusiasts for me, I love it! It prevents the crown from digging into the top of the wrist at all, and really sets this watch apart from any other diver. The NY004’s unique crown position at 8:00 has been preserved in the Fugu, although the crown itself is now knurled rather than grooved- in my opinion a great upgrade, as knurling is low profile, has a tidy presentation and is unparalleled for good grip. The NY004 was first released in 1993, and famously adopted for combat use in 1997 by the Italian Navy’s Special Forces unit. It’s impossible to talk about the Fugu without talking about its predecessor in the Citizen dive watch stable the venerable NY004. Despite this limited production, these watches are available here in the US on the used market, which is how I acquired mine. Five models of the NY008 were released, limited to 1,000 pieces each, with two more models getting a 500 piece run. The caseback has a laser-etched pufferfish motif, and perhaps the rounded bezel with the grooves gives some semblance to the spiny fish. This collection has been nicknamed “Fugu” for the Japanese word for pufferfish. This is the “Pepsi” bezel edition of the limited NY008 collection, released in 2018 and sold only to Asian markets. It’s definitely worth to consider if you’re looking for a daily beater with a quality built.Today I’m reviewing my Citizen Promaster “Fugu” dive watch, model number NY008-11E.
The cost for the Citizen FUGU NY0111 Asia Limited Edition watches are ranged from 300.00USD-350.00USD. 20B16PBU63A1C085 on Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY0111-11E If reception to the first-gen version featuring a similar dial, which was be quickly sold out, in third-gen full-lume ‘Fugu’, limited to 2,000 pieces is likely to be just as popular. However, the one that Citizen enthusiast should lookout for would be the NY0119-19X, with black bezel and full-lume dial. 20B16PBU63C1Q024 on Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY0111-11E There’s not much difference between three non-limited models – white dial with black bezel (NY0118-11A), black dial with black and blue bezel (NY0111-11E) and black dial with red and blue bezel (NY0110-13E). The Asia Limited Promaster NY011 is available in four versions. 20C16PBU63A1A112 on Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY0111-11E The bezel has also been upgraded to 120 clicks as opposed to 60 clicks in previous versions. Other features you will find with the new FUGU models is that the mineral glass has been replaced with sapphire crystal, which is much harder and more resistant to scratches. 20P16PBU63C1F029on Citizen Asia Limited Promaster NY0111-11E

The signature bezel with serrated teeth for easy gripping in wet conditions, as well as the new design of the hour markers that was introduced in the Promaster NY008 series in 2018 remain the same. Its signature left-handed crown at 8 o’clock position for protecting the impact against our wrist.

The case is in stainless steel and the shape and proportions remain the same. One of the most obvious changes with the New FUGU series is the case size is enlarged from 42mm to 44mm.
