Taking Flight With The Citizen Promaster Navihawk Blue Angels

Citizen’s Promaster Navihawk has a host of cool functions for all your horological needs. If you are a “one watch” kind of guy (or female fighter pilot), this could be the only watch you'll ever need.

Firstly, it is solar-powered, using Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology. If you are unfamiliar with this kind of movement, the timepiece converts any source of light (natural or artificial) into useable energy, meaning that there is no winding or recharging to bother with, and the watch will never need a new battery. And if you live in the Arctic Circle, don’t worry about not getting enough sunlight, the timepiece can charge even with very dim light.
 

The Citizen Promaster Navihawk is radio-controlled, so it automatically indicates the correct time and date without the need for any manual setting. It achieves this by connecting to local atomic clock transmitters. The result is an accuracy of an astounding one second every 100,000 years. And if you are want to be doubly sure, you can also do an update on demand. The beauty of the Citizen Promaster Navihawk is that it also updates when you are traveling, via five signal stations in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan, and China, covering 43 cities.
 

There are numerous Citizen Promaster Navihawks to choose from with different colored dials and materials. Photographed here is the Navihawk Blue Angels version that honors the United States Navy’s flight demonstration squadron and features the acrobatic team’s logo on the dial. The watch comes with an elegant stainless steel mesh bracelet and a dark blue dial and bezel. Yellow, green, and red touches on the dial give it a particularly sporty look, along with luminescent hands and indexes for reading at night.
