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.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
