CITIZEN PROMASTER New Combination Watches Equipped With the Cal. U822 Movement

CITIZEN PROMASTER Eco-Drive combination watch JV1005-02W.

(PRESS RELEASE) The CITIZEN PROMASTER line of professional sports watches offers superior functionality to ignite the imagination. The latest additions to the PROMASTER line-up are two new light-powered Eco-Drive combination watch models equipped with a newly developed Cal. U822 movement.

* Price, number of pieces, and launch date may be subject to change.

CITIZEN PROMASTER was established in 1989 as a brand of watch to meet the demands of professionals active in the most challenging environments of the land, sea, and air. The brand is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2024 and is debuting two new combination watch models with a newly developed Cal. U822 movement are being launched to celebrate this milestone. The display has been upgraded from segment LCD to a Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) display. This new technology offers a higher resolution for better visibility and opens up new possibilities for displaying more information. MIP displays are also much easier to see outdoors. Other functional upgrades include the ability to set multiple alarms for different times on different days. The light level indicator, which visualizes the power generated by light-powered Eco-Drive, now has improved visibility and it can display up to seven days of power generation history. Power generation details are indicated on the digital display in an intuitive format, making it easy to remember when to recharge.

The dial features large, legible hands combined with Arabic numerals and bar indices. The matte finish on the dial reduces glare and ensures that the analog display is always clearly visible. The inner ring can be rotated using the crown at the 8 o’clock position to use the watch as a compass. The polyurethane band now contains BENEBiOL, a biomass-based raw material, for improved durability.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
