A rich matte black background covers the main dial face to eliminate distracting glare. The dark surface creates maximum contrast against the surrounding light gold-tone accent rings and sub-dials. 

Highly detailed texture appears across the sub-dials, creating dynamic visual depth under various lighting conditions. The main hands feature radiant light gold-tone plating with white luminous center fills. 

Applied gold-tone indices and clear arabic numerals enhance rapid time orientation during fast flight operations. Dual digital LCD screens sit seamlessly in the lower quadrants to display digital parameters clearly. 

A rotating inner pilot slide-rule ring frames the perimeter for calculating flight time and fuel consumption. The Citizen adds a small contrast on the second hand by using green tone.

You never need to replace a battery throughout the lifespan of the timekeeper. Full power reserve functions keep the internal movement running up to six months in complete darkness.

Radio-controlled atomic timekeeping technology ensures absolute accuracy across four primary global signal regions. The internal computer automatically synchronizes time signals across North America, Europe, China, and Japan.
