CITIZEN PROMASTER Eco-Drive Combination Watch Wave Tracker
JV3000-13E
CITIZEN’s history of creating watches for yacht racing began in 1985 with the launch of the Wind Jack. The designer of the Wind Jack, an expert sailor, used the skills and experience he gained from participating in international yacht races to craft CITIZEN’s first sailing watch, and these watches have continued to evolve over the last 40 years.
This new model carries on CITIZEN’s proud tradition of sailing watches as a combination watch with a high-definition MIP display. The Wave Tracker is equipped with a host of practical features that are essential for yacht racing. Thanks to the newly-developed Cal. U812, this model is equipped with both a race mode and a tide graph mode. This exciting new model opens up new possibilities for yacht racing and marine sports.
The race mode and tide graph mode features assist with specialized timekeeping and essential tasks on board. Race mode includes a race timer that counts down to the start of the race and then automatically begins keeping time once the race has begun. The watch provides essential information for every stage of the race, from the pre-race period until the finish line. The rotating bezel works as a slide rule to show angle and direction, and it can also be used as a tool to determine the points of sail for yachts, based on the wind direction. The tide graph mode calculates the tide level at a selected location and displays hourly tide level predictions on a graph. It can display high tide and low tide times in addition to indicating tide direction changes. The watch can also simultaneously provide information about moon phases and sunrise/sunset times for 203 locations worldwide, making it the ideal partner for marine sports or outdoor activities.

- ※1 Eco-Drive is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology that powers watches using any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need to replace batteries. Certified as an Eco Mark product for the first time in the watch industry.
- ※2 Anti-reflective coating: A multi-layered coating applied to the glass. The coating reduces the reflection of light from the surface of the glass that makes the dial easier to see.
- ※3 Light-level Indicator detects and displays the intensity of light striking the dial (which generates the electricity to run the watch) in seven levels, allowing wearers to easily gauge the charge level in any given situation.
- ※4 Perpetual calendar is a fully automatic calendar control function that automatically adjusts the end of each month, including the months of a leap year, until February 28, 2100.
※ BENEBiOL™ : A biomass-based raw material for polyurethane(polycarbonatediol) developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.
This material is contained in our watch straps as a raw material to achieve better durability and environmental friendliness.
