My collection of Citizen watches include a diver. But unlike other watches, this one is a lefty or designed for the left handed (watch is worn on the right wrist and can be adjusted using the left hand). It is not exactly a rare one but is not a common one either in the sense that there are few with this orientation.

| This watch is powered by an Citizen 8203 movement by Miyota that runs at 21,600 A/h with a supposed power reserve of 43h. I haven't really gone into testing the watch but it usually lasts more than 36h. |

These are watches that are often preferred by those who want to have what they call a 'beater' or everyday watch. I actually prefer dress watches over divers but wear one whenever the weather or the occasion (swimming) calls for it. And with the weather in the Philippines, that means wearing a diver more frequently during the wet season. My preference though would be my Mido Cal. 80, which is to me a very reliable piece.
[Note: I unloaded this watch last year. Had to let go as I trimmed my collection. 2/11/2021]
