Specification
The light gold-tone ion-plated stainless steel case and set the case diameter to 45.7mm for effortless wrist visibility. The profile features a well-proportioned thickness measuring approximately 13.8mm.
Solid screw-down case back technology protects internal components from sudden atmospheric pressure shifts. Promaster branding on the back certifies the strict performance standards of the watch.
A premium scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the complex dial from heavy daily abrasion. The durable crystal material maintains crystal-clear sightlines under direct harsh sunlight exposure.
This professional air instrument offers a robust water resistance rating of 200 meters. The high rating lets you wear the watch during swimming, snorkeling, and high-speed water sports.
A matching light gold-tone ion-plated stainless steel bracelet completes the exterior build. Dual-finish brushed and polished surface treatments on links enhance its luxury aesthetic.
A fold-over clasp with dual push-button release secures the heavy bracelet reliably to your wrist.
Dial
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.
Eco-Drive Movement
Citizen powers this model with the advanced caliber U680 Eco-Drive quartz movement. The proprietary Eco-Drive system absorbs any artificial or natural light source to generate electrical energy.
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.
You get a precise local time display alongside coordinated universal time across 43 world cities. Additional functions include a 1/100-second chronograph, perpetual calendar, countdown timer, and dual alarms.
