CITIZEN PROMASTER – Spirit of Challenges

From its debut in 1989, the Promaster has been a firm favourite with professionals who challenge their limits. It has been taking performance to a higher level to meet the needs of the pros who blaze the trails others follow.

Promaster marks its 30 years anniversary in 2019. However the natural environment, the Promaster has been challenging, has degraded badly over that time. That’s why Promaster, as the watch for explorers who enjoy the challenges, possibilities and wonders of nature, has chosen to use its anniversary to celebrate sustainability’s unsung heroes — the people who actively protect the environment every day.

Epilogue

It’s important to be in nature because as a race, humans are a part of nature, not separate from it. There are a lot of incredible lessons to be learned from nature: self-reliance, being able to get through difficult situations, this idea of being outside and being creative without having any sort of structure. Nature is the ultimate playground as far as I’m concerned. Confidence, working with other people, being creative, decompressing—all those things that are really important aspects of a healthy human being come directly from nature.
